INTRO TO POI

Poi is a performing art that originated with the Māori people of New Zealand. As a performance art, poi involves swinging tethered weights through a variety of rhythmical and geometric patterns. Poi artists may also sing or dance while swinging their poi. Poi can be made from various materials with different handles, weights, and effects (such as fire).

This introductory workshop will offer a starting point on the basics of this art form, using LED and props. (no fire)
