All of you with Flowlights have been waiting for this! A flowlight with a full spectrum of colors! And remember, if you love Playpoi please note the image to the right :)
This is an example of an easy to build "poi ninja training station." Make one at home, or come join us in Costa Rica where we'll have this and many other stations set up. :)
There has been a rush of great videos from this summer's poi, flow, and fire events. This compilation of footage from Burning Man shot and edited by Adam herscheid shows just how much the art form has matured. Don't be intimidated by the length. The music is great and there really is 15 mintues of footage all worth watching. Heck, I'm going to watch it a few times!
This year's Swiss Poi and Yoga Retreat was awesome! I can't believe we had such a good time even with all the rain! Franziska put this video together using a piece of music we all connected with (It's Nuvole Bianche by Ludovico Einaudi).
Next year's Swiss Poi and Yoga retreat will be the second week of August. If that's too far away consider joining us in Costa Rica :)
(Make sure to watch it in full screen if you can!)
Vojta put together this epic complication of clips from a whole bunch of awesome poi videos. It's quite a nostalgia trip of the last ten years of the art form! It also shows how far the skills and video work have come.
The Festa del Fuoco di Stromboli is a celebration of the element of fire and the many ways we creatively interact with it as human beings. It draws fire performers, musicians and artists from around the world. It takes place September 1-15 on the island of Stromboli in Sicily. The first week there are amazing performances every night and the second week there will be many workshops, including a week long poi intensive with Thom Thumb!
This video by Vojta Stolbenko made me smile! It also inspired me to start making more videos! It's amazing to see the next generation finding their flow. This video has something beyond poi moves!
This videos shows you the potential of LED to be just as awesome as fire! I'd love to get a group together someday to do something of this caliber. If you want to see that happen, make sure you're on the mailing list. It's a lot easier to launch projects when you can tell people about them ;)
Homeofpoi.com is again producing just the kind of gear the spinners have asked for. This time they've created super streamlined silicon ball handles with embedded swivels. Simple. Minimal. Easy. We approve! If you like them, go buy a pair of ball handles alone, or buy a pair of cone-poi with ball-handles!
Our friend Srikanta Barefoot (who performed with Cirque Du Soleil for years) has just released his fire staff DVD! It's also available via internet. Check out his website to learn more!
