The doors open at 2pm on Friday, at the WISE hall in East Vancouver… and we go hard, and strong, and fast, and crazy, and OMG FUN.. until sometime late Sunday night!
For all the location and price detais, the main website is here, and the non-Flash version is right over here.
I’ll be teaching one workshop each day:
Friday 6-7pm Poi style hooping
Saturday 5-6pm Self-tosses and partner passing
Sunday 1-2pm Beginner on-body hooping
.. and vending every day, selling naked hoops ($20 for my regular tubing, $10 for older/unusual tubing) and decorated but scratch n dented hoops ($20 and below), AND vinyl and prism tapes so you can customize your own!
If you have friends who aren’t into skill toys (yet!), bring them to the all-aged Gala show on Saturday night, 7:30-10:30pm at the Rio theatre on Broadway at Commercial - this $15 show will blow your mind! Many of the instructors who are teaching workshops all weekend are also pro performers, and will be showcasing their talents at the Rio. For a more casual scene, check out the Renegade show at the WISE hall on Friday night - think Open Mic for skill toy performers! The WISE hall will be all-ages during the daytime workshops, but will become 19+ at 9pm for the Renegade show and the remainder of the night.
I really really really hope you will come out and support this festival - the crew that I’ve been working with to organize the event are some of Vancouver’s most dedicated hoopers and jugglers, and the passion we feel for our flow, juggle, and spinning toys will hopefully shine through in this event!
Come play!
