Starting or Joining A Fire Troupe
It is generally accepted that it is easier to start a fire tribe with friends than it is to join an existing troupe. Joining an established fire troupe generally entails an audition process where a performer has to demonstrate his/her fire dance ability. The more skilled the performer, the better chance they stand of being accepted. The level of confidence, performer ability and performance experience also plays an important role in accepting a candidate. The ability of the individual to work and play in a group environment, being flexible to new developments, building consensus, encouraging new ideas, open communication, honesty, and safety awareness are all key to remaining in the group.

And going faster and faster: desk, papers, books,
Photographs of friends, the window and the trees
Merging in one neutral band that surrounds
Me on all sides, everywhere I look.”
