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?

Sun, April 27, 2008 - 11:21 AMOne of my favorites. Although for some strange reason I have a hard time getting fire marshals to give me permits for it.

Re: Fire performers sound off!
Sun, April 27, 2008 - 11:40 AMA fire cane, is just that a wicked up cane :-) I've been meaning to ask Bob the Builder or Stiltwalker Sean to make me a purty flaming hat. It's on my list of a million and one things to do... -

Re: Fire performers sound off!
Sun, April 27, 2008 - 3:57 PMI absolutely love hat and cane work. Its a dying art. Thats why I got excited.
I have a feeling if you have a cane, and want a hat, you'll like this video:

Re: Fire performers sound off!
Sun, April 27, 2008 - 12:56 PMSaint... bring it on with no worries of embarrassing yourself in front of the 'pros'. As Lars said, lots of the fire performers we love, and have grown accustomed to seeing at PDF (the 'pros') will be at other events this spring. This is the perfect opportunity for people who normally might shy away from performing to jump on board and bring their fire to PDF! Let's keep the fire burnin bright :-)

Re: Fire performers sound off!
Sun, April 27, 2008 - 3:52 PMFuck yeah! Bring on the fire sword!

If you feel like embarrassing yourself with poi, don't worry, I assure you I will embarrass myself more. I hate poi, and my poi hate me. Its mutual :)

Re: Fire performers sound off!
Sun, April 27, 2008 - 11:22 AMThats 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. -

Tue, April 29, 2008 - 8:05 AMhrm, ammre not good enough at something ha! :) now would you let me get away with saying that....? ~stomps her foot and smiles~

Re: Fire performers sound off!
Tue, April 29, 2008 - 9:38 AMNot being good enough? What the hoooo?
This does not compute. O.o
Grrrrrl, don't you know that you're a badass?
-
Re: Fire performers sound off!
Tue, April 29, 2008 - 11:55 AMJust 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. :)

Re: Fire performers sound off!
Fri, May 2, 2008 - 12:28 PMI'm sure you could hold a torch and drum with the other hand :)
Actually, I'm interested in any manipulation people plan to do as well. Contact jugglers who don't use fire are cool to. As are drummers.
I guess DJs count if they bring the record back to CATCH THE BREAK
