    I'm sure the answer would be yes!

    I think it was two years ago, we had some fire performances at DID......there are pictures in our album, way back in the album....

    although we haven't had any fire workshops. I have no idea if there would be enough interest to fill a class - anyone here who is interested, please speak up so we have an idea!
    I really don't know what Sheque would say to it. Please contact Scott/Sheque and ask him about it! (go to touch the earth website and email him from there.)

        Here's some info on Vatrag Gitana/Fire Talent:

        Marcy and Bash from Wilmington were the fire performers at DID 2005.
        Their web addy:
        www.vatragitana.com/
        and Contact Information:
        Phone: 1-910-763-2223
        Email: info@vatragitana.com

        I live in Wilmington and have worked with them a few times.
        They are overseas right now in Oman but will be back stateside in a week or so.
        (Scott may already have contact info for them.)

            I would be interested in something of the sort. Do you have any specific styles in mind?

              We'd love to do a fire performance as a troupe and/or one of my troupe members Jaclin has recenlty started teaching fire fan.
              But I'm still learning a lot, so I'd be happy to take a workshop from Marcy and Bash again too. I've seen them perform at Triboriginal and they were fantastic.
              I was just posting to see if fire was something the DID crowd would welcome to the farm setting. Or if there would be problem with the fuels and such. It just seemed like a great place for it.

      Yes..Marcy is ChikenJapan lol. Bash is a very close and dear friend of mine whom I lovvve and cant wait to see at Trans!
      I "also" am a fire performer and work with Circus Morpheus a New Orleans based Circus Arts Collective that has artists/performers nationwide. Bash is part of our extended family as is Onca (who SHOULD be doing some fire *hint hint*)
      Anyways, I teach Fire Basics at Spring 4th here in Atl and we have a HUGE group of performers (like atleast 12). We teach FireSafety, Poi, Fearless Fire Eating, Staffs/Clubs, Rope Dart, Manipulations, Constructions and Choreography...whew!
      We would love to come up and atleast perform if not instruct some sort of basics workshops;>

          I wrote an email to Sheque telling him about the interest in fire workshops and performances, he just wrote me back (I copied and pasted his email below).
          Mostly likely it sounds like the workshop slots are full. Please contact him directly if anyone is interested in teaching or performing.....thanks!

          Sheque/Scott's email:
          Jessica,

          Thanks for the note and for being a liason between tribe and DID-central. We are so crazy-busy we never have the opportunity to Tune-in to Tribe. We appreciate you letting us know what the buzz is all about.
          I think we are pretty-well full on classes but if folks want to come and perform we have room for that. Anyone interested can contact me directly and I'd be glad to discuss possibilities. Looking forward to having such great energy on the farm once again-

          All the Best!

          Sheque

              Yea..me and Bash were talking about doing a set for DID, but its going to be hard to work out in time due to distance and schedules.
              I "was" wanting to teach some fire safety, basic first aid, fearless fire eating and possibly choreography with props. We'll see....
              Christy, what all fire do you do? Would love to put something together with you if you are going to Trans?!

              We skipped the Flaming Lawn Darts and just went right to Flaming Hotties - well, not really Flaming mostly, but you know -
              Dancers, Musicians and Scallywags On Fire.
