Tonight was the first burn of the school year for our fire dancing club. I did a Samoan fireknife duet, juggled some torches, and worked on passing torches.
There were helicopters flying low overhead, presumably ICE getting some footage for Fox of Portland "burning to the ground".

A high toss.
Photographer Nina Johnson took many great pix of this show:

If you'd like to experience the thrill of Samoan fireknife dancing without the cuts, bruises, and second degree burns, check out my card game Siva Afi: The Fireknife Dance of Samoa.
This game was developed and tested with the help of professional fireknife dancers. All card text is bilingual (Samoan and English). The cards feature gorgeous art by Samoan artist Troy Safotu.

For years, I've struggled with cutting the kevlar wick we use in our fire dancing props. At tonight's prop making party, a student came up with a solution: trauma shears!

Lewis & Clark College Fire Arts is doing a show!
I'll be doing double fireknife to "Raphael's Final Act" from the Baldur's Gate 3 soundtrack.

Neat -- the artist who illustrated my Siva Afi card game is selling some of the art:

I suppose this is the time to point out that Siva Afi: The Fireknife Dance of Samoa makes a great gift for your most flammable loved ones. It's a pretty safe bet that your tabletop gamer relative doesn't already have it.

First burn of the semester. Not my best performance or video quality, but you get the idea.

Woohoo! I sold two more copies of Siva Afi: The Fireknife Dance of Samoa!

I have to choreograph my number for next week's New Student Orientation fire show, but there are two problems:
1) Because of the crispy landscape, the Fire Marshal has a burn ban on. This has happened for at least the last six years, so we have LED props we can spin.
2) Because of wildfires, the air quality is too low to engage in vigorous aerobic activity outdoors. The weather forecast is "haze".
Thanks, ExxonMobil!

Represent! #SivaAfi #fireknife #Samoa #Hawaii
(They used to make one called Rings of Fire with even better art, but I think they've been discontinued.)

Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month!

I do not have Pacific Islander ancestry myself, but I have been practicing the Samoan art of Siva Afi (fireknife dancing) for 12 years. I worked with world-champion fireknife dancers, Samoan speakers, and a Samoan artist to create a card game about it:

Last night's rehearsal: set my pants on fire.

This show is going to be AWESOME!

This excellent introductory juggling video implicitly notes a counterintuitive phenomenon that I discovered when learning to toss Samoan fireknives: it's easier to catch if you toss *higher*, because you have more time to observe the trajectory.

Are there any tabletop game reviewers out there interested in reviewing my card game about Samoan fireknife dancing?
