Morrigan Mercy
Co-Founder
Morrigan Mercy is Sage Fire’s second Co Founder! She has felt a total of two callings in life; the first being Advocacy, the second being Fire Arts…Morrigan was first exposed to fire performance while watching a display in Yellow Springs, Ohio. She then experienced her first fire flow while stationed on the West Coast of California. Afterwords, the fire in her never faded and her passion for advocacy led her to serving her community her in Dayton, Ohio… Since co-founding Sage Fire in 2019, she has grown to develop several fire manipulation skills including Fire Eating and Fire Breathing. She continues to build her vocabulary and skill set as a fire performer, utilizing several different skill props. Morrigan is devoted to Life, Art, and People. Her personal motto is “Lead with Love” and hopes to continue pursuing all her passions with the fire that burns inside!
Rosie Revolution
Licensed Fire Exhibitor
Who’s ready for a REVOLUTION? Introducing Rosie Revolution! She’s here to bring you the kind of dance party that’s so good it makes you want to take down the government!
This vintage babe has been obsessed with hula hoops and fire performing for the past decade, but now the obsession has taken on a whole new meaning! She’s on a mission to bring peace and love through music and dance. Catch her performing at events with Sage Fire and Solo around the Tristate area; spreading the message that it’s okay to be yourself- even if that means being loud and proud!
Dark Crystal
Introducing our next performer and fusion mistress, Dark Crystal! Crystal has been fire performing with Sage Fire for 2 years. Before fire dancing, her first love was bellydance; performing and teaching as a semi professional bellydancer for 10+ years! Bellydance was her first exposure to flow and improvisation, utilizing props such as veils, swords, and finger cymbals. This experience directly influences her stage presence as a fire performer; her go-to fire props often being fire palms, fire sword, and fire fans… Crystal’s experience and vocabulary within fire and flow arts continues to grow along with her enthusiasm to further explore the expansive realm of dance!
Luna Embers
Next up on our roster is Luna Embers! Luna has been fire performing for 4 total years, and has been slinging flames with our team for close to 2! Her performance experience prior to fire arts includes an impressive 13 years of cheerleading; 4 of which she performed competitively. This developed skillset allows her to effortlessly engage and entertain our live audiences.
Luna discovered flow arts midst the pandemic lockdown; like many of us desperately in need of an outlet during that time. Today, flow and fire arts continue to feed her mind, support her creative expression, and help her find and escape from the mundane. The flow and fire community have offered her camaraderie, inspiration, and opportunities for growth. She looks forward to further expanding her skills and wowing audiences with every opportunity she gets!
Flynt
Next up, spinning since his EDM days in 2011, is our poi aficionado Flynt! Originally attracted to the technical spinning style of “glow stringers”, Flynt inevitably ended up with LED and fire poi in his hands. His involvement in the EDM scene eventually diminished and without the community the desire to spin fire lost its appeal…
Fast forward to 2022, Flynt discovered Sage Fire while attending a local show. After introducing himself, the troupe took immediate interest in his abilities, and thus his passions reignited! Exploring poi from a whole new lens, Flynt is learning and discovering new tech and tricks every day! His current spinning style combines that of his original influence of the EDM community with that of the more modern poi community, incorporating more intricate and risky moves in with his flow.
A fresh face in the performance community, Flynt has collaborated with Sage Fire for a little over a year! We are thrilled to have him in the team and to see how his flow arts journey unfolds!
Lenora Lovecraft
Last but not least, Sage Fire’s very own apprentice turned performer, Lenora Lovecraft! After a brief period of training and involvement, Lenora is now a full fledged performer midst our crew! She is a nurturing soul who often puts others before herself, but flow and fire have become a passion and means of nurturing and empowering herself! She is excited to continue to deep dive and immerse herself in the art and community, and of course growing with her team and fire family, Sage Fire.
