Poi 101 Workshop: 9/25 @ 12pm-1:30pm (Studio B)
Welcome to Poi 101! The goal of the workshop is to have everyone leave knowing how to do a 2-beat weave with homework that will get them to a 3-beat weave. Evan will be going over the 4 timings and directions of 2-poi spinning, and some very basic flow-integration techniques. This will assist in showing how you can take a basic pattern and turn it into a visually appealing presentation for their audience.
Depending on how the class does, I’ll move onto different modes and transitions into changing timing and direction (stalls).
There are 9 pairs of poi for students to use. If anyone would like to buy a set of poi to learn, I recommend static fabric poi from Maine Flow on Fire on Etsy (you can use my discount code “etflowhome” for free shipping), or you can just put some uncooked rice/beans in a baggie and then put that in a very long tube sock and tie a knot at the end as a handle.
Ages 12 and up.
We're looking forward to our first flow arts workshop at Momentum!
