Hi everyone! I am Circadia and I am new to this list. I love fire and I love to dance ritually. Right now I spin poi, do body transfers, fingers, hula hoop, and am starting to learn a few staff moves. I am a college student in Olympia, Washington and the lone fire dancer in this community. Are there any gatherings in Seattle I'm missing out on? I *love* to perform! I've performed at several festivals and also solo. I've been reading past posts here and I appreciate the sense of community that radiates. Good job!I am wanting to do some serious academic study of fire performance. I am currently working on a proposal for an independent contract to travel next winter to Maui, New Zealand, and Australia to study traditional and contemporary forms of poi spinning and other fire arts. I am looking for anyone who wants to participate or who can help me connect with fire communities in those areas.much love & light,Circadia de Soleil

Such a lovely first post. Seems a shame that some git is going to come in and call points on it. But hey, if they think they're helping keep the community more friendly then who am i to argue?

Lol, yeah Cantus, I was thinking the same thing! There should be an opposite to it: Points and anti-points, much in the same way that we have musical artists and Robbie Williams.

Don't you go dissing Robbie. Not whilst Garth Brookes, Curtis Stigers and Leanne Rimes still tread the earth...."How can you say Leanne Rimes? When, quite obviously, it doesn't."

I'm meeting Chad Smith on Friday

All i know, NYC, is you threatened to drop chickens on my piano, or something. My memory is a little hazy when it comes to the details......Bendy, I think it's time you asked the nurse for more of your special tablets.
