Keith (1961) fire.cloud facts We don’t say the dot... in this dotcom world everything reads like a website address, but not the Fire.Cloud name. The dot is to separate the words with a touch of graphic style; it has so much pazazz we don’t even say it out loud ;-) introducing... NAME: Joan Beattie ROLE AT FC: Dance Director & Arts Development JOAN’S MOST MEMORABLE FC MOMENT: “At ‘An Evening With Fire.Cloud’ the children in the audience started singing along with Band For Lent’s version of ‘Use Somebody’ by Kings Of Leon. It was a beautiful moment and I truly felt the Holy Spirit in the room. I had goose bumps.” FC SAYS: “Joan is one of those imaginative souls with bags of talent who also loves to have fun. She is a gifted dancer and choreographer and her creative input to Fire.Cloud is invaluable. Joan always comes up with something a wee bit special; she’s an incredible blessing at Fire.Cloud.”
