Workshop Descriptions:
1. Beginning/Intermediate Poi - Greg Maldonado
Learn to spin poi the easy way: by understanding how poi works. This class is built around a series of simple exercises designed to teach you more than just tricks. By exploring how a few simple tricks relate to one another, an understanding of poi emerges that will make future learning easier.
2. Intermediate/Advanced Poi Spinning- Jordan Campbell
The goal of this class is to teach you how to develop all the skills necessary to transition from an intermediate to an advanced poi spinner and how to recognize what gaps remain in your spinning repertoire. We will explore concepts including concepts like spin and antispin flowers, isolations, linear isolations, 1.5 beat weaves, hyerloops, polyrhythms pendulums, inversions, insides, introversions and hybrids. After the class you will likely not be able to do all the moves we went over but you should know what you need to learn and how to go about learning them.
3. Beginning Staff – Krissy Humphreys
Explore various types of staff movement, develop technique to control the staff and learn to move your body in graceful unison with the staff. After this class you will be able to spin confidently in a variety of ways and will have a clear understanding of how a staff moves and how you must move with the staff.
4. Beginning/Intermediate Double Staff - Krissy Humphreys
This class is designed for beginners and will cover basic double staff technique while introducing planes, beats, timing and direction. No previous double staff experience is required.
5. Intermediate/Advanced Staff Spinning– Jordan Campbell
In this class is designed to fill out technique: we will take a quick tour through different ways to pass the staff from hand to hand, work on some pendulums and non-linear planes and then learn technique that uses the body like learning to use your body as a lever to move the staff and how to use the momentum of the staff to initiate body movement.
6. Beginning/ Intermediate Contact Staff - Noel Yee
This class is an introduction to contact staff manipulation with an emphasis on drills, planes and delivery. This class will take you through the basics of wrapping, rolling and spiraling with a staff. We will cover some of the following beginner tricks: hand, elbow, shoulder and neck wraps, halos and backside spirals. No experience required!
