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.

“He was at a starting point which makes many a man’s career a fine subject for betting, if there were any gentlemen given to that amusement who could appreciate the complicated probabilities of an arduous purpose, with all the possible thwartings and furtherings of circumstance, all the niceties of inward balance, by which a man swings and makes his point or else is carried headlong.”

“Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you—like music to the musician or Marxism to the Communist—or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“All I can tell you with certainty is that I, for one, have no self, and that I am unwilling or unable to perpetrate upon myself the joke of a self.... What I have instead is a variety of impersonations I can do, and not only of myself—a troupe of players that I have internalised, a permanent company of actors that I can call upon when a self is required.... I am a theater and nothing more than a theater.”
—Philip Roth (b. 1933)
