SkyFire Arts Electrifies Audience at SHAZAM! Premiere
Meet the High-Voltage Performances Company that is Blowing Up the Entertainment Industry
LOS ANGELES, Mar. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Last night, in a tour de force of precision, power, and playfulness, SkyFire Arts delivered an electrifying Tesla coil show at the Hollywood red carpet premiere of the DC Comics movie Shazam!, the New Line Cinema movie distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.
Clad in full-body chain mail and wielding a staff that shoots lightning bolts over 6 feet long, SkyFire Arts founder Michael Ravenwood performed atop a Tesla coil that produces electrical arcs reaching temperatures as high as 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit — over half as hot as the surface of the sun. At once mesmerizing and terrifying, the performance showcased this exciting medium that combines the mythological power of lightning with martial arts, ritual theatre, and modern-day heroism.
"Our Tesla Lightning Throwing act was a natural match for the movie because it features a real-life demonstration of one of SHAZAM's superpowers that was previously thought to be pure fantasy", said Ravenwood, who has led a team of professional dancers in refining the art of Tesla coil performance over the past decade. "It shows audiences how we can harness the elemental forces of nature, and we hope it expands their ideas of what is humanly possible."
"Not only does this make for epic entertainment, it exposes people to the work of Nikola Tesla and hopefully leads them to discover the larger vision of our company as well. Tesla was electrifying himself in the 1900s, creating unbelievable performances to draw people to his work. He also said clearly that he wanted to see his inventions make the world a better place for all humanity. In a similar way, we are using our performances to feature all manner of technologies involved in creating regenerative culture for the benefit of all." Ravenwood said.
In addition to creating one-of-a-kind shows on a grand scale, SkyFire Arts work includes outreach and education to spark interest in sustainable energy & ecological lifestyle practices. SkyFire Arts Academy's program focuses on helping people become aware of & intentional about their use of energy in all its forms.
SkyFire Arts has performed at big-ticket public and exclusive private events around the world. They are now accepting bookings for the summer 2019 season and beyond.
