Ashley Chimera

Fire shows can be performed all at once as a 20 minute show or broken up into smaller sets of two 10 minute sets, three 7 minute sets, or four 5 minute sets.

Acts include fire eating, fire torch juggling, fire poi spinning, fire sword, fire staff, fire rope dart, dragon staff (10 wicks), fire breathing, and two extra large fire lycopodium wands that produce a flamethrower esque effect. These tools are custom made to produce larger flames and are treated with special effects to create colored flames and showers of sparks.

Costuming also features custom made one of a kind designs. I can produce additional costuming and face/body paint for a show that is tailored to be a perfect fit for your event!

Ashley Chimera's versatile, high energy style captivates audiences of all varieties from festivals, stage circuses, private events, and more. With 8 years experience in several disciplines of fire dancing, her shows are packed with nonstop shock and awe through continuous transitions that push the exhilaration to the next level again and again. With a multitude of fire tools and a grand finale like you've never seen before, her shows are a sight to behold.

Recent performances include An Evening with House of the Dragon at The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, recurring stage circus shows at Karnevil Hollywood on Hollywood Boulevard, and San Diego CityFest.

Full fire shows require a 15 square foot performance area to ensure audience safety. For stage show style performances I prefer to coordinate my songs in advance, and am very flexible on matching genres to the needs of your event. Ambient performances do not require a set list. I can provide sound for small crowds of 25-50 people. Costuming can also be curated from my existing wardrobe featured in my promotional material and beyond as needed. Some gentle lighting is helpful late at night, but the fire itself provides a good deal of light on its own too. Staging is welcome but definitely not required.

I am a very neat and organized performer, but the reality of fire shows of this scale is some amount of oil and gas will be transferred to the performance area. AstroTurf or gravel are the type of surfaces I wont be able to perform on, but otherwise I'm comfortable with most all grass, dirt, concrete, brick, and stage areas. Of course overhanging trees or very close dry brush must be avoided. I will provide my own extinguishers, fire blanket, and fire safety assistant.
