's Human Ascension Project performance was the most amazzzing way to experience my Thursday & Friday night at Burning Man 2019.
It also happened to be the 10 year anniversary of the very first time I performed with Lucent Dossier Experience back at BM 2009, and also with El Circo in their last ever legendary Friday night show in their historic dome during their final year on the Playa, co-produced with

Special thanks to for inviting me back, and to everyone who welcomed me back in their family again with open arms, which reminded me how they're my absolute favorite troupe to collaborate with in the whole wide world, along with my very own Pyronauts I founded in 2005 🔥❤️🔥

Stravinsky's Firebird B***et by Art Haus at Burning Man 2019 was one of the most amazzzing productions I've ever had the pleasure of contributing to, featuring 40 B***et Dancers, a full 50-piece Orchestra, 7 Fire Dancers, and incredible leadership and crew.
In addition to being the center Fire Dancer in the Fire Finale I also had a small character role earlier in the 37-minute long Orchestral B***et production, which was blessed with thousands of Burners who came out to experience it with us at the Wing Portal art installation stage on Tuesday night at 2019.
Check out my previous post to see more of the B***et prior to this Fire Finale.
I hope to perform with Art Haus again next year if they hopefully return to produce another inspiring Orchestral B***et on La Playa 🔥

Gearing up to blast off to my 27th straight Burn and here's some unreleased footage from our Pyronauts Playaformance with CloZee at Camp Mystic's epic Wed night party at the last official Burning Man two years ago. Sooo good to see all these beautiful smiling faces in the Camp Mystic crowd from this angle! These are actually my smaller Fire Rope Poi, to see my larger ones check out my previous post from our 2016 Playaformance 🔥❤️🔥

Acro Dance/Adagio/Hand to Hand with my amazing Mongolian Contortionist performance partner Azzaya at Grace Cathedral for the San Francisco Movement Arts Festival 🤸🏻‍♀️
Azzaya was brand new to Acro then and we only started training together a few weeks before this performance. I'm super happy with how this turned out considering we went from Azzaya never flying Acro or Hand to Hand before to this choreographed performance in only 7 training sessions... especially since hand balancers often struggle transitioning to hand to hand handstands because they're used to balancing themselves rather than being balanced by the person flying them 🤸🏻‍♀️

Thanks to for a spontaneous tutorial on color correction (the two sources started out with drastically different color profiles)
And thanks to for pairing us up!
