Rod Johnsen
Janesville, WI
Prepare for an electrifying experience at DEVIATE as we welcome back Rod Johnsen once again! With about two decades of fire spinning experience under his belt, Rod brings an unparalleled level of skill and passion to his performance.
Rod plans to light up the night with his awe-inspiring fire displays but that’s not all! He’s giving guests a chance to give it a whirl, but with a less dangerous medium- thank goodness! Join us for an illuminating night on September 28!
Tell us about you. I've been spinning fire for nearly 20 years. It brings me to a strange, quiet place, and I love watching people's reactions as I perform moves where the fire is close to or touching me.
What’s your background? How did you get into art? Give us a little history! I've been working with fire point for almost 20 years. I first saw it in the EDM scene and started with a friend in his yard.
How was your DEVIATE experience last year? Why did you want to come back again? Last year was an amazing experience for me. It was the first time that I ever performed at an event like this. Returning this year is an exciting opportunity, and I hope to put on a much better show this time.
Why should people come out to DEVIATE? The event is like nothing you have ever experienced before. Expect to be in awe! Even without leaving my booth last year I had a very memorable experience. I'm hoping to have an opportunity to walk around the event this year and get a chance to experience the whole event.
