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.
