Playing Fire @ Urbanscapes 2009

Just came back from Urbanscapes 2009 + Dinner + Yumcha.

Saw lotsa people there and HEARD that lotsa people were there as well. Many left when i reached Haha.

It was all good. Especially the weather. Not as hot as last year's one!! xD

Anyways, for those who left the scene earlier in the afternoon, this was one of the stuffs you missed out.

Some fire business at the field out of the main building.































Me thinks me pictures is not that nice and i think if you search online for more urbanscapes 2009 pictures in the next few days, you'll see more nicer one on this specific fire thingy which i don't know what they call it.

I think it was pretty awesome. There were even 2 girls involved in this fire thingy and i think all of them accidentally burnt themselves in the process.

Must have hurt.

Will do another post with more random pictures on Urbanscapes 2009. Till then. Nights.

Hi there!

It's called fire dancing. We use poi fitted with flammable wicks and when it's swung around you get those effects you see.

You can visit http://sem-poi.blogspot.com to read more about the team and / or look up for Sem-Poi Fire Crew on Facebook.

I hope you don't mind me linking this post on to Sem-Poi's Facebook page =)

Cheers!

Glad u managed to catch our performance joshua! we call ourselves Sem-Poi, and as my 'brother on fire' baburs has posted, it's called fire dancing or more specifically fire poi. There are many forms of fire dancing, but the flammable wick connected to a chain/cord that we use is called a fire poi.

jst a correction to what he said, its not 'poi' fitted with flammable wicks.. 'Poi' actually means ball or balls on a cord. so the entire thing is called a poi. it is actually a maori word and is derived from the traditional maori performance art.

for more info on poi or the Sem-Poi Fire Crew, visit our blog and fb page. or u cn jst google 'poi' and u'll get loads of wonderful information on our obsession..
