More Info
A show built around your event, not squeezed into it. That might be a featured fire set under the night sky, glowing LED trails weaving through your indoor reception, or ambient roaming performance while your guests eat, drink, and slowly realise someone is spinning fire ten metres away.
Every booking includes a pre-event chat to match the performance to your space, schedule, and vibe. On the night: I arrive early, set up quietly, perform, and pack down without fuss. Music can be performed to a curated soundtrack, or I can work with your DJ.
EXPERIENCE
Festival-tested, backyard-approved. I've performed at Fat As Butter, Earth Frequency, Antigravity, and Dragon Dreaming, as well as weddings, markets, corporate nights, and private parties. I'm also a regular contributor to Newcastle's fire and flow community - which is where the craft gets sharpened between gigs, and where I can pull extra performers from when your event calls for more than one of me.
These are the categories of entertainment or other services offered by Kindle Arts.
FIRE PERFORMANCE (outdoor)
• A flat, open performance area - minimum [5m x 5m] with [4m] clearance from guests, structures, and anything overhanging
• Grass, dirt, sand, or concrete surface (no synthetic turf or decking if possible)
• Venue permission for fire performance confirmed at booking
• Access to the space [45] minutes before the set for setup and safety checks
• Fire shows are subject to weather and NSW Total Fire Ban rules — if fire is off the table on the day, the LED show runs instead at no change to your booking
LED PERFORMANCE (indoor or outdoor)
• A [4m x 4m] performance area
• Works best with dimmable or low lighting
• No special surface, weather, or permit requirements
BOTH
• I bring all equipment, fuel, professional safety gear, and a fire blanket/extinguisher — plus a [safety spotter for fire sets]
• PA/speaker available on request for spaces without sound
Acts can be mixed and matched based on time.
• Double staff — the signature. Two staffs, woven patterns, the act people film
• Single fire staff — big, bold, classic
• Fire poi — flowing trails and tight geometry
• Contact juggling - the "crystal ball" act, equal parts hypnotic and how-is-he-doing-that
• Juggling & manipulation — playful, crowd-interactive
• Acrobatics & balances - handstands and flips
• LED versions of the above for indoor venues, early evening slots, or fire ban days
