about US

 
 
 
 

A Fire and Lightning Entertainment Company

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. As a result, this act has left an indelible impression on the hearts & minds of its audiences world-wide. We offer stock shows and custom packages which include video projection, pyrotechnics & content specifically designed for our clients’ themed events. SkyFire Arts creates a totally unique presentation and profound impact, making any occasion
absolutely unforgettable.

Our mission is to empower people to realize their potential & protect the Planet through Flow Arts & Science.

Our vision is to encourage a socially just & beautiful world in which everyone is connected to renewable energy.
