Lots of drops at the beginning, but I nailed the second half, including a difficult under-the-leg catch.

For years, I've struggled with cutting the kevlar wick we use in our fire dancing props. At tonight's prop making party, a student came up with a solution: trauma shears!

Lewis & Clark College Fire Arts is doing a show!

I'll be doing double fireknife to "Raphael's Final Act" from the Baldur's Gate 3 soundtrack.

Neat -- the artist who illustrated my Siva Afi card game is selling some of the art:

I suppose this is the time to point out that Siva Afi: The Fireknife Dance of Samoa makes a great gift for your most flammable loved ones. It's a pretty safe bet that your tabletop gamer relative doesn't already have it.

First burn of the semester. Not my best performance or video quality, but you get the idea.

I have to choreograph my number for next week's New Student Orientation fire show, but there are two problems:

1) Because of the crispy landscape, the Fire Marshal has a burn ban on. This has happened for at least the last six years, so we have LED props we can spin.

2) Because of wildfires, the air quality is too low to engage in vigorous aerobic activity outdoors. The weather forecast is "haze".

Thanks, ExxonMobil!

(They used to make one called Rings of Fire with even better art, but I think they've been discontinued.)

Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month!

I do not have Pacific Islander ancestry myself, but I have been practicing the Samoan art of Siva Afi (fireknife dancing) for 12 years. I worked with world-champion fireknife dancers, Samoan speakers, and a Samoan artist to create a card game about it:

This show is going to be AWESOME!

Knock knock.

Who's there?

Chee.

This excellent introductory juggling video implicitly notes a counterintuitive phenomenon that I discovered when learning to toss Samoan fireknives: it's easier to catch if you toss *higher*, because you have more time to observe the trajectory.
