Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Fire


When I was running a theatre company we had performers who would  
juggle flaming torches, eat/spit fire & spin fire, sometimes while on  
stilts. We made and used puppets, but never incorporated fire puppets.

Of course most performances were outside.

A friend and multi talented performer, musician, costumer &  
photographer, who I worked with & goes by the name of PHOENIX  
FIRESTARTER is at THE BURNING MAN festival every year. She is on the  
crew that sets it up before and returns the dessert to its original  
state after the celebration. She is a fire performer. I've seen  
pictures and videos and live cams of the annual event. I'd bet there  
are artist created fire breathing dragons and various fire puppets  
there.
