Who Are We?

We are a loose collective of people that meet weekly at Hyde Park (Mount Lawley) for the purpose of teaching and learning twirling skills and object manipulation. Each person in the group is both a student and teacher as we learn from each other and teach our skills to anyone wishing to learn them.

The group started over 10 years ago as a gathering of friends at a Leederville house. When the group got too big, the then organiser, Cormac, moved the group to the north side of Hyde Park and there it has remained since.

Over the years, while a few people remain from those early days at Cormac's house, many, many people have come and gone. The skills of the group currently vary from complete beginners (that just turned up last week) to professional fire performers working on the Perth entertainment circuit. From time to time we also have international performers come and twirl with us while they are staying in Perth.

Anyone is welcome to join the Perth Fire Group. All you need to do is come down to Hyde Park on a Tuesday night from 7:30pm onwards (until about 11ish). Just bring yourself and a smile, we teach for free and can show you how to make your own practise equipment. All we ask in return is that you teach others that which you have learnt, make anyone new feel welcome, respect the environment in which we meet, put safety first and respect those around you.

If you want to learn to twirl, while having a laugh and meeting great new people, come on down and say hi!
