		Fire was also used to promote or improve plants (such as willow, beargrass, deergrass, and hazelnut), as many were used for important storage/carrying baskets, clothing, and shelter.
		The dances are held either out-doors or in certain sacred houses, which are however not different from the ordinary living-house of the region except through their traditionary and ceremonial associations.

		Their insanity was expressed in an entirely different manner on "Fire Dances", an album that is philosophically more coherent than any of their first three releases.
		Except for "Dominator" (which has a dance beat) and "Let's Go (To The Fire Dances)" (which moves along like a figure skater fleeing a polar bear), the songs are all very tribal, drum-heavy affairs, with Geordie playing dissonant and unusual guitar parts all over the place.
		"Fire Dances" is apparently Killing Joke's encouragement to return back to basic ways, since modern ways have obviously brought us to the brink.

	Burning Man :: AfterBurn Report 2005 :: Art :: Fire Conclave
		The Fire Conclave finds nothing wrong with free-form fire jams, but to step within the boundary of the Great Circle, a performer needs to plan more than just "throwing a bunch of fire around." Because of the diverse achievement levels of the membership of the Fire Conclave, some were already familiar with creating choreographed dances.
		Choreography, the art of composing dances and the movement and patterns of a dance composition, implies that forethought helps to structure physical movements.
		A group must work together with a common goal in mind, the dance may incorporate solo opportunities, but the ego of the group as a whole is more important than the separate egos of a few.
