Performance Workshop IB: Video Feedback

Course Overview

From new performers to seasons professionals, this workshop will empower you to see yourself more accurately through the use of video taped sessions, personalized coaching and structured feedback from peers.

This workshop begins with each student meeting privately with their poi coach for a 20 minute session. The session opens with the artist being filmed while performing for approximately 3 minutes. After the performance is complete, the student then reviews the video with the coach and gets live feedback and a copy of the performance. The student will then work with the feedback provided by the coach applying it in their practice. Several weeks later, students return for another 20 minute session structured like the first session.

A few weeks later, after both sessions are complete, a group of students who have taken this class will meet with the coach and perform for the group as well as the instructor, receiving written feedback from everyone using a feedback form designed specifically for this class.

Total time met for the class is 2 hours and 40 minutes over 3 sessions, with the 2 20 minute sessions being private coaching sessions.

For instructor efficiency, several students meet consecutively each of the first two evenings of the class for their 20 minute private coaching sessions. On the final evening, all students meet together. Please be prepared to pick a 20 minute time up to 100 minutes after the "start" time of the class listed on the calendar.

In the final session, after each performer completes their 3 minute piece, their peers and coach will each artist complete an assessment form created specificly for this class by Temple of Poi.
