Jennifer Graham (Starfire)

Summary

Passionate performer of aerial lyra hoop. I own an aerial rig I can transport to set up at events and venues.

I have been training at an aerial studio near home for nearly 5 years and I still train there several times a week.

I perform ambient or choreographed routines. I have performed at clubs, private parties, Six Flags over Texas, Spring Break (2023) , New Years Eve 2023 at Shreveport Convention Center and most recently I was the resident aerialist at Avalon Renaissance Faire in Kilgore Texas. It is my joy to perform the art of aerial dance whenever I can.

I am also a playful and at times, a seductive fire performer. I have been the resident fire eater at a club located in Dallas since February 2023. I also work with fans, dragon staff and contact staff. As fire is my secondary art, I continue to take workshops and lessons from other performers as often as I can. I was contracted with Six Flags Over Texas as an angle grinder specialty act in the 2023 Fright Fest production of Dr. H.H. Holmes Freakshow. I am hopeful I can reclaim that role in the 2024 season if the show runs again.

Aerialist Performer

Avalon Faire
03.2024 - 04.2024
  • I was the resident aerialist, dressed as a fairy or fay, named Lady Starfire, at a seasonal renaissance festival the town holds each year. I performed in the "high meadow" as my character 4 times a day for the 5 weekends the festival ran. I really enjoyed the playful banter with the children at the festival. And the name Starfire ended up sticking and is now the performer name I prefer to use.

Avalon Faire After Dark

Avalon After Dark. This was an after dark event held at the renaissance festival I was performing aerial at during the day. This evening event was a fire performance and the first time I had performed live with lit torches attached to my lyra hoop combining both my love of aerial and fire arts.

Grinder Girl

Was contracted and I performed daily during the parks "Fright Fest" season. I was part of the cast of the musical "DR. H.H. Holmes Freakshow" The show ran daily several times a day during the length of the Halloween season. It was an Indoor theatre show in front of huge audiences at times. There was a bit of acting involved, but the focus was angle grinding. which was performed on cue, safely, a couple times during each show. During the entire run I never missed a show nor had an injury to myself or another. I became fast friends with some of the cast and other specialty acts and would love to return to perform this show again if it runs in the 2024 season.
