I will be directing the fire arts relative to the DJ Stage. This will be in front of Walker Hall, which is diagonally across the street from the southwest corner of the quad. Fire will be held religiously between 8 and 10PM, but premature burning will be allowed as darkness permits. The Free Burn will happen as it should on the Southwest Quad under the direction of empty (Jordan) to the sound of a drum circle. Two of the most excellent spaces imaginable will be provided for you to showcase fire and talent, but NO FUEL WILL BE HANDED OUT. Bring whatever amount of fuel matches your vision of how bright you and your community can shine.
There will be a meeting at the completed DJ stage at 6PM on Thursday (5/10) to assess the space and brainstorm possibilities and contingencies regarding fire play-all are welcome to attend. After 30-45 minutes of idea-having we will hold palaver with the DJ stage's main director, DJ Tao, to finalize the layout and details with all possible perspectives weighed.
The DJ stage will pander to choreographied and structured pieces. The spaces between sets will be filled with improvisation and choas that respects practice, safety, and the audience's viewpoint more so than would be expected of play in the Free Burn space. The TENTATIVE plan is this:
Friday
8:30 - 9 Chucknasty + Allegro (Shy)
9:30 - 10 Flux
Saturday
8:30 - 9 Solar Flare
9:30 - 10 NoelSki + his crew
This is only a sketch designed to convey the loose concept of when set pieces will be executed, but notice the half hours before and in between for play time. To request consideration for reserved space, call me at (530)908-7532. I work 8AM - 5:30PM everday, so details will be resolved at night. Bliss Butterfly (Tamara) will be producing a performance in the Free Burn, but will not be involved with the administration of fire. Feelings may get hurt and favoritism will be practiced, but it will not be according to my ego but my belief in fire:
With fire I see the better forms of humanity arise. I see the lost become found. I see relationships metamorphose into something symbiotic. I see the child remembered. We all become pioneering dancers, adventurous engineers, accidental students, and entranced audiences at the same instant. I want Fire Art to shift ambient temperatures upon geographies, I want fuel supplies brought into question, and I want it visible from space!
If you're using fire simply to draw attention to yourself, then it's like lying: you take one a our greatest gifts of community and twist it to serve only you. Those who embody what I value in fire will be granted the greater consideration.
