Friday, October 14, 2011 • 6:30-9:30PM
$10 at door / Free for Crucible Members

Join us as we explore the changing of the seasons and the play on light and shadow this time of year brings. This evening will feature work from our glass, wood, stone and ceramic departments with an exquisite art show and exciting live demos. Also don’t miss our memorizing stage performances from the Ladies of Ruckus and lively DJ mixed beats by DJ Mancub from Space Cowboys.

While perusing art, guests will enjoy a live preview of The Crucible’s upcoming world premiere fire opera: MACHINE. Accompanied by some of the props and effects planned for the show, Eugene Brancoveanu, the show’s lead baritone, will perform on the Crucible stage.

We are also trying something new, we are hosting our first-ever open fire spin jam for experienced fire performers and alumni. No instruction will be given; it’s just a chance for people to practice their fire performance skills in a safe environment. All fire toys are welcome, but each will receive a safety inspection before they can be used in the spin jam. See Spin Jam Rules…

Discounts on Crucible class tuition will be available to attendees who register at the event. New students will receive 20% off class tuition and Crucible members will receive 25% off class tuition. In addition, guests can put their $10 cover charge towards the cost of the class. A door prize raffle and the costume contest will also offer attendees a chance to winning free tuition on a Crucible class. All ages are welcome. There is a $10 cover at the door and Crucible members are free.

Crucible Spin Jam Rules

The spin jam is regulated by the Spin Jam Manager and the Fire Safety Captain. They have the final say in all things safety related and have the authority to eject anyone not adhering to the rules or common sense safety.

The Crucible will provide a trained fire safety crew armed with wet towels and CO2 extinguishers, a fuel dump area and a spin out area. Performers should bring their own fuel clearly marked with type of fuel and their name. White gas and ultra pure lamp oil are the only two fuels allowed. All fire toys are welcome. We ask that you wear all natural fiber clothing (cotton, wool, silk etc.) and no synthetics. Spin time allotted will depend on the amount of jam participants. Please be aware of your surroundings and other performers in the spin area while spinning. No official instruction will be given during the spin jam, though sharing tips and tricks with others is encouraged. All

The Sphere
The Sphere created in 1982 by Billy Hiebert is 4 ft across and
composed of 20 individual sections. Spheres are one of the
strongest and most perfect forms known in nature and Billy’s piece
is a metaphor for all of us who have ever felt the need to safely
hide the expression of our creativity from the world. This piece
is dedicated to Rosie the Riveter and all those who followed
the rallying cry, “ We Can Do It,” and The Crucible’s motto
to “ inspiring creativity in everyone.”

At 8:40pm, in one symbolic motion, we will remove the
boundaries that inhibit creativity and free the spirited soul within
the sphere.
