Details
The following poi sessions will be taught by Isa
"GlitterGirl" Isaacs, founder of Temple
of Poi, the premier poi school in the world. There will be
three teaching sessions and a special performance and celebration
sharing opportunity as follows:
Lessons for Beginners/Intermediate
Poi artists
Our 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.
This session includes access to the Temple
of Poi Computer Based Training Program. All
Students must complete the computer based training prior to March
3 and we expect this material to be review for intermediates. This
will maximize the student investment. The opening of the training
will be a review of everything covered in the computer based
training program.
Upon registering for the course, students will
be given access to the training as well as being shipped a set
of practice poi included in the tuition.
Performance
and Celebration
Saturday evening will find GlitterGirl
performing for the students. All participants in any of the sessions
as well as their guests are welcome to attend the celebration
to share ideas, enjoy the performance and taken in the splendor
of Shenandoah National Park. Students
are welcome to create a performance for the group as well. Performances
will be held indoor and, if weather permitting a fire performance
will happen outdoor as well.
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.
