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.
