"Goffee shaman and international fire theatre wizard conceals
the identity of David Eveleigh, a visionary cove who designed the 26 foot high
wicker man floating down the Wye at 10 o'clock at night with his head on fire...
.....a
thank-god-I-was-there moment." (Hay Festival finale). John Walsh,
The Independent, 7th June 1999.
I
choose to use fire as an elemental force, entwined
with Myths Legends, comedy and the surreal, celebrating
or reflecting our elemental nature and roots. I have
several shows off the hook. However, most of my fire
work is site specific or tailored for a specific
site or budget.
I am particularly interested in collaborations,
focusing festivals and bringing together performers,
musicians, dancers, circus artistes and professional
workshops for grand festival finales, or community
projects and private celebrations. See the Workshops
page.
Fire Sculpture
Classic & iconic images for all occasions
up to 9 meters tall.
All fire sculptures, fire giants, fire trails & fire
labyrinths are designed and constructed to light whatever the weather
and minimal or no scorching to the ground.

Fire is a wonderful mesmeric
focus for an event and exciting performing spaces for experienced
fire dancers or performers.
They are wonderful to process.
