Blackfire worked closely over several weeks with celebrity singer Claire Richards, of iconic pop group Steps, to help her master the art of fire. Together, they delivered a series of high-impact, choreographed fire and pyrotechnic performances—with added danger—live on national television.

Working within the constraints of a small studio space, limited set, and tight striking times, we meticulously planned each performance to ensure maximum impact and complete safety.

When Claire began, she was genuinely terrified of fire. We had to not only teach her how to safely handle and manipulate flames, but also help her gain the confidence to perform powerfully while surrounded by the blazing heat from fellow performers.

Claire delivered a spectacular and fearless transformation that lit up the screen, a true transformation.
