Classically trained ballet
dancers share the stage with fire performers,
while the aerial dancers soar in the industrial
vastness of The Crucible’s 56,000 square
foot studio. Capulets and Montagues stage
their brawls with urban dance and Capoeira
in explosive fight scenes against a backdrop
of flaming sculptures.
Performers include
an amazing cast of dancers and performers that
reflects the diversity of the Bay Area’s
arts community, from classically trained ballet
dancers to outrageous fire performers, including
Flyaway
Productions, Flavor
Group, Wushu
West, and The Crucible’s
blacksmiths, metal casters, and glassworkers.
The legendary tale of star-crossed lovers is
set to the passionate and powerful score of
Sergei Prokofiev.
Proceeds benefit The
Crucible’s arts education programs.
The final performance will be a fundraising
Grand Gala with
champagne reception.
Saturday, January 20 - On
the final night of the Fire Ballet, we will
celebrate with a Grand Gala Finale. Our industrial
studio space will be transformed into an enchanted
hall filled with flaming sculptures, art demonstrations,
fire performers, musicians, and aerialists.
Join us for fiery foods and fine wines during
our pre-performance red-carpet reception.
After the performance, mix and mingle with
Crucible artists and Fire Ballet dancers during
a champagne reception.
