They want to be where the people are, so dont hesitate to bring a mermaid to your next event!
Norsefyre Collaborators
Some of our favorite and most valuable members never step on stage. Here is a collection of our top tier photographers, event designers, costume makers, venue owners and more.
Norsefyre performers have a special passion for flames. It is in the name. With a roster of fire performers over a dozen deep with a mastery of 60+ props, Norsefyre is completely unmatched in their fire wielding expertise. Ranging from the biggest clouds of fire you've ever seen to small intimate sets of fire eating, our fire performers are eager to bring the heat to your festivities. The Norsefyre troupe takes fire safety to a new level that we believe should be the standard, employing hand trained safety personelle who have taken nationally accredited courses on fire protocol and who's only job is to maintain the safety of the venue, audience, and performers. These often-unsung heroes bring a whole new level of peace of mind so you can enjoy our explosive displays of flame.
If you are trying to take your entertainment to the next level, consider the Norsefyre aerial team. Our high flying acrobats glide through the air with a mixture of power and grace, adding a special element to any event. Our aerialists are trained in a variety of apparatus including lyra, silks, hammock, trapeze, net, umbrella, sphere, cube, and straps. We have our own portable rigging system adjustable by 4 inch increments up to 26 feet allowing us to add aerials to any need, indoors or out, without the expensive costs of structural engineers. With a team of trained riggers for set up and tear down, we handle all the legwork, all you need to do is sit back and enjoy the show.
Norsefyre has its own music entertainment team, called the Fyrefoxes. Drawing inspiration from the wild mischievious kitsune spirit as their mascot, our flow performers bring a next level dazzle to any stage they grace and love to dance the night away with their vast array of led or silk flowing props. Our foxes have been spotted at major music festivals across the country including Kosmic Kingdom Sonic Bloom, Rekinection, and Dancefestopia, and graced the stages of such major performers as Clozee, Deadmau5, Opiuo, and Desert Dwellers.
Renaissance Faires are some of the most wonderful events we get to be a part of. There is nothing quite like immersing yourself in the Rennie experience for the weekend and adding our fiery weaponry to the mix of entertainment for the festival. Norsefyre sets have been regular performers at faires such as Sleepy Hollow Renfaire, Renaissance Festival of Nebraska, And The Nebraska Renaissance Faire, and we dont have any intentions of stopping that streak. Come catch a Norsefyre fire and aerial set at your favorite faire, and play a round of mumbletypegs with us afterwards.
The only thing better then a circus performance is a circus performance with cool costumes. We love cosplay, as it gives us a chance to bring some of your (and our!) favorite characters to life with their magical skills to boot. Whether its intimating Fire Benders manipulating their element, or the high flying acrobatics of our Sailor Senshi, we love to add a brand new element of character development and entertainment to any con. Our roaming character groups are happy to stop for pictures and do a few parlor tricks, but the real magic can be found in our themed stage performances.
Sometimes you just need to go with a tried and true classic. Circus performance has survived the ultimate test of time, and thanks to some modern interests, has re-evolved into an ever changing every improving display of technical and acrobatic skils. Our traditional circus skills are top tier, many of our performers are classically academy trained in the entertaining art of cirque, and can cover your needs from ambient performance skills such as stilt walking, unicycle, juggling, to full stage aerial skils, partner acrobatics, or amazing acts of balance and coordination, Norsefyre has your traditional circus needs handled.
While Norsefyre appreciates a holiday show of any kind, Halloween will always hold a special place in our hearts. Any chance to get down and spooky is always most appreciated by our performers, and being able to throw down some flames to our favorite halloween music is always a crowd pleaser. We are able to use our stage performers to put on an impressive themed show sure to dazzle, and our roaming performers to scare and delight the crowd making their in line waits more enjoyable. Add one of our roaming stilt monsters to your haunt level to take your scare factor to new heights.
Norsefyre performers are suckers for some pretty lights. And nothing brings out more lights then the winter holiday season! There are some awesome light displays out there, but if you want to do something really next level and unique, our troupe of elf performers take time out of their busy toymaking schedules to show off some of their led toys created in the workshop. A 13 foot snowglobe filled with live performers is sure to make your festival stand out, but if you are dealing with tighter space we have smaller, more intimate globe performers as well. Whatever option you go with is sure to spread holiday cheer!
It takes a village to raise a circus. Or something like that. These are some of our all time favorite "behind the scenes" circus members. These arent sponsored positions, we aren't paid to recommend them, we just believe in their visions. These are are the people who make our shows possible, from photographers and costuming, to event design, without the efforts of these artistic souls we wouldn't be able to chase our dreams and bring our love of performance to you. So be sure to give them a big thank you and follow some of their other amazing projects.
Photographers
DV Captures
Duane has been a Norsefyre founding member since our very beginning, even though we haven't gotten him to use a prop yet. Because of his drive and creativity, we have both grown wildly in record time. It's been an honor developing along-side him and seeing what kind of new crazy ideas he can cook up. He has a strange fascination with puddles, but trust us, it always plays out better then you expected in the end.
Dreamsenses Photography
We first encountered Bryan through the Renaissance scene as regular patrons, and he began capturing our members hearts and photos well before they were performers. We are happy to count him among our Renfaire family, and when he isnt laying down drum beats for his dance troupe Danza Mystique, he can often be found capturing our flames.
Devin Rose Photos
In a strange ironic twist, Devin left California and moved to Nebraska to run away and join the circus. She found her spot behind the lens capturing the action and can be frequently found front and center of any heavy bass music event like the rave bae she is.
Timothy Hines
Timothy has been a Norsefyre superfan since out introduction to the Sleepy Hollow Renfaire. When not found in the combat pit with The Order of Wrath he can often be found in the black and white circus tent. Timothy is definitely his own biggest critic, which keeps his drive high and his skills constantly improving, but we happen to think he is already pretty fantastic.
Venues
Windy Goat Acres
Windy Goat Acres is home base for our Iowa based circus antics. It is an artistic oasis and we capitalize on any chance to visit. With a plethora of amazing animals and activities, you don't want to miss out on their wonderful intimate events, or book a private stay for yourself through hipcamp.

Mox has the ability to add amazing living art installations to any event. From cupcake waitresses to giant puppets, her magical creations bring a new element to any event.
Brittini Gottner
Only in the circus would our blind acrobat also be our in house seamstress. Brittini's creative skills are rivalled only by her performance skills. She may not be able to see but she certainly knows her way around a sewing machine and her crafting skills are certainly nothing to bat an eye at.
Event Design
Graphic Design
