In this workshop you will be learning everything you need to know to explore the art of playing with fire. No experience is required. We will go over all materials including kinds of fuel, props, clothing, and safety equipment. Instructor, Jeremiah Collins will walk you through how to set up stations for fueling, extinguishing, and storing. Everyone will be trained to put out fire on people, places, and things while leaving enough time for everyone to perform/play with fire. There will be props to use, but bring your props if you have.

Program Objectives
Participants study the art of teaching itself. Our program is grounded in the theory of multiple intelligences, meaning that different people learn in different ways. Students will learn multiple approaches to teaching movement arts; how to evaluate students in terms of their physical, mental and emotional strengths & weaknesses; safe spotting techniques; and curriculum development.
