A couple hours into practice we have a mandatory fire safety meeting where everyone is reminded how we keep this flow practice safe. New ones get a thorough lesson in the precautions. Then we light up.

Always a show-stopper, fire-breathing is a dangerous stunt that requires much practice in a safe setting. Eric Redfern has been working hard on his technique.


Krysta has been coming to the Monday Night Flow Jam to practice her acro skills but this week she was persuaded to give the fans a try and the results were stunning. Fans are an elegant form of fire flow and with her dance skills, you’d never know it was her first fire performance.

Meanwhile inside, Midian was practicing his knife throwing.

Jack Jack is the group recorder. He videos each performance and posts them to the group’s YouTube page.

Members can review their own videos and see what they might want to change or what works best. Sometimes members will critique each other and the feedback is invaluable.  Then there’s always the fact that it’s YouTube - a video with many views is always a good sign.

This is just a small sample of what goes on here every Monday night. Mike uses tires also as a film studio and sound stage for “unconventional filming and exquisite sets.” He has produced everything from music videos and shorts to documentaries and feature films. He has plans to start an improv theater in August at Tires.
