At SkyFire Arts, we believe that Ecological Awareness & Renewable Energy are the keys to a beautiful future for all humankind. To promote this perspective & the practices associated with it, we create presentations & performances around the globe; we have been to four continents & both coasts of the US. In most of these shows, our performers wear high-voltage protective suits to dance with real electricity. Giant Tesla coils are used to produce 10 foot long arcs that are 1 million volts strong and 5000 degrees Fahrenheit, over half
as hot as the surface of the sun.
Beyond offering the thrilling nature of this spectacular technology, SkyFire Arts makes a powerful experience truly transformative by incorporating dramatic storytelling.
