I'm fairly new too the fire arts and I was just wondering if there were any regular meets in Melbourne.
The reason I am asking is that I am currently studying at swinburne and have to do an essay and presentation on a subculture. For this I need some footage,images and quotes of fire artists. (Either poi or staff).
I was also wondering whether the majority of fire spinners minded being filmed or photographed.
Thankyou
Justin

Posted: Thanks for that though I unfortunately had to work.
I actually heard from some friends that there might be something on in the Fitzroy gardens each week. I was just wondering if anyone had any more details about this. Such as nights and times.
