if i was a non fire performer watching this I'd think you were a bunch of weirdo's. I think I dislike this media spot a lot.

[poipriestess]

we are a bunch of weirdos. :)

[ammre]

yes, but don't you want people to sign up for your school?

[poipriestess]

Of course I do. :) Everyone who is interested in the journey of Self will be compelled by our radical self expression which is, ultimately, an invitation to notice there is often more than meets the eye to a given situation.

[ammre]

maybe it's the other coast thing. I've never been to your area but I'm pretty sure if you tried to answer "wouldn't that be painful?" with "it feels good" you're not going to get the crowd you want, especially if you look at the demographics that a morning show brings. Also instead of explaining how the prop works when he talks about fire touching the skin, she does a back bend and ignores him. I just can't imagine doing that ont he east coast and getting a positive response.

[poipriestess]

I'm from NY originally and spent many years of my life there. My general experience is that people on the west coast are far more outward. It's obvious from how she is smiling and performing it doesn't hurt. I get what you're saying... and, no matter how you slice it, press is press. this art form is only going to expand when more people know about it. I'm aware that we drew more people to the show because of the spot including at least one photographer who took some great photos. :)

hell yeah spinners are fucking weirdos.

spin!!

[WesternWheels]

I'm a fire performer and I just want to say there was something about this while interview that makes me feel super akward.

[danhoppy]

the newsreader should be sacked wtf is he chatting. what a pleb

[ScreamingVockills]

i never knew about the poi as food from Hawaii...learn sommat new every visit to youtube :).

also that muppet could have said anything for the staff..other than poi...fire stick would have been better than making himself look a twit.

keep up the good work! hope to see ya in the UK soon :D :D

Mwah!

[astrealove]

Yay, you guys! I love to see fellow fire tribes at play.

And yes, the local media are always fascinated and a little bit frightened, which is funny to us insiders.

[MemoryLena]

"HOT! THAT'S HOT!"

haha silly tv personalities.

[sweetlainee]

freaks and wierdos...":P

[poifuego]

this is nice ive watched two vids today and seen plp from my 1st fire gathering that guy in the Black tank is good and he has some great throws I want his handles!!!

[mutantsong]

Personally, I thought this was a great feature. In any media piece on an artist (with the exception maybe of mainstream music acts of any genre, not counting Bjork ;p) the artist, to a non-artist, comes off as a weirdo. I don't think it's a situation specific to this spot, it's a cultural thing. As in mainstream American culture.

[toninhopavan2]

nice

you make a beatiful work

I was very happy to see ICoN there too!!!

I'm a great fan of his work

keep juggling !!!!

greetings from BRAZIL!
