“Vesta Fire’s performance at Finale 2010 was dynamic, engaging, and fun for kids and parents alike. Their unique skills brought the “wow” factor that no one wanted to miss! Thanks Vesta Fire for a great show!” Megan Noakes, Recreation Co-Ordinator, City of Nanaimo

Winter Solstice 2010- VestaFire is welcoming back the light with a fire show, 5:00 on Dec 21st, at the Unitarian hall on Townsite road, Nanaimo.

“Vesta Fire performed twice at our Solstice ritual on December 21, 2011.  They began by firedancing at the entrance to the building before the ritual began, setting a fun and magical atmosphere.  Those of us who were organizing inside could hear the excited buzz as people came through the door.  Right from the beginning attendees knew that something special was happening.

Vesta Fire also performed during the ritual.  Karina’s lighted staff work was stunning in the darkened room.  Her dance dramatically expressed the themes of the ritual–the turning cycles of the seasons, and the return of the light.

I was very impressed with Vesta Fire’s professionalism and attention to safety, as well as their skills in creative interpretation.  They arrived on time, followed cues given to them, and cleaned up afterwards.  Troupe Coordinator Karina talked with us about safety, and her recommendations  were very helpful.  We were confident that our event was safe as well as exciting.

I would certainly recommend Vesta Fire to anyone looking for a dramatic way to mark a special event. “

Sincerely,
Rev. Karen Fraser Gitlitz
First Unitarian Fellowship of Nanaimo
