About
Dragon Mill is a fire performer for hire in Adelaide, SA.
Dragon Mill runs the biggest fire shows in the country, and they've done it everywhere from backyards to Olympic stadiums. A roster of skilled fire artists means the act scales: a solo ambient set, a choreographed duo, a four performer stage show, or The RITUAL, a thirty minute feature with a nine person cast. The equipment list runs to fire sword, fire fans, hoop, staff, dragon staff, rope dart and poi, with sparkle and explosive effects, music and costuming themed to your event. A Fire Safety Technician backs every performance. Performers arrive forty minutes early. They need a backstage area, a clear performance space four metres away from anything flammable including overhead, and indoors, smoke alarms isolated during the show and for fifteen minutes after. All performers carry public liability insurance, and outdoor performances during fire ban season need a Schedule 9 permit.
Watch
The show
You get a clean, properly run fire show. Not a nervous one. The performers work with fire sword, fans, hoop, staff, dragon staff, rope dart and poi, and there's sparkle and explosive effects on top if the moment calls for something bigger. Music and costuming get themed to your event rather than pulled off a shelf, so a corporate launch and a wedding don't end up looking like the same show. A Fire Safety Technician is there for every performance, which is the part that lets everyone else relax and watch. And if what you have in mind sits outside the usual formats, say so in the enquiry and it can be built.
On the day
Performers arrive forty minutes ahead of show time to set up. They need a backstage area of at least two by four metres. It doesn't have to be a marked room, just somewhere out of sight and not on a main walkway. The performance area needs to be a minimum of three by four metres, with four metres clear of anything flammable, and that includes overhead. Indoors, smoke alarms have to be isolated for the show and for fifteen minutes afterwards so the last of the haze can clear.
Performance options
Ambient fire performance runs ten to fifteen minutes solo, or twenty minutes as a duo, and it's the option for a crowd that's mingling rather than seated. The choreographed stage shows are tighter and built to be watched: seven to ten minutes solo, fifteen as a duo, or a four performer show running twenty to thirty minutes. Then there's The RITUAL, a thirty minute feature with a nine person cast, which is the one you book when the fire show is the reason people came. Sparkle and explosive effects can be added to any of them.
