Fire and Flow performances by Nocturnal Arts at all-night drum circles
Nocturnal Arts is an eclectic family of friends who call the heart of Ohio home. We have all been growing, learning and inspiring each other for the past couple of years and the fun never stops expanding. We want the audience to be captivated by the joy we feel and project when we play with our props and LED toys. We are excited to share our love of sacred geometry, flow, character, dance and add the sacred element: FIRE! Yes, we are insured.
