I'm a queer, poi-specialist flow artist working in fire and LED — body-tracing patterns, dual poi, and double-sided meteor, moving fluidly between feminine and masculine performance styles. Available for events across the Southwest this winter.
Hi, I'm Karma "Cinderbloom" Costa — a queer flow artist specializing in poi, with four years spinning fire and LED across the country. My performance style moves fluidly between feminine and masculine energy, so the same booking can open with a soft, sensual hoop set and close with a hard-hitting, high-impact meteor poi finale — whatever your event calls for.
Off poi, I also work fire fans and staff, and I'm equally at home holding a room as the main act or working the crowd with a low-key ambient set that keeps a party moving without stealing focus from it. Based on the road in a converted camper van, currently routing through the Southwest for the winter and open to bookings along the way — festivals, private events, restaurants and bars, and markets.
Rates fall in line with current solo fire-performer averages ($250–$450 for 20–30 minute sets). Travel is included within 30 miles of my current route location — beyond that, a mileage fee applies. All bookings require a signed safety waiver and a 50% deposit to hold the date; fire sets require adequate outdoor space and a water/extinguisher point on site.
Liability insurance is arranged for every booked event — if your venue requires a certificate of insurance, let me know when you book and I'll have it in place ahead of the date.
Every fire set runs with proper fuel handling, a dedicated safety kit, and a clear-space buffer between performer and guests — the same standards used at the fire circles and retreats I train and perform at.
I'm early in taking on booked events through this site, so client reviews are still coming in — in the meantime, follow along on Instagram (@karma_pdx / @costa_pdx) to see recent performances and training.
Living and traveling in a converted camper van, currently routing through Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Flexible on dates and open to extending a stay for the right booking or festival slot — reach out with your event location and I'll confirm if it's on the route.
A clear radius of about 12×12 feet, further from guests and anything flammable for fire sets. Indoor fire performances need at least 16–18 ft ceilings — LED sets work in tighter indoor spaces with no fire restrictions.
LED sets can move indoors with enough ceiling height. For fire sets that can't be safely relocated, we'll talk through rescheduling or a full LED substitution ahead of the date.
Yes — sets are cued to a track list I bring, or I can sync to your event's existing DJ/sound setup if you'd prefer.
A 50% deposit holds your date, with the balance due at the event. Reach out directly if your event date changes — I'll work with you on rescheduling where possible.
