I highly recommend taking this workshop. Jon is an incredible prop artist and AZ is very fortunate to have him here willing to pass on his knowledge of poi!



Friday, March 7 - w/Alien Jon & assistant Tricia: $40 covers both classes
• 6-7:00 Fundamental forms of modern poi $20 - Covers fundamental poi concepts, exercises, and poi scales. Indispensable for the beginner, fill in holes for intermediate spinners, and give advanced spinners a chance to delve deeply into the foundation that makes all advanced moves easy to learn and flow with.
• 7-8:00 Advanced Poi and technical concepts $30 - Covers an advanced model and understanding of the spin zones around the human body so that you can spin anywhere in any orientation including behind the head and back or under the legs. This also includes inside planes and inswings in between the arms all around the body. Further exploration in the body and poi relationships as time sculpture: tracing geometry through time. This yields incredible feelings and unbelievable visual effects for your audience. For the uber-advanced we can cover 'Composite' spinning: pattern construction using independent control of each hand/poi. For example advanced hybrids.

  • Sorry for any confusion:
    We have actual CANCELED this workshop, the cost of renting the space doesn't justify the projected turn out, since we started advertising so late. :-( Sorry guys.

    However there has been some interest expressed, and Tricia has a house in Tempe with a play space and mirrored wall. It's smaller and less professional than the Mystic Jewell, but we are totally down to host a more intimate workshop at her house. It will be a nicer rate, since there won't be the same cost as renting the mystic jewell. Please let me and Tricia know ASAP if you are interested in such a workshop in the next month. I already have one person that is definitely interested. If we can get a few more together than I'll make the trip down to Tempe.

    Hope to here from people soon. Happy spinning and my your fires burn bright,
    -Alien Jon
