Dance afire sign

Dance afire is a great theatrical fire troop. They invited me to be a safety and to free spin for a show they were putting on at Floydfest. The show was a depression era tale ala "Oh Brother Where are Thou," with political and religious critique and on fire. See http://www.myspace.com/danceafire

Since I was getting a free ticket, free beer and a chance to hang out with great musicians in wonderful Appalachia, I wanted to build Dance afire a really fun sign.

I wanted it to be kinetic and wind driven, provide a classy way to busk, and packable. It should announce when the shows were going on, plus it should be deadly and your should be able to light it on fire. The sign should also go with their steampunk aesthetic. I don't always work in the steampunk oeuvre, but when I do it really clears the crap out of the junk box in a wonderful way.

Aluminum tank painted with alchemical symbols for money. A thinking mans way to busk.

Wind driven.

The symbol on the disc is a DC logo with a flame. The wings fold behind the disk...like a ninja!

Light this wick on fire for night time lighting.

The end of the arm announces the showtime.

It was a great time and a great show. I think everyone liked it and no one was seriously injured by the sign or by the fire. I'll find some pictures of the sign at floydfest and on the streets of DC.
