Safety matters deeply in our community. Flow arts can be demanding on the body and mind. Fire performance is never risk-free — it requires serious preparation, respect for the hazards involved, and care for everyone nearby.
The topics below are general areas for community conversation and draft education. They are not complete instruction, official association requirements, or a substitute for proper training from qualified people.
Building skills gradually
Draft guidance — learning fundamentals before advancing, knowing your limits, warming up, and practising in suitable spaces with enough room and awareness. Draft only — approved Floasis safety documentation may be added here in future.
Fire performance — respect the risk
Draft guidance — fire is inherently hazardous. Appropriate training, qualified spotters, suitable fuel and equipment, and thorough preparation are essential considerations — not optional extras. Draft only — approved Floasis safety documentation may be added here in future.
Equipment and props
Draft guidance — checking gear before use, maintaining props, and handling fuels and materials with care where fire or other hazards are involved. Draft only — approved Floasis safety documentation may be added here in future.
Looking out for each other
Draft guidance — watching out for others at jams and gatherings, speaking up when something feels unsafe, and respecting organisers and people volunteering their time for safety. Draft only — approved Floasis safety documentation may be added here in future.
