I actually quite intrigued by the way you have described it. I'm sure that there would be a way performers could incorporate portions of the style into their performance. Is there any more information on these techniques/styles/forms?

Edit: actually HOP has a few threads on this as well as youtube. Didn't think it was really that popular as i had never come across it before lol

I dunno, it's just evolution in style during long period.

From beginner to geek, tech, performace, high-tech..etc
as the years come. I ivented it myself.

I see it as a self development and more heritage, tribal
origin, not what performace evelved into.

But real mind/body slow, low energy style more natural
movement, no tech geek or artist style.

Basic steps combine warm up, running and circular movements for whole body:

--------------------------

warm up

Very very slow circular head, shoulders, hands, torso, legs,
feets movements (I do basicly 3 circles both direction).

circular movements

-shoulder reels(any timing, straight hands and body)
-torso circling(with hands joined)


running

Simple running, I meen spinning is a lot upper body/pose
oriented so running fix the lower part .

footwork

Connected with the whole routine. Here is the spot,
footwork is so necessary to perfect, there
is a little writing about it here:

--------------------------

The benefit is that because the momenens are very slow
and elemental you can practise and enjoy the movement
for an hours.

I'm practising one hour each weekend, but you can sche-
dule more accurate time to stay still in good condition.

Note:

This practise is performed without Poi!

There are absolutely no tricks included.
