Fire Performers PLEASE READ - Wed. Town Hall Meeting

2007-12-14T04:14:23Z

Hello!
please repost this to any fire performers you know, There are some important
issues facing the fire community, and we need to get the word out quick, and
there is an important Town Hall meeting wednesday.

In addition, there is a new discussion list for fire performers to discuss tips,
community interests, events, and more at:

http://www.curiousjosh.com/lafire

please sign up, more information about the list is below.

----
*Subject*: Town Hall Meeting: A Call to Arms for all Los Angeles Based Fire
Artists

*Where*: Smash Labs, 1714 Albion St, Los Angeles, CA 90031 323-227-6274

*When*: Doors open at 7pm Meeting begins at 8pm

*Who*: All members of the Los Angeles Based Fire Arts Community

*Why*: During recent interactions with Los Angeles County and State _Fire
Marshalls <http://www.film.ca.gov/LocationResources/FilmSafety.html>_we have
learned that they are in the process of designing a set of safety standards
and guidelines in an effort to standardize safety requirements within our
industry. These safety guidelines are to be implemented in the first
quarter of 2008.

We have the great fortune that our local county Fire Marshalls have
offered to allow us participate in the design of these standards.
Organizations such as the Safety Advisory for Fire and FX in Entertainment
(SAFFE)and members of the Pyrotechnics community have offered to provide
guidance or advice in the different methods of organizing ourselves and
interfacing with regulatory and enforcement entities such as the Fire
Department.

This *_Wednesday, December 12, 2007_* a Town Hall Meeting has been called to
inform the community and discuss the formation an organization comprised of
members representing the interests of the Los Angeles fire community.

******It is time for us all to come together, as a community - to openly
create our own guidelines that address issues, such as safety, performance
standards, etc. It is of the utmost importance that we collectively decide
this before it is decided for us*****

In Addition, there is a new e-mail discussion list for
fire artists and people who are interested in fire performance in the Los
Angeles area. This list can be joined by following this link:

http://www.curiousjosh.com/lafire

This list is an opportunity for us to stay in touch as a community, and
discuss a number of pressing issues that are affecting the Los Angeles fire
community such as the upcoming implementation of safety regulations,
standards, and restrictions governing our industry.

The LA Fire mailing list will be a great place to:
discuss issues affecting the fire community
share fire related tips and techniques
communicate about fire events in the LA area
and more

Please spread the word by continuing to forward this to fire performers who
are in Los Angeles, or who visit Los Angeles and perform with fire. If we
fail in this initiative then viewpoints such as "Poi is the most dangerous
tool in your arsenal" or the potential banning of poi spinning in the
direction of the audience may become a reality.

Troupes & Tool Manufacturers that have involvement in this initiative have
included: CuriousJosh, Fire Drums, Fire Groove, Los Angeles Fire Effects (LAFX),
Machina
Candeo, Mutaytor, Phoenix Projekt, Pyrophernalia / Om Fire, Sirena
Serpentina, Trick Concepts, & Volcano Flux.

The "back" door is a big roll door in the last parking lot on the North side
of Main just before the train tracks - look for the La Mano Press sign. If
it's full, there is an empty lot directly across the street on the South
side of Main Street, or feel free to park on Main or Albion and come in the
front. *main thing to remember is if you've gone over the tracks, you've
passed Albion which is a TINY street and easy to miss.

Hula Hooping With Fire?

2007-10-24T07:20:51Z

Okay, so I'm a newbie, and Im sure it'll show...hello everyone! :)

Anyways, I'm really interested in learning how to spin fire, but more specifically, hula hoop. I have friends in Santa Barbara who spin fire, but I haven't met anyone yet who hula hoops. :( So i don't really know where to start.

If anyone has any suggestions/tips that could lead me in the right way that would be awesome!

^_^

So...pleasure to meet you all...I'm Gypsy.

Anyone Leaving for the Burn on Thurs., 8/30? Have Tick?

2007-08-20T07:41:57Z

Hello, Fellow Burners!,

I used to live in Ventura and am now in L.A. I'm looking for a ride with some groovy people who will be leaving on Thursday, 8/30 from Ventura then leaving from the playa on Sunday, 9/2, returning to Ventura by sometime Monday, 9/3. I'll make my own way to and from Ventura from the L.A. area, where I live. God, I miss Ventura! I also recently sold my $200 ticket because I changed my mind about going but guess what? I've changed it back again. You know how that goes. So I'm also looking for a ticket, pref. for $200.

If anyone has a ticket and/or needs a rider who is also a responsible, licensed driver who has driven an RV but can only squeeeze in a quickie weekend burn this year, I'm your gal! This will be my seventh burn, if I make it, so I'm a pro at this but always open to learning/experiencing something new.

If you're interested, hit me on my tribe page.

Burning Blessings,
-MamaSan

Meditation is a discipline that calms the mind and awakens the heart.
Different cultures throughout history have developed a myriad of forms and
techniques. This workshop will create a space where all practitioners
will be welcome to come and sit together in the beauty and silence of
nature. This is also a great opportunity for those who are curious about
meditation but have never had the chance to experience this simple and
transformative practice firsthand. Brief instruction will be given at the
beginning and after we sit, there will be an open discussion on
incorporating a meditation practice into daily life.

Matthew Smith has been studying and practicing meditation for more than a
decade and has received teachings from the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh,
Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, Ram Dass, Roshi Bernie Glassman and Roshi Seisen
Saunders.

experiment with the power and possibilities of synergy...with a poetic
flavor. Playfully accessible for beginners and advanced wordsmiths. Come

Contact Improvisation with Avo Soltes
Contact improvisation is the extemporaneous interaction between one or
more people which can include contact in both the physical and emotional
sense. it explores the connection of the mind and soul to the body, as
well as its relationship to others and the surrounding space. Awareness of
one’s self and others in the space, the sharing of weight (both giving and
accepting), counterbalance, and imagination are among the many varied
elements.

Awaken the Goddess with Ardas
Think back to a time before you can remember, when Wild Women joined in
communion to sing, dance, stretch, breathe and be. Let your true Goddess
shine as you are led through a series of dance and yoga based exercises to
spin the Chakras and raise the kundalini. Home Made Raw Organic Chocolate
Love served during class

Monkey Chant with Gamelan X
Gamelan X works with the vocal interlocking rhythms and physicality of
Balinese Monkey Chant, or Kecak (pronounced KETjak). This guided chant
experience is about building Community energy and unity through the
interweaving of our voices. You will experience a noticeable increase of
physical energy, an elevated sense of joy, and most likely, you'll laugh a
great deal while sharing this time with new and renewed friends. Go
deeper into holding your own voice strongly while being conscious of the
voices of others in community.

Living our light, allowing our shadow with Jesse Lombardi
Once there is light there is shadow. Shadow defines light. We are all
aspiring to live a Spiritual life. By mere karma, our human life expresses
itself through the shadow. Many times we judge our shadow, and reprimand
ourselves for the need to work out this wounded shadow essence. This
workshop will clarify the truth, that they are one and the same. The
spirit can only experience it's human incarnation through the essence of
light and dark via the shadow. The workshop is a fusion of yoga, breath,
meditation, and dance movement, laced with creative empowerment teachings.

Burners and Spinners

2006-12-05T18:25:57Z

Hi. My name is Ramsay de Give. I am student at the Brooks Institute of Photography in Ventura, Calif. Currently, I am taking an environmental portrait class. Fire spinning immediately stuck me as very intriguing and visually interesting -- especially since my next photo is to be lit using alternative light sources. I’m interested in shooting a portrait of a person, or group spinning. If you're around this evening, and are spinning, get in touch with me. The entire shoot would probably only take half an hour, and you'd leave with some nice images to use for yourself. Please feel free to contact me if there are any questions.

I look forward to hearing for you,

Got this in my inbox.

Hi Sparkles

I'm a casting producer for ABC TV. We're researching Burners in hopes of featuring a family of Burners on our primetime reality show WIFE SWAP. I'm wondering if you'd consider posting my search and sharing it with your tribe.

All families featured on the show receive a $20,000 honorarium. If you refer a family that we feature on the show you receive $1,000.

Casting immediately.

Thanks,

Intro to WindDance

2006-06-15T19:46:57Z

WindDance will be a freaky, funky, dance-till-u-drop, weekend-long campout, @ the Woodlands in Mendocino.
Presented by eCo-sound-systems-productions (+ friends), and hopefully (if everything works out logistically and financially)...
full of great music and funky people like I and I, U, and So, and the rest of this crazy state we call 'Cali' !

It is based on the many festivals that I go to...Raindance (2x)...Earthdance (2x)...ROTR (9x) ......Sierra Nevada World Music Fest....the REAL GOODS PARTY, and the many other camps that already go on @ the woodlands.

EXCEPT THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT... in that it will be organised by someone w/ a degree in FORESTRY & NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT and a focus in SUSTAINABLE DESIGN) !!!

MY intention is to:
REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE...COMPOST, and then RECYCLE some more !
use solar powar (where feasible...near the north coast) !
alt. fuels (e.g. biodiesel) !
Minimize cars, parking, traffic, air pollution, water pollution (through runoff/erosion and leaky vehicles) !

Looking for fire in all the wrong places?

2006-05-13T17:57:03Z

I thought I had looked under all the rocks, and behind all the trees and still no firespinners! Then it came to me....Check tribe....who woulda guessed...

Anyway long story short, im a spinner from up north, (north bay, hour up from frisco) and im down in the area for a few days visiting with my mom! I was hoping to maybe get in touch with some of the local talent and drop by to observe the style. Ive travelled near and far and seen the differences in styles of spinning, and now i think i saw what everyone down here on the central coast is up to! and hey if anyone down here has a fire meteor id love to get a chance to play with it!

Well its 5 on saturday now, im here till tuesday and im in Cambria, hope i hear from someone soon! im dying to light my fire!

1/29/06: Lunar New Year Beach Burn

2006-01-18T05:09:46Z

The Year of the Dog starts on Sunday, January 29th. Celebrate the beginning of 4703 with fire on the beach! In keeping with the astronomical significance of the date, "Dogstar" an execution of flammable artwork, will be presented by K'Buster Friendly. This pyrosphere will be set on fire at 8:00 on Sunday night, January 29th, at Dockweiller State Beach, so don't be late!

The LA Burner Community Lunar New Year Burning Burner Burn (LABCLNYBBB), will also feature:

- Bring-your-own Christmas Tree 'Recycling'
- Interactive Participatory Stonehaven Fir balls courtesy of Burn LA
- Burner Buzzword Bingo hosted by world famous DJ 2DantzAreaz

Parking costs $5 (yes, five dollars). The beach and parking lot officially close at 10 p.m., though during winter months this is informally extended. There is community (street) parking on PCH and foot access to the beach, but legal parking ends at 10 p.m. Alcoholic beverages are prohibited on this State Beach.

Bring FIREWOOD (not much of a beach burn without fire, right?), something (or someone) to sit on, smore fixins, and your various LA Burner Community (LABC) related accessories. Those who drum and those who spin fire are invited to bring their gear. Tipping your local flammable art perpetrators is encouraged!

Please mark your calenders and post any questions that you may have about the beach burn here.

Guaranteed to add some color and cheer to your life for at least 15 minutes, the Christmas tree-like sculpture will be set on fire at 8:00 on Sunday night, December 11th, at Dockweiller State Beach.

The LA Burner Community Non-Denominational Christmas-Related Burning Burner Burn, (LABCNCRBBB), will also feature:

-Non-denominational politically-correct 'Winter Occasion' carols.
-Stonehaven Fireballs courtesy of Burn LA

This Weekend: Photoshoot of You Spinning Poi

2005-08-19T08:09:44Z

I want to take photos of someone spinning fire using double exposure. Ideally, the final picture will show your face clearly and the fire spinning around it; be experienced and have control of the poi and know fire safety.

It will be done in both color and black&white 4x5 format (large negatives). We will probably shoot about 10 frames with 2 exposures for each frame, so have a bit of patience and be able to take direction. This is an experiment for me, but we’ll have fun and hope for a good end product. Sign a model release and I’ll give you prints of the best and the rights to use them.

I don’t have a location in mind so hopefully you have an idea where fire is allowed. I’m in Santa Barbara--can travel a bit. This weekend is ideal but not mandatary. If you interested please let me know as soon as possible.

Weekly SB practice...

2005-06-24T21:50:13Z

Christi and I are interested in starting a weekly poi, staff, juggling, whatever practice session here in SB. I'm more than willing to teach poi, learn staff/chucks/whatever, and was hoping there would be likeminded people up for learning.

I need suggestions for a name (of the tribe, and the event), and a date and a time that works. I was thinking sunday afternoons, or a weekday afternoon (not wednesday/friday, i consistantly work those days) would work as well i suppose. open to suggestions, and even if you don't have any, respond if you're interested in attending, i don't want to get this started if nobody wants to come...

if you don't have equipment, no worries, i'll make extra sets.

BURNING MAN: LOS ANGELES REGION

L.A. BURNING MAN REGIONAL MEMORIAL DAY EVENT

   "ALCHEMY"

Saturday May 28th, 29th, and 30th.

al-che-my

    1: the speculative philosophy whose aims are the transmutation of the base metals into gold, the discovery of a universal cure for diseases, and the discovery of a means of indefinitely prolonging life.

    2: the way two individuals relate to each other; "a mysterious alchemy brought them together"

Spend a long weekend turning lead into gold, strangers into friends, freaks into lovers, dreams into realities.

Theme camps, Black Rock Rangers and volunteers from all of Southern California will join together to create a well prepared event where you can camp, enjoy music, create art, surprise and delight each other with your talent, and rejuvenate your spirit.

There will be multiple areas for music, performance, poetry, and for art.

You dream it... You do it!

We will have quiet time from 5am through 10 am.

Please spread the word!

This will be a BM community event, practicing the "Leave No Trace" ethos, which will take place at the incredible outdoor location used for last year's "Burn on the 4th of July" LABM regional event:

Click here to see the location of the event.

new moon beach gathering in SB?

2005-04-13T04:01:17Z

?????
how bout [since i generally got plans on full moon nights already and we don't need moonlight when we got our own damn fire]

we decide on a particular super secret undisclosed location to gather and play with fire? [on the night of a new moon]

EVERYBODY has been yappin about wanting to get together and play

NOBODY seems to have a sufficient private location. especially since there are suddenly eleventy-seven fire freaks in this town.

there ARE locations that could probably work

so lets do this.

OBVIOUSLY we would not want to discuss any severely pertinent details out here in public. so write me a note and if there is enough interest and some semblance of concensus i will send out info to those i know.

if i don't know you then find someone that can vouch for you.

then i will have to trust that they will use their wisdom to tell the people that they KNOW. and it could be good.

NOT trying to be difficult. just use a little common sense here peeps.

or people could be stoopid and we can just keep on keepin on just biiitchin and moaning about how there's nowhere for us all to meet up and spin.

so send me your email address and suggestions on location and i will respond if there are enough nibbles to make this happen.

FireDrums Gathering April 15-17

2005-03-06T08:40:01Z

Friday, April 15 2005 - Sunday, April 17 2005
Red White & Blue Beach near Sana Cruz
http://firedrums.tribe.net/

A fire arts and hand drummers gathering.
This is not a 'festival' nor is it a BurningMan sponsored event.
This is just a casual fun weekend where we can meet new and reunite with old friends of the fire arts and drumming community.
For those who haven't yet experienced RW&B, it's a beautiful secluded beach with camping amenities near Santa Cruz that is fire friendly.

Although we'll certainly be dancing and playing with our friends, please be aware that this is NOT A RAVE or dance party.
We hope to have a DJ 'part' of the time but RW&B is under new management & we're still feelin things out.

Please DO NOT FORWARD this to lists out side 'our' community.
Please DO forward this to our fire friends and drummers and we'll see you mid April for a very special weekend.

Please join the FireDrums tribe http://firedrums.tribe.net/ and post questions, suggestions, ride share info and anything else there.

And of course this is a LEAVE NO TRACE GATHERING!

6 miles north of Santa Cruz on Hwy 1 at Scaroni Rd.

I can't decide, help me please! March gathering?

2005-03-04T06:32:19Z

hi all. A number of factors have led me to question if there should be a gathering this month (friday, march 4th) or if it should be postponed again til april.
factors:
Lack of interest from other spinners
I have a sprained ankle
Cold wet weather
Location (beach) may be washed out and unusable

The gathering would be downtown Ventura on the beach by the pier, moonlight, stars, fire dancers, audience. Free and fun. Anyone interested or definately not interested post to this thread, I'll tally up the votes on thursday and decide whether it's worth the time or if it will be postponed to start again in April. Thanks for the help.

~Tina

North/Central/South American Fire Database... Please Contribute

2005-02-20T18:00:15Z

My handle is agni, my name is scott, our troop name is agnisattva(agni is sanskrit for fire, sattva is sanskrit for essence). I spin staves, poi, whip, juggle a little and use an array of other as yet unnamed implements created in the metal shop I am working in. I travel alot and spin whenever/wherever I can. as of this moment I am planning an open ended fire tour into central/south america in an old school bus with 3 other fire junkies. One of my own projects is organizing a database of the u.s. and north/central/south america which will allow an individual to research the laws and requirements of each region, and provide contact information for other artists, officials, events, organizations, supplies, etc...

Any suggestions to make it more benificial to the community is appreciated.
Any information you would like to contribute would also be appreciated.

I would like to eventually teach classes on the art, sciences, history and spirituality of fire dancing as I believe they all play a large part in the connection between the human conscience/subconscience and the use of fire as a form of individual expression/reflection.
Until next time,
May all your burns inspire awe in yourself.

Fire for Charlie

2005-01-25T04:17:50Z

Hey guys I've been talking with Daina over at Reds and she is ok with having us do some fire at reds to get folks to come donate for charlies memorial fund. We are looking at doing it around dark this Saturday. All the money made by fire folks will be going to "The Charlie Womack Memorial Fund". Please come and please donate even 5 bucks is cool. Lets give Charlie what he deserves.

New to the area.....

2005-01-25T04:14:42Z

I'm looking for a frequent spinning session in the SB area. I already found that Leadbedder (Leadbetter; I'm not sure?) has all bamboo drift wood; which was good after yoga on the beach and studying, to sping some staff, and play around with Aikiod katta's. I was just up in ~he Bay for 3.5 years, and had acces to a couple weekly events, such as: fire in The Shakespear Gardens on Tuesday nights, and Spinjam @ 136 Taylor on Thursday nights (a very fun indoor, with black light, UV, and lighttoys, with good family DJ's on the 1's & 2's. Looking for a regular indoor/outdoor yoga spinning session with musica galore. If there isn't one, I'd love to start one. Anyone got a favorite beach and sound system with generator? Looking to find a local weekly, or at least, start one; this would be a good thing.

P.S. - Anyone know if snattlerakes are really common to find among drift bamboo? What about good supply on 2-3" Kevlar rolls? I'll later forward a link to a buddy's schtuff, in which he took from hobby, to spinning toy company. Be Well!

Most Synergetically,

Hey there new family, I am currently moving to the 805 and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Kandice Bishop and I have had the honor of playing with one of our sacred elements for over four years now...and fire has transformed my life! I am so grateful for all that I have learned from it and still do. The warmth, the fluid movement, the sound...I'm starting to get wet...I'm sorry, didn't mean to be rude, but that is how I feel about it at times. Anyhow, I look forward to meeting all of you one day soon. Have a very Hoopy Huladay Season, Kandice
