  Poi Workshops with Claire de Lune Starts Jan 5
Posted December 20, 2009


Note: Details posted as received.

Winter poi sessions are starting the first week of 2010! Please register ASAP to reserve your spot.

All sessions are 10 weeks, with the last class being a fire performance class.

Please try to attend all of your classes, as poi is a vocabulary based on building blocks. If you must miss a class, you can make it up (up to two only) during this session only by attending another level class.

Poi 2
Wednesdays 6:30–8pm
January 7–March 3. Fire class date TBD.

Students are expected to have a basic knowledge of simple poi moves. We continue adding to our poi vocabulary, building transitions, and facilitating experimentation.

Poi 3 and Poi 4
Tuesdays 8–9:30pm
January 6–March 2. Fire class date TBD.

Poi 3: Students should be comfortable with basic poi vocabulary. We will be building on the basics to develop a comfort and freedom with flow, layering moves on top of one another to begin to create true flow with the poi. Stalls, turns, and transitions will be essential. We will also begin exploring new categories of moves to keep your technique exciting.

Poi 4: A lot of focus will be spent this session on choreography, sequencing moves, transitions, and experimenting with movement. We will do drills to open up new patterns within old moves and work on opening up the possibilities of poi play within the context of the framework you already know.

Note: Poi 3 and Poi 4 will meet in the same time period. Classes will be on opposite sides of the room and separate instruction will be given to each side, with personal attention given in equal measure.

Enrollment:
Cost is $180 for the 10-week session. A payment of $90 via Google Checkout will confirm your enrollment (I will send you an invoice when you register). The remaining balance can be paid on the first day of class.

Where:
Triskelion Studios, 3rd Floor, Studio B
118 N. 11th St. between Berry and Wythe
Williamsburg, Brooklyn
L train to Bedford
"I always found Claire's poi classes really inspiring because I don't consider spinning poi easy at all, and I'm not always good at taking on challenges. But there was never any sort of pressure or judgment in her classes regardless of my attitude on any given day. And she is very honest and genuine in her own exploration and learning process as it goes on side by side with her students. I loved it, and I look forward to taking more poi clases in 2010!"
