I was transfixed by the performance by the woman with the staff that had a set of four wicks on each end of the staff. Anybody know who I'm talking about? Or her story? Amazing performance.

    thats been one of the main highlights ive been including in the stories. That was hands down one of the coolest fireshows ive ever seen, coming from a fire geek too. the effect she got from just twisting the staff longwise was such a trip!

    if anybody has that info i would like to know as well

      The tool is really cool, but the spinner's fierceness was what made it great. And the skill level was way up there too. Great show.

        Her name is Mystique, she lives up in northern CA. She has a whole story/dragon character that goes along with the dance of the staff. I don't know if she is on tribe, but she's on facebook as Mystique Violet Madrone .

        it just goes to show, it's not the size, it's the fierceness with which one uses one's tool.

    Tis true, her name is Mystikque and she is a native to the redwood empire, Humboldt county to be precise. I am actually in her artistic collaboration group the Night Shade Serenade and very well acquainted with her, we are actually going to see Wolverine tonight! So, if anyone wants to get a hold of her directly I would say either go through her facebook, search Mystikque Violet Madrone, or send a message my way and I'll vibe the contacts between you. Cheers and me mateys!

      Thanks everybody for the helpful info....her performances were stunning to me because they were more than just art, beauty and performance but they were demonstrations of non-physical energy. It was spectacular to see that. She appears to put 100% of what she's got into the performance (and the rest comes from somewhere else.) I see passionate dedication in her. Nivek, please thank her for me. Next time someone does a story/film on fire arts - Mistikque's gotta get included - if she's open to it.
