THIS IS A LIT WORKSHOP: Fire eating requires working with live flame. LET'S GET LIT!
90min
$75 West LA Location off site (address will be given with sign up to workshop)
$60 for returners coming at 6:30p if you already have done the safety portion
$10 to stay another 90 min and jam! (can pay on venmo at the workshop)
Always wanted to play with fire? Are you ready to EAT? Get started with this workshop which will cover basic fire safety education and fire eating techniques. Fire eating involves placing a flame into the mouth and extinguishing it safely. Success relies on control, breath management, heat tolerance, and practiced technique which we will cover alongside psychological training to overcome fear reflexes and stay calm in close proximity to flame.
Skills Covered:
- General safety practices including handling fuel, space requirements, extinguishing with a fire safe blanket, and how to communicate while safetying fellow fire peers
- Getting comfortable with flame and safe positions to hold your fire torches
- Basic extinguishing with mouth (The fire "eating" part!):
Classic method of putting a lit torch into the mouth and closing the lips around it to snuff the flame.
- Fleshing (Wick-to-Skin)
- Tongue Transfer (Wick-to-Tongue):
A lit torch is touched briefly to the moist tongue, then “transferred” to another wick or extinguished.
- Double Wick Transfers:
Passing flame between two torches using the mouth—such as “lighting” a second torch from the first inside the mouth.
Everything you need will be provided! A couple of sets of hollow torches will be available to share, the appropriate fuel, and duvetyne fire safe blanket.
Please bring torches if you have them, fuel, safety blanket, and a water bottle to rinse your mouth! Other fire props with similar sized wicks are acceptable to practice with such as palm torches or fire fans.
Attire: Natural fabrics such as cotton, jeans, etc are great to practice in. Close toed shoes. Hair should be securely tied back.
Please note, we may not cover every subject listed as safety and proper technique is our first priority as well as respecting each individual's comfort level and pace per skill.
7:30-9p
***Only for instructor approved fire students please reach out to ask! Should have unlit training on any fire prop in advance***
LET'S GET LIT!
It's time to take those props out of the classroom and out on the town with real fire! We will safely advise and guide you towards being a full blown fire dancer whether you want to add this to your skill set to perform or just for fun!
RETURNER/DROP IN $35: You've already been through the safety briefings, want to light up right away to practice what we've done in class or just flow!
We will go over:
-Fire safety. Showing you how to set up a dip station, what fuel to use, safe dipping and spin off protocol, safetying a lit fire performer and extinguishing props comfortably with a duvetyne fire safe blanket.
-First time lighting up your prop! We will go over some safety positions and bails for lit props in case of wind, mistakes, etc., help you get comfortable holding a prop on fire in small steps, understand the different stages of being lit and timing of what skills are possible in those stages, and simple patterns to start with.
-Practicing free flow/play time with your props on fire to get comfortable improving through an entire burn (2-5 minutes at a time)
-Practicing choreography from class
Note not everyone will get to do all these steps in one jam depending on how it goes on a case by case scenario, as safety is EXTREMELY important to us and will under no circumstances be compromised. If you do not abide by our safety protocol we reserve the right to ask you to leave.
We will provide supplies for the first time, but please refer to the list below for the future and if you want to continue lighting up!
Recommended supplies:
-Dip can (most common: ammo can from an army surplus store, or something like a paint can, jar, anything that can be sealed completely shut)
-Coleman's campfire fuel (white gas)
-Duvetyne fire safe blanket
-Lighter
