PERTH TWIRLING/JUGGLING WORKSHOPS GROUP
The Perth Fire Workshops Group have decided to hold their first ever workshop for all types of people who would like to learn the art of staff, juggling and poi.
We will be offering a wide variety of workshops from beginner to more advanced levels.
Anyone and everyone is welcome, the more the merrier.
The day will start off at about 9:00am meeting at the Burswood Train Station Car Park where we will be taking off for Lancelin.
The workshops will then run throughout the day, at night we will be lighting up for those that are interested in the fire aspect of things.
As the night wears on we shall be partying till we drop from sheer exhaustion.
THE WORKSHOPS
• Fire Twirling Introduction and Safety - Full introduction to fire twirling & fire safety. Covers Fire Extinguisher use(And appropriate type), fire blanket use, how to spin safely with fire, precautions, things 'not' to do, things 'to' do, burn treating, clothing to wear, having a 'safety', what fuels to use. Recommended for everyone. Fire Extinguisher/blanket proper use, treating burns, having a 'safety', colored flames, using wire wool.
• Beginner Staff - Beginners wanting to learn staff who have had little or no instruction before. Covers figure-8's, turning, btb passes, 'continuous' 2-handed twirling, horizontal spinning.
• Intermediate Staff - For people who have been spinning for awhile, but may need some help filling in their technique. Covers throws(horizontal/vertical), corners, horizontal tricks, pickups, handwraps, fingertwirling.
• Twin Staff - For people who have the basics of staff, but would like to try with one in each hand. Also covers Crossing over, a basic throw or two, same/different directions, horizontal.
• Contact Staff - For people who have the basics of staff, but would like to try 'contact'. This is the act of spinning/rolling the staff around the body without 'holding' it in the hands. This is very difficult and requires previous staff experience.
• Poi making - A workshop showing how to make your own poi.
• Beginner Poi - For beginners wanting to learn poi who have had little of no instruction before. Covers same-time spinning and turning, Figure-8's (chase & follow), weave, butterfly, corkscrew.
• Intermediate Poi - For people who have the basics down pat. Help with the trickier poi moves such as 5bt weave, btb weave, fountains, turning butterflies, wraps, buzzsaw planes, between the legs, waistwraps.
• Advanced Poi Theory - For experienced poi players with lots of control & wanting some new ideas to create their own advanced moves! Ideas such as Isolations, Airwraps/Hyperloops, stalls, throws, antispin, plane control techniques.
• Intro to (Fire)Club Juggling - Ever wanted to learn how to juggle clubs? With fire? Tim's your man!
• Intro to Juggling - Ever wanted to learn how to juggle balls? Here's where to learn! Also covers some basic tricks for those who already know the 3-ball cascade.
• Fire Eating - A possibility for a workshop. Not organised yet.
• Fans/Fire Fingers/Devilsticks/Diabolo - More possibilities.
IMPORTANT DATES & TIMES
We will be departing on the Saturday 30th April 2005 at 9:30am sharp (gather at Burswood Train Station Car Park). Be there at 9:00 so we can load things. If you aren’t there by 9:30 you will get left behind.
We will be coming back on the Sunday 1st May 2005 drop off at about 5pm
TRANSPORTATION
We are organising a mini bus so we don’t have to have a huge amount of people driving to Lancelin. Cost for the Car pool/Mini bus is $20 per person.
ACCOMMODATION
As this will be an overnight thing we have organised a couple of different accommodation options.
Lancelin Lodge
A backpacker’s lodge that is willing to put us up at a rate of $18 for the night. They will supply us with beds for the night, sheets and doonas.
Check out their website for more information: https://www.lancelinlodge.com.au/
For those of you willing to rough it out there is also the camping option:
Lancelin Caravan Park
Sites with electricity cost $11 per person per night.
Sites without electricity cost $8.80 per person per night.
RSVP
We will need to know how many people we are going to be expecting, who is going with the mini bus option and what type of accommodation you will be requiring. Please RSVP to the Perth Fire Workshops Group before the 8th April.

If I am not car pooling with anyone or am not on the bus (if we get one) then I will come down in the afternoon on Friday (or maybe get the day off work cause I am owed a LOT of leave).
If I am car pooling it might be a problem though.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

This thing seems to be getting harder and harder to figure out...I have a lady in Rockingham (and her two daughters) who would like to car pool and wants to know the pick up near her....we have only organised the one in Burswood at the moment.
Anyone know a solution to this problem?

I am going to try to get down on Friday if I can't take the day off on Friday then I guess I will travel down on Friday night...but I will have to head back on Sunday afternoon.
I am wondering if the car pooling thing is going to work cause we are trying to not hire a bus...but organise anyone with spare seating to take people with them.
Jed and I are going to be talking it up tonight at the regular meet.

Okay guys just a reminder that the RSVP for the Lancelin workshops is coming up.
It is next Friday on the 8th of April.
If you have not RSVPed before this date and you do intend on coming you will have to arrange your own transportation and accommodation...but you are still more than welcome to come along.

You might want to amend the title, since in some places, at least, there is no 31st of April....
Reading this, I'd love to come, but I'll be in London.
