Momo Maritz
Born and raised in Namibia, she fell in love with dancing in highschool when she experimented with hip-hop & ballroom. Since then, she’s been exploring all the different ways she can move her body, especially through intuitive dancing.
Momo started playing with fire in 2020 and she feels as if it’s always been part of her. Dancing with fire, for Momo, is like a ritual that represents transformation (burning away of what no longer resonates) and empowerment (being reborn and rising from the ashes like the phoenix).
She hopes to inspire that transformation in those who experience her dance too.
She likes to imagine dancing with the fire dragons in her performances and for her, the most important thing about a performance is having fun!
Cary Small
Cary first saw a burning rope dart a few years ago at a highlining festival. He was immediately captivated by the powerful grace of the performer and, for the next few days, Cary followed him around asking for tips and getting advice. He found some rope in his car, tied a rock to said rope and just spun it around a lot. The rope-dart became his constant companion, joining him on many an adventure as he learnt new tricks and improved his skill. Playing became a meditative practice and just something he did for fun. Although Cary has been spinning fire for himself for a few years, he has recently began performing, and he’s loving the new adventure it brings. For him, performing is a way to have fun while sharing his passion, and hopes to inspire his audience to follow their passion as well.
