Moon Blazin It

Exuro — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:26:59 +0000

Tori Johnson has been on the up and coming fast track lately in the Twin Cities area.
Her tech poi style continues to expand and blow the minds of seasoned spinners, no small feat for someone who’s only been playing with fire for a year. Her newest video showcases a set of fresh Moon Blaze wicks and if i may say so myself is pretty damn tech for 2 years of spinning under her belt.

Enjoy

Technically Silly Contact Poi

Pineapple Pete and G bring us this video of sillyness mixed with tech poi entitled; A Touch More Vengeance.
From the head bump plane change, to the foot bounces and catches, this video is technically silly.

Ian Smith: Plane Bending Poi

Exuro — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 20:30:41 +0000

Ian Smith whom you know from the Vulcan Tech Blog videos on youtube, has put out a new fire video of his plane-bending 3-Dimensional poi adventures, and boy is it intense! It comes across as an artistic trompe l’oeil dance, in a style I can’t help but love.

FireDrums VIII

ase x — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 07:35:09 +0000

UPDATE:
FireDrums VIII will be held from May 6th through May 9th at Cutter Scout Camp.

in my opinion, Fire Drums is the most positive and educational fire performance retreat of the year. It bring world renound performers and everyone who attends is a teacher and a student. Since attending last year, I made so many friends and got the chance to meet performers and learn from those who have been inspiring me since I started spinning.

FireDrums is about bringing fire arts and drumming communities together to share knowledge and help introduce those interested in perusing these arts and is open to everyone at any skill level. Whether you’re learning, teaching, sharing, inspiring, or being inspired, we welcome everyone interested in participating. Everyone was a beginner at some point in their development and you can often learn as much and enjoy just as much pleasure from teaching as you can from being taught. There will be organized and interactive workshops in the various disciplines of the fire and flow arts and drumming throughout the gathering.

While FireDrums is a wonderfully playful gathering, it is not a rave or party scene. There are many ‘events’ , ‘parties’ and ‘happenings’ thru out the year. However, FireDrums is a gathering for all ages and we cherish this very special weekend and ask that all attending show the utmost respect for everyone as well as the amazingly beautiful setting where we will gather.
FireDrums is a Leave No Trace Gathering. Please help us keep the price of admission as low as possible by keeping the camp clean and taking all trash and recyclables with you.

Though FireDrums is not an exclusive gathering, the focus is about fire arts and acoustic drumming and other related instruments. Therefore, while friends and family of all ages are welcome, we ask you to not disseminate information to other lists not directly related to these arts.

Every FireDrums gathering has unfurled it’s own unique tapestry of bonding friendships and new found artistic desires. We have developed a growing crew of organizers who are collectively facilitating many workshops, healthy community meals and many more aspects that are making each gathering a more wonderful experience for all of us. All interested in helping are welcome.

Insphyre will report any and all news as follows. Keep your dates open and get excited to what I consider the most helpful spinning learning experience of the year.
