I’m a bit late in posting this, as our first performance was last night (oops) but we have another one tonight, and its going to be great! If you’re in the Philadelphia area, come on down and support us! The show starts at 9 and runs about an hour and a half. There are some chairs, but bringing blankets or lawn chairs is a good idea, too.
Here’s the flier, and the write-up about the show from the lovely Scorch ladies. (New Scorch website here. There’s some video of the first show on there, too!)
“Our debut performance in Philadelphia as part of the Philly Fringe Festival will be premiered at the Piazza in Northern Liberties for TWO NIGHTS – September 10th and 11th starting at 9 pm!
The show is free but we will be collecting donations and selling merch and other goodies! Suggested donation is $10-15. (Most other Fringe shows are at least $10 to put it in perspective.) Please bring blankets/chairs and all your friends.
SCORCH is an exclusively feminine fire show presenting a series of vignettes set to a diverse selection of music. Each act showcases a unique story within carefully crafted choreography and creative movement and flow, fusing the art of fire performance with ballet, acrobatics, circus hooping, tribal bellydance and capoeira. Individual pieces are designed to flow together, circling around a tribal goddess theme and combining ideas of a darker, circus style gothic opera with a touch of classic burlesque. We feature world-renowned performers, artists, teachers, musicians, yogis and classically
trained dancers.
In addition to the upcoming Philly Fringe performances, the Scorch Fire Show debuted at the PEX Summer Festival in July 2010 and has performed at festivals and events across the East Coast this summer.
Promising to torch the world with elegance and grace, the lovely ladies of Scorch will illuminate the stage and fascinate any audience with a fierce yet delicate mastery of tools, an unrelenting command of fire, and a powerful interpretation of body, dance, and sultry seduction.”
