| I grew up on the west coast in gum boots and a yellow rain coat. I guess its not surprising that I would be drawn to fire after so many years of being soggy. ( Don't get me wrong I love it here). I'm 22 now, an artist, traveler, organic farmer, fire dancer and stilt walker. The last two are relatively new in my life, a bunch of events that came from left field and sent me on a crazy adventure I wasn't expecting, I love that about life, just when you think its becoming predicable, you get hit in the head with a fire staff, and there you go, life changes. I started spinning staff in May and learned how to stilt walk at about the same time. I've played around with poi a bit and made a set of fire fingers, but I keep coming back to staff. Single staff, double staff, short and long. I love its versatility, how it can glide between dance and martial arts. It's inspired me to seek training in both. I am ever thankful that I've met such a beautiful group of people. Fire inspires and attracts such passion. |
