Fire performers sound off!

topic posted Sat, April 26, 2008 - 4:40 PM by  Lars
I know that we will have more people than ever this time. And I also know that a lot of the fire performers that I know personally will be attending other events. This means a whole new mix of performers!

So I thought it would be interesting to get at least a partial idea of who is performing, and what fire tools you'll be using.

I'll be juggling torches, club swinging torches, spinning poi, breathing, and I also have a secret new fire tool which I want to keep a surprise.

What about you?

      Thats awesome. Trust me, you'll like it. :)

      I'd like to point out that I'm interested in anyone who is performing at any time during the event, not just the conclave.

        Thankeee. :)
        Ah, we were talking about having a NewJerseyRepresentsGroupSpin type thang in front of the stage one night.......we've not set a time yet or anything, and it was an informal agreement so I don't wanna speak for the whole group, but....yaa.

      Just stand next to me or go on after me, I'm "far less good enough", and so you will appear "more good enough" by comparison. Anything you can suck at I can suck at better. :)

      I never have any problem with embarrassing myself at PDF. Since you people are not paying me, I don't care that much what you think because it will not impact my livelihood like it would in paid performance.

      Also, since I do the SAME OLD SHIT over and over in performance which bores me to death, I find PDF refreshing because it is a place where I can feel free to try new things, or incredibly difficult things I'm still working on, and really not care at all if I screw up. Hell... I can do it NAKED if I feel like it.

      The worst that can happen is if someone is better than me, they can point out what I did wrong and help me to fix it.

      Basically PDF is one big spring practice session for me. The fact people are watching doesn't matter so much to me. Unless they're a safety, then I want them watching. :)
