When I show up for a performance I come early to inspect the "stage" area and make a visible clear boundary. This will keep the audience safe once they come for the show. Once I have set up the border I set out my safety equipment and check props and prep my tools and fuel for a smooth performance. If I have set a play list I usually bring my own speaker. For big festivals when music is provided I warm up before my set time. Just before I go on I announce the rules and safety guidelines to keep everyone safe. Depending on the length of performance will depend on how many props I will use. I start off with smaller fire props and work my way up to the biggest fire props. I offer an option for the finale to fire breath at the end of my set. Then Thank the audience and client for having me. Once I use the bathroom to clean the fuel off my body, I join my fire safety personnel to breaking down and packing up post show.

As a stilt walking character I show up early and walk to grounds for safety check. I do a safety check on my gear. I set up out of sight and walk on to the grounds in full costume. I have props I can entertain or interact with the guest. If I am up for more than two hours I take water breaks on stilts but out of sight. I am skilled to do some tricks and dance on stilts. I have dry wall stilts that is best for taking pictures with the guest. Once my time is up I make me exit disassemble the costume and pack up.

For Face Painting services I have different set ups to meet different requirements. I can have a small stand alone set up or a big set up with a photo booth for big festivals. I come early to set up and paint my own face. Depending how many guest will depend on if I will have an assistant with me to manage the line. Once time is completed I clean and pack up my area.

Greetings! I am Lovely Lady Lydia and I have been performing for 14 years. I have been a local entertainer in the Pittsburgh area for 4 years. My talents fall under circus acts such as Fire performing, stilt walking, and face painting. I build my own costumes to match themes and holidays. I have perform in many different settings from private parties, corporates events, to big festivals. I am always willing to travel. I can provide W-9 and Insurance upon request. I am also fire safety certified. I can provide my certificate if needed. Please feel free to email me at (email hidden) if you want a detailed list of entertainment packages, terms and conditions. My goal is to provide fun entertainment for the whole family in a safe environment.

Fire performances are to be out side unless the indoor venue has high ceilings and proper ventilation. The border is usually 10 x 15 ft. I have a fire safety personnel 1) to keep the audience safe 2) to protect the venue 3) to keep me safe. I bring safety equipment and my insurance to every performance. I need access to a bathroom to wash fuel off my body after performance. If I fire breath I also need to rinse my mouth out. I must know if I am creating a custom show. It takes time to come up with a playlist to match the theme of the event and choreograph for each song. If it is ambiance style performing I go 15 minutes on and 5 minutes off to prep for next set. All costumes must be fire safe (natural materials) I have my own lights for my fueling station. I have a Wireless Bluetooth Speaker for smaller events. Absolutely no smoking near the fuel and fuel station.

As a Stilt walker I need space to get up. Certain surface areas are hard to walk on. Gravel with big rocks and marble floors. I need to know if there are stairs. I can travel on an elevator when I am up on stilts it needed. I can walk up and down stairs with assistant or a wall to grab on to. I was train to learn how to fall incase of an emergency but will require help if I do not have a handler.

Face Painting I do not paint under the age of 3 years old. My service is to paint faces I do not have the ability to watch a group of kids. I am not responsible if a child is to break my equipment it will need to be replace. I can not have children contaminating my face paint by touching my supplies. In order to have the best results I need space to work and can not have people crowding my work space. I can provide my own lights for indoor and outdoor set ups. I just need to know what my environment will be like. I can better prepare to see what I'm doing if I have the right lights, coverage from the elements, etc.
