Come hear stories of how Saloni filled the empty seats at her table with eclectic souls across the globe!  Featuring; Saloni Singh

Traditional songs, flute, wisdom, and stories of the Coast Salish peoples. We don’t simply listen to the story… we are part of the story!

CEREMONIAL FIRE LIGHTING

CHIAROSCURO

Experience resonant song joining the ancient arts of forging and dance on Bellingham’s Waterfront. This is a return favorite of Fire & Story, a spectacle for your senses and imagination - prepare yourselves for the unexpected.

Wherever there is light there is shadow. Through shadow we come to know the light and the tenacious trap of duality. We invite you to dive into the well of your own being through fire, blacksmithing, music, lore, and dance. Blur the distinction between matter and spirit. "Chiaroscuro" is the space where nothing you do matters unless what you do matters.

​

Featuring:

• The Orcas Dance Collective (in three Acts)

• Fian Music, live scoring to performance (cemetery rock)

• Zackarya Leck Metal
