Fire Twirling Articles

That’s right, you’re not in Kansas any more – you’re in Corvallis ;)

Nan Nkama & FIREality gather for regular drum / fire jams.

A little bit of fire, a little bit of bellydance, a little bit of martial arts… Sounds like fun.

The real lesson is “don’t get in the way of people who like Alan Alda”. ;)

Ian and Julia, I want to come visit. :) Your Hostel looks very cute, and how can I say no to a place that has courtesy didjs and poi (and staff) twirling lessons.

An interesting first person interview of Steven Manu Bacalso regarding his experiences as a fire knife dancer.

“Honey, I’m heading to the spa. I’ve got a Pilates class at 10 and a Poi Workshop at 11.”

Once again San Francisco blazes the way for poi – if you’re going to be Yerba Buena and you want to get a workout in, and some poi lessons while you’re there, check out ClubOne.

An entertaining read. An excerpt from a show with Penn and Teller where Penn discusses the American Sideshow and wraps up with eating fire. This article is definitely worth your time.

Fun little biographic article covering the Incendiary Circus. All these articles about Salt Lake City based fire performance groups definitely has me intrigued… there’s got to be some sort of deeper connection. :)

It seems fitting that a tradition that has to do with fire is also surrounded by controversy. Even the comments on this article are argumentative.

PS. I love the name Zozobra.

An interesting article about the role of fire knife dancers in two of cirque’s shows, “O” and “Alegria”.
