KC Fringe "Spiral Dream" review by Rabid_Reviewer


My dreams are spiraling into heaven
Rating: 5

Spiral Dream
KC Fringe Festival

I've seen a lot of fire spinning.  I've got several friends who spin poi and I've watched them perform. I'm not an expert, and it's a skill I don't have, but I can appreciate how difficult it is to perform.

I am amazed at what a real expert can accomplish with fire, and this group is amazing. My main criticism of this show is that there is so much going on, it's hard to see it all in one sitting, and I want to see it all, because they are doing incredibly interesting things with fire.

This group goes into new and innovative directions, using fire to tell stories and develop relationships between characters.  They have gone beyond merely spinning and dancing to the music, which is where most of the fire work I have seen stops.

If you get the chance to see them work, it will definitely be worth it to make time for them in your schedule.

Be sure to bring your lawn chairs with you.  This has been my personal favorite show of the Fringe.
