A Note to Performers:
All participants are required to check in. At that time you will be assigned a performance group number, and be given fueling/safety instructions. Check-In will begin at 10:00pm. Participants who arrive at check-in after 10:30pm cannot be guaranteed a spot.
The first round will consist of 2 to 4 people performing for 1-1/2 minutes on stage simultaneously. One person from each round will advance to round two. Round two is the judging round where each performer will perform alone on stage for approximately 2 minutes, then come face-to-face with our Fire Idol Judges!!!!
Fuel (white gas only) will be provided by Fire Idol, unless you are fire breathing, in which case you will need to provide your own fuel.
Propane fueled fire trophies will be gifted to first, second and third place winners, and will resemble “the man” fire breathing, spinning poi, and spinning fans.
The Fire Idol Judges:
Our “Simon” – Vlad Marinkovic
Vlad is an engineer specializing in high temperature materials. He is an experienced fire breather, and an expert in slow motion poi. He is a Director at “Los Angeles Fire Effects”, a fire based theatrical production firm. Best known for his sharp tongue!
Our “Paula Abdul” – Anna Maltese
Anna balances being an animator and a student of Wushu / Kung Fu, with running “Phoenix Projekt”, a Los Angeles based fire troupe. She is best known for her ability to blend martial arts and fire performance on stage. Her quick wit is by far her deadliest weapon!
Our “Randy Jackson” – Roger Lai
Roger is a poi spinner whose DVD has taught numerous spinners to do the behind-the-back waistwrap. He helped start Fire Drums and the Hookahdome spin jams. Don’t let his sense of humor fool you. He has high standards when it comes to fire performances!
Our MC for the Evening – Chirs “Poon” Ory from Dance, Dance, Immolation!
Let the mayhem begin!!!
