Event Details

Return of the Alien!

We had a great turnout for the 2010 Alien Poi Workshops, so Alien Jon is back again in 2011 with new material!

This year Creative Motion is hosting a single-day event with 2 back-to-back classes. Each class is 2 hours long, so we have plenty of time to delve deep! Make sure you show up a little early so we can start on time.

Class One: Poi Fundamentals & Body Mechanics

Time: 3:00pm to 5:00pm

Experience Level: Experienced Beginner to Advanced
(Experienced Beginners should be familiar with "the basics". Advanced Spinners expect some review balanced with deeper concepts)

Description

Regardless of experience level, when we are playing at the edge of our technical ability there is a tendency to plant our feet, lock up our body, and put all of our focus on what our hands are doing with our poi.

This workshop gives you the foundational elements, focal points, forms and understanding you need to increase your freedom of movement. You'll develop the tools you need to evolve from stationary tricks to dynamic flow technique!


Class Two: Snakes, Body Traces, Stall Chasers & more

Time: 5:00pm to 7:00pm

Experience Level: Intermediate to Advanced

Description

This class will cover a variety of applied techniques while emphasizing how to add graceful movement and flow to technical spinning.

Snakes, Body Tracing, Stall Chasers, and the other techniques we'll cover lend themselves to merging geometric spinning with body contouring and expressive movement.


Venue: Interfaith Peace Chapel!

Come Prepared: Know the Poi Basics

To attend Alien Jon workshops an 'Experienced Beginner' should be comfortable with basic poi spinning. Please watch  the following video, my friend Nick Woolsey of Playpoi.com demonstrating guidelines for what you should be familiar with. Make sure you are comfortable with most of these things.
