Just juggling some fire, as one does.

We've worked out our fire staff fight choreography for Friday's agni kai. Now we just have to learn it.

Back on my bushido again.

Well, that went better than the last time I tried to juggle torches.

Legit question from me: Are we choreographing an agni kai?

Student: No, we're just fighting.

A high toss.

Photographer Nina Johnson took many great pix of this show:

NAILED IT! Vertical hand light, river of fire, and high spinning toss into wall of fire TWICE! #FireArts #juggling #fireknife #FireDancing #SivaAfi

Had a decent burn tonight.

The Multnomah County burn ban is lifted, so we'll be fire dancing tonight!

For years, I've struggled with cutting the kevlar wick we use in our fire dancing props. At tonight's prop making party, a student came up with a solution: trauma shears!

One of the students in the Fire Arts club I advise dubbed me "The Trogfather". #trogdor #burninate #ThatchedRoofCottages #FireArts

I have to choreograph my number for next week's New Student Orientation fire show, but there are two problems:

1) Because of the crispy landscape, the Fire Marshal has a burn ban on. This has happened for at least the last six years, so we have LED props we can spin.

2) Because of wildfires, the air quality is too low to engage in vigorous aerobic activity outdoors. The weather forecast is "haze".

Thanks, ExxonMobil!

Last night's rehearsal: set my pants on fire.

Tonight's: spilled my blood.

This show is going to be AWESOME!

It looks to be a good year for Fire Arts. There were close to 50 people there tonight. They're very excited, and we've only DESCRIBED actual fire to them.
