vids

one of the consistent requests i’ve gotten is to include some good video on this site.  the problem is, i haven’t had a good collection of recent high quality video of my performances.  i’m currently working on changing that with the development of a demo.  in the interim, i’ve finally assembled some decent video to share.

here is a video of my firehoop jam in a gig with solar flare at an art gallery recently.  i’m followed by my fellow solar flarista, don, weaving some magic with his poi.

though slightly different than i anticipated, it was a fun gig.  i’d been looking forward to rocking it hard with the music i brought, but the live drumming ended up being cool to work with. i like some of the impromptu sequences.  in the “on” meter, i’d say i fluctuated between a 5 and a 7 on my personal richter scale.  the funny thing is that just after don performed i returned with my hoop duet partner, karen, to more or less mangle the peice we did for conclave last year.  in my defence, we hadn’t practiced it since we performed it at burning man, but i have to admit it was totally my fault:-)

flow can be an harsh mistress, at times.

a big thank you to chris miloslavich for the video.

here is a second video of a firehoop jam i did at karen’s birthday bus traveling party.  i was actually pretty sick that night- had seriously debated going for a moment, but there was really no doubt i’d make it.  my peeps celebrating my peeps.  where else would i be?  then ended up missing several subsequent important friend things because i got sick again.  silly of me, i know.

while about six of us were spinning fire, two cars came speeding around the corner to screech to a halt just yards away from us.  joyriding teens stopped by rogue fire gang.  in one fell swoop they could have taken out most of hooppain.  there is some sick logic to that;-)

a big thank you to whit gurley for the video.
