Overview

Insured Fire or LED stage performance. I'm personally proficient with: Poi, Nunchacku, Three Section Staff, Swords, Double Staffs, Contact Staff, Rope Dart, Whips etc. Though I also source talent from other performers I work with. We can create custom shows to your desire. We also do event organization and can help in other aspects of your event planning.

A typical show can be anywhere from one 15 minute set with 1 person, to multiple sets broken up over an hour or more with up to 5 plus performers. Minimum show is one performer for 15 min/3 props at $450. The Quote range depends entirely of the scope of your imagination when it comes to how big of a spectacle you would like to have put on!

I hired Ken and his team of fire dancers for my wedding, and they were absolutely phenomenal! Ken was not only amazing and fun to work with but also deeply understood my vision for the event. We wanted both the masculine and feminine elements represented through fire dancing, and Ken perfectly achieved this balance by choosing an incredible female performer who was just as amazing as he was. The live performance was even more spectacular than any of his recorded videos, truly capturing the energy and excitement of the moment. Every guest was mesmerized by the show, making our special day even more unforgettable. Ken's professionalism, creativity, and ability to deliver a spectacular performance that surpasses expectations have us brainstorming another event just to see him perform again! I highly recommend Ken for anyone looking for entertainment that will wow your guests. He’s truly the go-to! Do not wait! Hire Ken!

Thank you so much for the outstanding review! I'm so flattered!☺️ I hope you had a splendid honeymoon and I'm excited to perform again for the next event you have! And omg yes I totally need someone to help me edit some videos to better represent how good a show can look live vs just posting totally unedited videos from a camera set up on a tripod lol 😆

From the moment we reached out to them as a possible entertainment choice for our New Year's Eve party, Sam and Kenny were both easy and enthusiastic to deal with. They were amenable towards working with our party's theme (a classic 70s/80s/90s rock n' roll party) and went faaaaar beyond our expectations, not only dressing in the appropriate costuming but performing with a playlist they themselves selected, one which caught the theme and the spirit of the evening with complete perfection.

After greeting our guests with an outdoor fire spinning show (in the rain, and never the once complaining or demurring from the challenge), they moved the action inside, moving about on the dance floor, Sam on stilts and Kenny on foot, performing LED juggling and interacting with our guests. Given that our dance floor is the rough flagstone of a castle's great hall, with roughly 60-80 guests on the floor that night at any given time, this was a challenge to say the least for a stiltwalker. And yet Sam met that challenge with a devil-may-care grin, never the once complaining. A true professional.

These two men did not only entertain: they set the mood for the night, making for a festive, convivial, and most importantly, FUN event that has had our guests raving for over the past several days now!!!

Easy to work with, skilled in their craft, personable and engaging with guests, and just plain down-to-earth and free of pretense: We are already hoping/planning to hire Fireborn on for two to three events we have coming up this 2023 season, and heartily & enthusiastically encourage others to do the same! Worth every penny, and no regrets.

What else can we say? Fireborn Performance Arts is nothing less than a REVELATION!!!!

Wow! Thank you so much for the in depth and flattering review! It means the world to us!

I'm glad to hear the guests had as much fun as we did!

Absolutely looking forward to being regular performers at the castle and possibly even bringing in other types of talent when you wanna switch it up like jugglers or aerialists etc. =)

Gratitude and growth,

It was a Halloween evening surprise during a late, incredibly windy evening, and through the tough weather, the fire was still very fun to watch. Clearly it is incredibly difficult to perform in extremely cold, New England, chill gusts, but the show kept going on, which is a testament to his professionalism as a performer and passion for his craft.
He is great to work with when choosing possible music options or objects that are set on fire. Easy to communicate with, and truly did his very best. Working with him was easy, which is always a relationship I’d prefer when looking to book any one.

What to expect

We offer fire/LED shows using props such as poi, staff, sword, hoop, fans, three section staff, double staffs,flow wand,rope dart, fire breathing, fire eating and more! You decide what kind of show you want! Customize the theme for your fire show, what props you wanna see (depends on performers available), how many performers and how long a show etc. We can choreograph shows for you or you or we can just free flow to some live music if that's what you want, it's all up to you!

We make safety our top priority! We use only highly experienced and confident fire performers for our fire performances. We always use a double bucket system to safely contain our performance fuel then use a spin off bucket or squeeze off excess fuel to prevent possible spraying of fuel, have one or more trained fire safeties holding duvetyn fire retardant blankets on site during performances, thoroughly check our performance standard (kevlar and metal) equipment and the venue for safety before performing, have a fire extinguisher by the fuel dump for last resort emergencies that we never let happen in the first place and our safety precautions don't even end there.
Indoor performances may require a fire permit from local Fire Marshall. With due notice we can help in acquiring the needed permit in time for the event.

About

I've been a Fire Dancer for 10 years. Performing with various troupes, including one I helped found and run that's since disbanded. (Formerly known as Flow Theory Fire)

Now a free lancer I dance with friends fire troupes or take small gigs as they come. No longer tied to one group of performers, I van now source talent from my broad spectrum of performer, musician and artist friends for a wider verity of performance options.

I'm also an event organizer (that's a different biography though) and am able to help organize your event and provide a PA system if needed.

Additional booking notes

We need at least a 10x10 space for our performance and a staging zone for our fuel station.

Influences and inspiration

Many friends and fellow fire troupes =)

Setup requirements

All the equipment we need will be provided.

Will need to discuss performance location
