Spin Jams: Flow Arts Gathering

About this event

Spin Jams offer an inclusive, welcoming space where people of all skill levels can explore prop-based manipulation. These gatherings are the heart of the community—where we come together to share ideas, connect and become part of a community. Props are provided, but feel free to bring your own!

INSTRUCTOR: Krissy Humphreys

PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN:

• Basic moves for poi, hoops, fans, flow wand, and other props

• Introduction to timing, direction and planes (Fundamentals for learning flow arts)

• How to share ideas, moves and connect with others through flow arts.

• Overcoming the fear of "messing up"

• How to move and dance with different props

• The joy of inclusivity and connection

• Spatial and body awareness

Classes are for any age and props are provided!

Krissy is hosting these FREE Flow Arts classes to produce a comprehensive research paper exploring how flow arts can serve as a medium for community building. The paper will focus on the how the role of accessible spin jams can foster social connections, creativity, and a shared sense of purpose through movement and artistic expression.

The mission is to create and foster community through open practices and classes in flow arts. This includes hula hooping, poi dance and other props with dancing.
