Greetings all! I have some students who have moved out to Sacramento so I'm going out there to teach them some stuff. There are some other spaces available in the class, so maybe you can join us too? The workshop will be held in Mather in one of my student's home (thank you DC!) so space is limited.
Also, I spoke with an anchor from KCRA who may very well be covering the explosion of fire dancing on the news, so you'll have to be okay with being filmed to television is you take the class. :)
Details follow:
Where:
Mather, CA 95655 (specific address given after registration funds are received to protect my student's home)
What:
The following poi sessions will be taught by Isa "GlitterGirl" Isaacs, founder of Temple of Poi, the premier poi fire dancing school in the world:
Sunday, April 8, 2007 from Noon - 6 PM
Session I: Noon - 1:20: Beginner/Advanced Beginner
Session II: 1:30 - 2:50: Beginner/Advanced Beginner/Intermediate
Session III: 3:00 - 4:20: Advanced Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced
Session IV: 4:30 - 5:50: Advanced Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced
What We'll Teach
Our fire dancing education session will begin with a discussion of poi practices and mindset created for success. For beginning poi artists, we will focus on fundamental movement principles as well as ensuring the artist has the basic moves in all directions. Then we'll work on how to transition between same and split direction movements as well as flowing between moves.
For intermediate and advanced Poi artists: Not only we will focus on honing skills (wall plane, multibeat, behind the back, polyrhythmic, split direction, etc.) we will work with combinations of moves and the flow between them. After all, what good does it do you to have a move that you can't string together with other moves? We will introduce some of our poi theory that explains how to understand more fully how to connect moves together and then we'll introduce some slick transitions (stalls, wraps, etc.) and some combos of moves you can use (and reuse like moves themselves) in your performances to add flair and fun to your poi play and performance time.
Please note: The Beginner sessions require you purchase access to the Temple of Poi Computer Based Training Program or have equivalent experience. All Beginners must complete the computer based training prior to May 9. This will maximize your investment at the training. The opening of the training will be a review of everything covered in the computer based training program and then we will build from there.
What to Bring
Please bring water, snacks and food as necessary, your poi, your flow journal, and your final tuition payment in cash. We will also have additional light poi available for purchase ($70) so bring cash for that as well.
