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.

Famous quotes containing the words starting, joining, fire and/or troupe:
“And down in fathoms many went the captain and the crew;
Down went the owners—greedy men whom hope of gain
allured:
Oh, dry the starting tear, for they were heavily insured.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
“When they [the American soldiers] came, they found fit comrades for their courage and their devotion.... Joining hands with them, the men of America gave the greatest of all gifts, the gift of life and the gift of spirit.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Bare night is best. Bare earth is best. Bare, bare,
Except for our own houses, huddled low
Beneath the arches and their spangled air,
Beneath the rhapsodies of fire and fire,
Where the voice that is in us makes a true response....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“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)
