Poi Workshops

Want to bring me to your area? Request a workshop using my Eventful widget. Currently workshop offerings include:

Introduction to Poi:
An hour and a half introduction to the fundamentals of poi movement and a few basic tricks.

Poi Intensive:
Appropriate for all skill levels, this is an hourlong intensive poi workout designed to hone technique and precision while building physical stamina and strength. You will be sweating at the end--this is not a warning but a guarantee!

Horizontal Stacks:
One of the most intriguing poi rabbit holes of the new decade! Find out how stalls, pendulums, and flowers can be split apart into fascinating and gravity-defying patterns.

Toroid Flowers:
Tired of 2D spinning? Enter the weird world of exotic planebending where planes become lines and cross points become corners. Learn how to draw with the path of the poi itself and how to build beautiful patterns that are visible from all angles!

Additional topics include: contact poi, flowers, hybrids, and more!

If you've seen me perform a type of trick in my tech blog, you can request I teach a workshop on it when I come to your area.

How can you get me to your area?

The two most important things I consider in where I go to teach a workshop is demand and a venue. If you can get your friends to request me on Eventful, the more requests I get the more likely I am to come. If you know of a venue in your area that would be perfect to host a workshop, contact me and let me know--this is also a big incentive for me to come.

Festivals

I have taught at more than a half dozen festivals the world over and would be delighted to hear about yours. Please email me via my contact form and tell me about your event. I have taught at Firedrums, Burning Man, NoWhere, Transformus, Playa Del Fuego, Kinetic, Wildfire, and the Tahoe Flow Arts Festival. I teach all levels and would love to contribute to your event in any way I can.
