Ahhh, Alchemy ❤️🔥 My home burn: the event that made me the person and performer I am today
Between leading the Conclave team (and the event's performer safety in general), working at my beloved
@spectralsubverse and spending time with my sweet bb burngin
@therealjacksonbush - I was preposterously busy. I even showed up on Thursday with a laminated two-page schedule mapping out my obligations hour by hour 😮💨😅
But honestly? I like being busy. My last few Alchemys were rough because of two critical, unsupportive voices. While I didn’t get much time to play this year, everything did feel better 🥲
To start: the Conclave/Performer Safety squad- myself
@pebblespins and
@ladypyromancer - was an absolute dream team
Pebbles insisted on taking full lead for the Queеr+ conclave/Stоnewall tribute art burn on Friday night, and she crushed it. She also set the tone as a megaphone boss while leading the Subverse circle on Thursday.
With the queеr conclave event covered, I had the bandwidth to run a fire circle safety training on Friday, and lead the Subverse circle that night. I led Saturday’s big effigy Conclave, and even made everyone printed handouts with full color, labelled diagrams 🤓
Leedle helped out with both of our conclaves, trained the safeties, and then she topped it off with the hardest 10+ hour circle lead shift at Subverse on burn night.
With all three of us on deck, everything ran smoothly- even enjoyably.
Other shout-outs are in order for the theme camp:
@timeddilation @hey_its_tree @courtz_can_fly @elements.flow and
@aldewyn all joined Subverse over the past year, and all were incredible contributors to our circle. Historic camp members
@oopsallbeary @alex_angel_photography @juliett_catulett @jsmithers89 also went above and beyond to help out at inconvenient hours. Thank you for working late, and repeatedly blessing our circle as both safeties and spinners🙏🫶 Thank you also to Courtz, Ben, and MJ for helping out at the conclave fuel depot- y'all crushed it!
To conclude: this year was stressful, but you can do a whole lot with a great team #spectralsubverse #alchemyburn #alchemythegeorgiaburn #flowarts #dowhatyoulove
