Book The Great Medicine Show
A festival stage show: bass music, fire, dance and story
Music, movement, storytelling and fire as one developed production, built for main stages and the nights a festival wants people to remember.
What the full production is
The full Great Medicine Show is not a DJ with dancers added. It is a story told in music and movement: it opens with sound bowls and gongs, builds through belly dance, winged dancers and aerial, peaks with fire, and closes with the whole cast on stage. The music is original, from more than 100 songs The Great Medicine Show has released, bass music woven with world instruments and voice.

Built to fit the stage
The production scales. A smaller stage might get the DJ with four dancers and fire. A main stage gets the full cast of up to 12. Fire sets are timed into the set, usually three of 15 minutes outdoors. We plug into the festival's sound system and work with the stage manager on load in, fire placement and timing.
Add a workshop
Jordan Larsen, the producer behind The Great Medicine Show, teaches music production and has taught at the High Vibe Music Retreat and the Vibes Dojo production immersion. Festivals often pair the stage show with a daytime workshop, which makes the booking worth more to both sides.
Booking it
Send the festival, the dates, the stage and the slot. We reply with the version of the show that fits and a quote. We are based in Austin and travel for festivals across the US and beyond, with travel billed at cost. For single disciplines see fire performers and belly dancers.
