A Glimpse into The Fuel Girls Auditions: The Search for the Next Generation of Fire Performers!

If there’s one thing The Fuel Girls have always been known for, it’s our love for pyrotechnics, epic aerial acts & producing awe-inspiring fire performances (even if we do say so ourselves!). With over 20 years in the industry, we’ve wowed audiences worldwide with our fiery displays. Yet, even as we continue to set the stage on fire – both metaphorically and literally – our commitment to fresh new talent and innovation never wanes.

This year marked another exciting chapter in our story, as we hosted auditions in London, aiming to uncover the next wave of talent to join the iconic Fuel Girls brand. Our mission was to find performers who could match our passion, skill, and fearless attitude that’s required to take to the stages with us, around the globe. With over 300 applications pouring in, the anticipation and excitement was palpable! 

Imagine our dilemma – having to review so many talented applications brimming with talent and potential! It was a month-long process, as we dived deep into understanding the capabilities of each beautiful artist.

Over the past 3 months we have been sharing a schedule of socially distanced, but very much together, free online classes & tutorials on our Fuel Girls FACEBOOK LIVE. This has kept us SANE and connected throughout this weird lock-down period! It has also created a lot of fun as well as keeping us both fit AND stocked up on hugely sugary home made cakes. They do say it is all about balance!

We have given you online classes in fire choreography with Katie (obviously with unlit props, so no house fires here!!) to make-up tutorials with Charlotte. Cooking classes with Shireen, fitness classes with Von and Yoga with Kayla plus lots more. We have all joined each others classes and enjoyed seeing the faces of our gorgeous crew and YOU LOT, over this time of….. well how can we describe it…. lock down insanity!

We have now turned some of those public online classes private (via Zoom and some face to face), to allow you to learn 1-2-1 and work with us in a more in-depth way. We have focussed our classes on the things you asked for, such as choreographing with specific fire props or working on certain make-up looks –

As promised I’m back with the second instalment of the very exciting FUEL GIRLS BLOG! Last month we reached out to you guys to see what you wanted us to talk about, so this time we’re covering off that thing we actually do for a living – fire performance!

Now it’s not easy to answer a lot of the questions we get regarding our shows because quite frankly SO much goes into them behind the scenes it can be a little overwhelming to know where to start. Now, you also have to take into consideration the fact that we’ve all been doing this for at least ten years, so honestly, our girls make things that are technically REALLY hard, look crazy EASY! 

Truth be told, you can’t just ‘become a fuel girl’ overnight, our girls all have a set of really unique skills that a. take a really long time to learn and master, and b. often aren’t learnt – for example, stage presence and performance, you sort of have it- or you don’t, and that is really, in my opinion, the thing that sets our girls apart from ALL other performance groups out there. 

I thought I’d break down some of the most pertinent questions we get asked all the time,

Fuel Girls Auditions – meet our new Fuel Girls!

So, alot of you will know that we held an epic audition for a new Fuel Girl a few weeks ago at Proud Camden.

We had a huge response, with auditionees flying in from Paris and Los Angeles and travelling by train from as far as Scotland! Despite there being a storm and with trains cancelled, so many performers still made it and gave it their all! We had hoola hoop girls, we had fire archers, we had rope bondage, fire spinners, aerial straps, hoops and some pretty awesome fire dancing! A fantastic night, with a loud and VERY supportive audience and a few drinks to be had by all!

Firstly, thanks you SO much to everyone that made the effort to be there! We loved every single performance and wish we could take pretty much everyone into our group! BUT the final decision was to take not just one performer, but TWO and now we have expanded our group to include fire performer Jasmine and the multi-skilled Kasia! Two gorgeous girls who we cant WAIT to take on tour!

You can check out the profiles page on our website to find out more about the new Fuel Girls plus our existing girls!
