w:st="on">San Francisco</st1:place></st1:City>, an evening
symposium titled <i style="">Fire Arts & Burning
Desires</i> will present several Burning Man fire artists, who will

<br>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">From pyrrhic highlight to transcendent
interaction,
when is fire an appropriate part of a sculptural statement? How do we
use fire
in a safe way for both the artist and the audience? Learn about the
behind the
scenes gyrations of previous Burning Man fire art spectacles.<o:p></o:p></span>
