"Olé" Poi Performance at Summer Wildfire 2011

A poi performance I did at Summer Wildfire. Something a little bit new with some dance and clowning thrown in. I got great responses on it, so I'm going to post it and hope folks enjoy it. Thanks to Mitch for the camera work.

Video Tech Blog #187: BTH hybrid pirouette

Kris Valles sent me a request a couple months ago for a tutorial on how to do this move out of a Nicky Evers video. It's not terribly hard, but it does teach some nifty body mechanics. It also results in one hell of a shitty night if you get motion sickness from it as I did ;)

Video Tech Blog #186: Digital camcorder review (for poi spinners ;)

Over the weekend, my beloved Flip was stolen from me, so I took it as an opportunity to go try out other cameras in its class to find out which was the best for a poi video blogger to play with. The cameras I compared were the Kodak Playsport (I goofed in the video and referred to it as a Playshare), the Flip HD, and the Sony Bloggie. There's a lot of reviews of these cameras out there, but I thought it would be interesting to approach them from the perspective of a poi spinner rather than the average reviewer.

Video Tech Blog #185: Compound horizontal stacks

Last week, a poi spinner by the name of Joe Graff stopped into DC and e6 and I got the chance to hang out and spin with him in Malcolm X Park. He showed off a type of stacking I'd seen in videos but hadn't quite parsed out, but when performed in person realized represented an approach to compounding horizontal stacks that opened the door for switching up the alignments of poi and hand in many of the stacks that we play with.
