Here are some of our favourite websites!
HOME OF POI
Homeofpoi.com is a major hub for all things poi
FLOWTOYS
Sean and Prisna at flowtoys.com are good friends of Nick and the Playpoi crew. Their Podpoi are our favourite LED toys in the universe, and we hope to help rally the community behind them (which will be easy as long as they keep making the best toys.)
FIRE SAFETY TRAINING
For those who play with fire, The Flow Arts Institute Safety Training is as good as it gets. Please don’t play with fire without a comprehensive safety plan. Now you have no excuse!
FEUERSHOW.DE
Feuershow.de is a German gear shop run by the very likeable Sam. They produce and sell awesome fire effects, poi, and juggling gear. We have an affiliate program with them as well, so if you go buy something, you’re supporting Playpoi!
ALIEN JON
Alien Jon has been on the frontier of flow arts for decades! He’s put out a lot of poi videos, has taught extensively, and now he’s half the brains behind PixelWhips, a new fiber-optic flow toy!
NOELYEE.COM
Noel Yee is the force behind Vulcan Tech Gospel (VTG), the source of much of the best theory regarding poi tech, poi flowers, transition theory, etc. They even have a poi transitions app!
POI COMMUNITY
Poicommunity.com is the wonderful community site run by the amazing Yuta. It offers discussion forums as well as online lessons. Yuta has put a lot of energy into the poi community in Japan, purely from his big-hearted love of poi and people. Check it out.
TEMPLE OF POI
Templeofpoi.com: Isa Isaacs (AKA Glitter Girl: a true poi super-hero) may be the strongest force pushing poi into the public awareness in North America. She played a big role in Nick’s teaching career, and has given us lots of inspiration for developing good poi lessons. The Temple of Poi offers poi lessons in San Fransisco on most weeknights.
SPIN SCIENCE
Spin Science is the artistic and intellectual outlet of Lorq Nichols. He creates clear and accurate visual aids to help you learn flow and juggling. He is one of the few people worldwide truly pushing the frontier of the learning potential of the flow arts. Also his clothing kicks ass! 🙂
DELHI 2 DUBLIN
Nick befriended one of the members of Delhi 2 Dublin while living in Vancouver, long ago. They agreed to let us use some of their tracks in our videos. The group has since become a global sensation!
DREX FACTOR
Ben Drexler has put out more tech poi videos than anybody else. He is a major influence in the world of poi. He’s also a nice guy!
LOOOOP
Loooop is a performance troupe based out of Berlin. They do the best partner-poi performances in the universe.
