These are highlights from two videos that my firesister Lindsay and I made for the Home of Poi's video competions COL (Circles of Light) 4 and 5. It was shot and edited by my cousin, Ian Mah. I re-edited it for this. The music is by my brother's band Kan'Nal. Gosh I have a talented family!
BLACKLIGHT SISTERS
This is the Firesisters, but different. It's a blacklight video that appeared on COL 2006. The music is by Pacha which is Teresita, Rudolpho and Gilly from Kan'Nal. It was shot and edited by Ian Mah at the Centre of Gravity, Zero Gravity Circus's headquarters www.zerogravitycircus.com. (Thanks Eli!)
It appeared on Home of Poi's COL 2006 video. It was re-edited by Linda for this space.
FIRE SISTERS LIVE!
These are highlights from our poi routine at the Toronto Circus Arts festival. www.tocircusfestival.com.
Thanks to Richard for the great footage! Thanks to Jeff (aka Fesso) for introducing us!Thanks to Kan'Nal for the beautiful song!
Music
Our favorite band is KAN'NAL (www.kannal.org).They have the best fire dancing music ever! (and we're not just saying this because Linda's brother is in it :)
Our other favorite band is LUNAR FIRE, Kan'Nal's wild alter-ego. The band improvises tribal jams, while band and guest fire artists blow your mind. Click here to see an amazing video of the Daves performing double staff, an incredible fire rope numchuk combo and fire fingers and then flips on bouncy stilts.
You never know what will happen at a Lunar Fire show!!!

~Sisterhood is many things. It's a warn smile on a cold and rainy day, a friendly hug, a cheerful hello... It's all that a good and lasting friendship is, only better. It's treasured. It's sacred. It's knowing that there will always be someone there for you. It's dreams shared, and goals achieved. It's counting on others and being counted on. It is real. HUGS,SAJNI )*( ***
