Sage Robertson

Dancer

About the artist: Dancing with fire for more than 8 years, the embers of Sage's flames are kept in the sacred realm of her heart, released as an ancient dance for the healing of all. Through years of travel, the sprit of fire has helped her find her own truths - and the inspiration to ignite the imagination and passion of others. Over the years Sage has not only master her way around fire, but also experiments with innovative tools (glow props, wings) to push the boundaries of modern dance performance.

After blazing her trail throughout Mexico, Peru, and the US, Sage took her travels to New Zealand where she entered an international poi contests. Upon winning this contest the director was so touched by her entry that he invited her to film an interview and feature more of her fire dancing on a video, which can be obtained through the Home of Poi web site. This quickly gained her world recognition and the respect of many other fire dancers. Currently Sage has been applying her skills in directing, producing and choreographing shows for Sangré Del Sol, which consists of a live band and all original music written for their lovely fire dancers and stilt walkers. She also keeps herself very busy with her many students, who want to learn the exciting skill of fire dancing.

As the fire of her past sparks the flames of her future, Sage continues her self-discovery through working in-group settings to produce and expand the world of fantasy and imagination. With the integration of live music, visual projections, costumes, make-up, and props, her characters come alive as a spirit to heal and inspire others around the world.
