Connor O'Rourke
Artist, Juggler, Entertainer, Speaker, Teacher, entrepreneur, fire wizard and an inspiration to all
Connor began his journey as a stage technician (with a love for poi) at a local dinner theater show, watching jugglers and acrobats work every day eventually inspired him to pick up juggling and learn the art of fire dance. Connor began entertaining in 2011 and soon quit his job as a stage tech and started the performance troupe Fire Circus with his partner (Monica). That first year they both quit their day jobs and put all of their energy into turning their art into business. Success came quickly that year and they were soon booked 6 days a week in the summer. He has trained and worked with record holding numbers jugglers and world renowned fire performers. Having grown up in Myrtle Beach SC (a town fueled by tourism) he had the advantage of knowing how to hold the interest of a crowd.
Connor is known to juggle or spin anything he can get his hands on and loves to teach and share what he has learned and knows. As lover of flow arts, he can be found spinning 2, 3 and 4 poi, juggling fire, hula hooping / hoop juggling, manipulating a rope dart, cracking his flaming bull whip, and doing acroyoga on fire. He has entertained at auditoriums, stadiums, music venues and on the street corner from coast to coast, and abroad. Major accomplishments include community building in his hometown, teaching kids to juggle, traveling the country and performing at burning man, vineyards of California, music venues and festivals across the US. His mission is to share the flow arts and movement arts with the world and bring more artist and perfromers together as a positive way to build community and grow the appreciation for this wonderful art form.
