Kira Schaffer is a Vancouver based performance artist, combining dance and physical theatre with circus skills such as fire performance, aerial acrobatics, and stilt dancing. She is the artistic director of Firebelly Performance Society, an interdisciplinary performance company which she founded in the Spring of 2000. Kira has performed in a variety of venues, including such events as the Vancouver International Dance Festival, the Alberta Centennial celebrations and the Winter Olympic closing ceremonies in Italy.
Kira is inspired by the process of transforming fear into pleasure and finding expressive possibilities within physically limited situations.
She loves sharing her passion for playing with fire and the thrill of dangling upside down by teaching both aerial dance and fire performance classes through the Roundhouse Community Centre.
