Welcome 2012 SXSW Music Festival Visitors

SXSW visitors will, not only, appreciate the music in Austin; but our visual artists as well.    The creativity, diversity, beauty and special nature of Austin fire flow artists (also known as fire dancers) is inspiring.  I've tried to include photos in this post that I haven't shared until this week.  You will find that, although, many performers are completely booked during the festival, some still have availability. 














I look forward to having a public showing of a series of our local fire artists.  Feel free to let me know which ones you like best.

The Sacred Geometry of Fire

the zen of it all - such a blessing
darting, parting, blazing, trailing
life in blues and yellows

a bob, a weave -- an exercise in subtlety
feeling it, hearing it, knowing it
fire transforms thought, time, & intuition

 each breath slows to an eternity
movements conscious, yet not
mathematical, transformative, instinctual

sacred geometry scores the night air
possibilities of heat-formed fields of 
dancing arm-hair dandelions loom


seering, red-hot, metal kisses
etch for a while, if not forever
a memory, a sensation, a lesson

instructors sent to direct and guide
dancing fireballs admonish and chide

each reminder less than the last
rushes of wind and sounds of fire
driving energy beyond the bounds
and through my very being

grace, beauty and movement
as the heart expands, so does the mind
no reaction, just flow-no attack, just flow
