Fire and Mud 2012-- a fire performance workshop and show



August 11 at 10:00am until August 12 at 4:00pm
Bechet House, 313 N Church St., Carencro LA 70520

Two days of fire performance workshops presented by JeriKaye "The Fire Maiden from Outer Space," from Lake Charles and Kim "Anastazia la Luminaire," and Jeff "Seaphram"  McMurray of Jebidiah Goodstuff's Pyro-maniacal Olde Thyme Traveling Sideshow out of Baton Rouge.

A public performance ($10 for non-workshop participants) Saturday evening! All-ages show!

Schedule: 
Sat Aug 11
10 am-11:30 Fire Eating (extra $5 fuel charge) (bring your own fire wand)
Learn to eat fire, run fire along your skin and execute other advanced tricks with grace and confidence.  Fire safety is emphasized.


12-2 Poi  (bring your own practice poi)
We're nothin' but a bunch of swingers, so come join us for an in-depth review of poi movements, from basic to the creative-beyond. From new weaves and butterflies, to flowers and more, come give it a spin with the Fire Maiden! The Fire Maiden will share the tips and tricks she's learned while carrying the torch on her many trips through space and time!


2-4 Hoop (bring your own hoop)
The class introduces all the hooping basics and teaches hooping on different planes of the body, hoop tricks and hoop expression through flow and imagination. To be in the hoop class you need to be able to hoop successfully around your waist. For those who haven't mastered that yet, we can spend some time on it while the other classes are going on so you will have a shot at getting it down in time for the class.


4-6 Art of Fire Dancing (bring your own fire tool) This innovative class focusing on the 'dancing' aspect of 'fire dancing' will feature two of South Louisiana's pioneering fire dancers, Anastazia la Luminere and the Fire Maiden from Outer Space. It is as if one fire master split herself in two for all of your educational needs. The instructors may teach together, separately, or a little bit of both so that all of the students' interests can be adequately addressed. A central focus will be how to free your body to truly dance while spinning poi at the same time. But no matter what your interest, there will be a topic for you. Each fire tool has its own "personality" -- a unique form and energy which invites a unique style of use. These fire goddesses will have their collective host of fire tools and toys at your service, to demonstrate the skilled craft of dancing with said tools while truly exuding 'grace under fire.' Come prepared to learn about any one or all of the following topics: bellydancing with poi or fire fans, different techniques and styles of fire fan dancing, theatricality/costuming for fire dancing, uses for palm torches/bowls, introduction to collapsible fire fans, test-driving fire fingers, and more . After this class, your body and your tools will work together as one—and you'll know many new tricks. Fire safety will be emphasized. Those taking this class will participate in the evening show.
