Hi Everyone,
It’s that time of year again – the sun sleeps longer and longer each night and we turn to other means to find light and warmth, and I am again privileged to be involved in an amazing collaborative fire performance. Solaris brings together fire performers from all over the Puget Sound as we fill the part of the Sun and light up the night.
What started as a single performance telling the story of the planets and seasons has grown this year to include even more amazing fire artists. Sculptures and additional performances will carry the light even further into the night. Please join us for one of two amazing evenings (or both!) that your whole family will enjoy. My group will help kick off the evening in the Orbis / Solaris performance at 4 and I highly suggest sticking around to see all of the performances - especially IGNITION – you will NOT be disappointed.

The Winter Solstice Fire Festival, a spectacular Winterfest premiere, radiates flames and fiery drama. Towering steel infernos will illuminate the darkness, along with dynamic movement and music – all to celebrate the Solstice return to light.
The spectacle begins at 4pm with a performance recognizing the Winter Solstice. Orbis and Solaris create a dynamic outdoor performing art installation that weaves together words, movement, music, fire performances and large luminaries to transform the Seattle Center International Fountain into a stunning celestial wonder.
At the conclusion of the performance, around 5pm, the sculptures in the open spaces around the International Fountain will be illuminated; and throughout the evening, fire performances by local artists will entertain as audiences take in the brilliant works.
This collection of fiery sculptures includes some dramatic, organic, inspired forms:
Fire-Pod
Created by Mark “Buphalo” Tomkiewicz.

Pnuema
An organic kinetic fire sculpture by San Francisco artist Charles A. Gadeken
Water Candle
