Dan
Worldwide, --
Male, 33
Lead artist, feature act and fire coach for Cirque Du Soleil. Recently for the ZAiA production in Macau from 2010 to 2012. Currently freelancing while between Cirque contracts.
I'm a fire dancer / fire manipulation specialist. I use flaming props such as fire swords, fire ropes, fire staffs, with special effects and pyrotechnics in a combination of dance and martial arts style movements. Ask me anything, and check my website... www.sparkfiredance.com
No special training. My discipline is a self taught one. When I started there wasn't even youtube videos to learn from, which I think gives you a special something, to have to learn and discover the hard way from scratch.
I was performing at festivals from my early teens, during and after finishing high school. Work wise most jobs I've had felt like a waste of time compared. I prefer to spend my hours developing something that expands myself, my learning, abilities, or buisness acumen... and often that only comes from running your own buisness.
I certainly had much more of a home base and stable life before performing full time though. I had to give up a lot to follow the performance path, it's a tough choice to make, but lifes full of those.
Still on the lookout for what to do next. The toughest question for any performer as it's not a great career to grow old with!

Worst, Chinese. Very unresponsive. Different social backgrounds.
Best, to be honest I love performing at festivals best, when there's some fat dubstep or drum n bass rockin out and I can go wild and the crowds there with me for every drop... Like this:

I believe there's currently 19 shows running. Nope, Guy doesn't have much to do with the shows anymore. Daniel Lamarre is president and CEO. The one time Guy came to see Zaia there just happened to be a world poker championship on in Macau at the same time :-) Fair enough I reckon. He's earned the right to enjoy his success.

Maintaining a stage worthy physique is part of the contract.
Obviosuly some characters or acts can get away with slipping more than others.
If your an aerial flyer you can get bet your partners will come down on you pretty quick if you start putting the pounds on.
