Fire Performance
Ora Uzel is a fire performer and object manipulation performer in the southern Driftless Area (Dubuque, IA). Her specialty tools include: poi, rope dart, swords (bokken), and contact staff.
Ora has been performing with fire since 2007, including private, public, professional, and informal performances and jams. She has performed with the Chicago Fire Tribe at the hugely popular Chicago Full Moon Jams, Burning Man (Black Rock City, NV), Burning Man Regional Lakes of Fire Conclave (Michigan), Burning Man Chicago Decompression events (Chicago & Michigan), Naper Settlement All Hallows Eve (Naperville, IL), Silver Beach Hotel (St. Joseph, MI), Kinetic Fire (Midwest), many events at Ronora Lodge & Retreat Center in Watervliet, MI, St. Joseph, Michigan, as well as private events in Chicago, Southwest Michigan, and the Driftless Area.
Ora first learned fire performance from members of the well-known fire troupe Pyrotechniq in Chicago. Ora was a founding member of the troupe Third Coast Fire in Southwest Michigan and now performs freelance at private events, always on the look out for other fire performers to work/play with.
Ora is no longer doing professional fire performance, however if you have a troupe and are looking for members, she would be willing to collaborate.
