Performance Troupes

Flame Oz

Flame Oz is a performance troupe based out of Australia that performs breathtaking fire spectaculars, stage shows, and walkabout circus entertainment worldwide.  

We had the pleasure of befriending two core members of this troupe when they came to our retreat in Bali in 2010 - and Karen filmed it! Check them out!

FirePoise

FirePoise was founded in 2005 by award-winning poi artist Clare Palmer. Clare and her group of lovely performers put on fire and glow shows for events across Ireland.

Nick's had the pleasure of working with them on some of their projects! Clare has worked hard to build the fire spinning community in Northern Ireland, and she also won COL 2006. Tis fire poi, mixed with some Irish loveliness :)

Sista Firewire

Sista Firewire is one of the most unique and brilliant performers Nick's met in his travels. He saw her and Till perform together a number of times over the summer. They both have natural stage presense and they just ooze theatre. They are good. See them. Hire them. Love them.

idioSYNC

idioSYNC is a Bristol based performance group run by Steve and Emily, featuring clowning, object manipulation, circus arts, stilts and more.

Their light-hearted, visually stimulating antics are sure to keep any crowd rolling in the aisles.

Flame Buoyant

Flame Buoyant is the creation of Shireen, half of the Peles Element Duo. She performs and teaches workshops in Portland, Oregon, and travels all over the West to festivals and events. She has contributed a lot to building the fire community in the States.

Poi Pixies

poipixies.com: Natasha Bird and the Poi Pixies, grooving it up in Victoria, BC, with their poi studio and performance troupe.

Temple of Poi

Templeofpoi.com: Glittergirl (a true poi super-hero) may well be the world's strongest force pushing poi into the public awareness in North America. She also played a big role in Nick Woolsey's teaching career, and has given us lots of inspiration for developing good poi lessons whilst not starving. The Temple of Poi offers poi lessons in San Fransisco on most weeknights.
