Kate brought her hoops and fire to The Oaks Lakeside Restaurant and dazzled our dinner guests for a fun evening on our lawn over looking Chippewa Lake. She was fun, engaging and very talented. From booking to the end of her performance, Kate was professional, accommodating and quite enjoyable to work with. We would definitely hire her again to kick up the fun a notch!

I had the pleasure of witnessing Corners of Creation's performance at our Downtown First Friday Event, and I cannot express enough how impressed I was with Kate's professionalism and extraordinary talent. From the outset, Kate exuded professionalism, adorned in a stunning costume and armed with an array of hoops, lights, and captivating music.
What truly set Kate apart was not just her incredible skills but also her exceptional rapport with the children at the event. She engaged effortlessly with the young audience, leaving a lasting positive impression. Throughout her two-hour non-stop performance, Kate showcased an impressive array of tricks, leaving everyone in awe. One standout moment was when she flawlessly balanced the hoop on her head, a testament to her skill and artistry.
Personally, I was blown away by Kate's performance, and the decision to book Corners of Creation for our event was undoubtedly a wise one. The positive feedback we received from attendees reinforced the success of having her presence at our event. I wholeheartedly recommend Corners of Creation for any upcoming event; Kate's talent and professionalism are sure to leave a lasting and memorable impact.

Kate completely blew our team away with her multi-hoop acts. She performed at our annual fundraiser, and we could have asked for a more thorough and joyous evening. If you want someone who is experienced, versatile and so incredibly silly and fun, Kate is your gal!!! We will definitely be asking for her to come back next year. Keep it up girl!!!

From the start, Kate was impeccable with her communication. I never wondered or worried about them being a part of our event. She was on top of everything and very proactive. She could not have communicated better. In the end, we couldn't have them do the fire performance because of the weather. They were prepared to offer indoor performances last minute. I would definitely highly recommend!!

Response from Corners of Creation:
Wow!!! Thank you so much for the opportunity, Melanie! We loved celebrating with you, and had a fantastic time.
Corners of Creation arrived on time and brought the HEAT, baby!!!!!
Get it?!
Seriously, they were awesome. The guests at my family birthday party were aged 2 to 80 and were blown away by the fire art.
The performance was exciting and at times seemed to defy physics and gravity.
Afterwards they were kind enough to hang out and show the kids some tricks with LED light versions of their hoops and sticks.
I highly recommend them and they will definitely add some SPARK to your event.
Hahaha.
I’m clever.

Locally, she has had the amazing experience of working with entertainment groups such as Divine Harmony, Wizbang, 9th Avenue Street Circus, and was a featured extra in a Netflix film based in Cleveland.
A huge highlight for Kate was creating a hoop concept that became popular in the flow arts community, and was eventually performed by a Cirque Du Soleil member, and she had the opportunity to provide act building techniques.
Shas performed and facilitated workshops all around the U.S. and Mexico to include circus-styling multi-hooping, variety fire dance, juggling, balancing acts, and dance since 2013.
