wow, the videao is amazing. Send it in for the next CoL. If you win, you can use the money to pretty up the homepage or to organize a memory-firespinning-meeting.

Cheers guys,
I cried all the way through editing it, and really love it. The time had such a nice vibe, and I think you get a glimpse of this.

Matina, I'd love to catch up. I'm not sure yet though, I may go back to OZ next week. Otherwise I'll be in Berlin till Tuesday and then go to Switzerland. But both options involve flying back to Australia from Frankfurt though.
I'm not really sure what to do at the moment

Contact without dance is like sex without wiggling.
A) it does feel as good
B) it does not look as good on film

Hey Kyle,
so sorry to hear about your friend Rob The past month has been filled with so much sadness, it really does get you thinking...

I loved the video, it was beautiful. My mum found me crying over my laptop and joined me as we watched it a second time.

Sorry to hear you're heading back to Oz and that I didn't get a chance to hang out with you as much as I had wanted. I look forward to bumping into you again

Hello I´m celso from Spain
I knew maddi in juggling convention on May in Leon (Spain)

I learn many things with her and not only juggling...

I would like colaborate to translate the site of maddi to spanish...
Sorry my english writing isn´t good but i understand, and i believe that i can do it...

Kisses from all the friends of this site...

Posted: 20th Aug 2007
Website registered. Anyone care for designing the site?

Celso: that is a very nice offer. I am certain that a translation would not have to be literal. I know that you have words to express feelings in a very, very beautiful way.

Thank you for that offer.

Hey hey, I was just trying the clear out my backlog of e-mails.... and i found this one from Maiuki from earlier this year:

> Hallo, hallo!!
>
> Thankx for taking the time to check this e-mail.
>
> I´ve got a project that I need help for so I would send the basic idea of it and it would be lovely to get tips and advise from you, profesionals on this, to try to make it better and more effective. I won´t write all the project, just the basic idea, as all the project is in spanish or basque.
>
> POI WORKSHOP
>
> The workshop is going to be held on a youth house runned by the townhall. All the other facilities of the building will be closed apart from the hall, where the workshop will run. Is going to be a 3 hour workshop, from 17.00 to 20.00 aproximately. The workshop will be free for the people, as I´ll be paid by the townhall ( if they say yes to a project that they offered me to do,..).
>
> The people that will come would be between, 14-18, maybe some 12,13 year olds too. Is all for beginners, but some of them might have already had a poi workhop.
>
> They will be 3 different areas:
> The HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN TOY AREA:
> The PLAYING WITH THE TOY
> The WATCHING/INSPIRATION/RELAXING AREA
>
> It would be a little introduccion to poi, origins, worlwide use,..etc (2 min)
>
> HOW TO MAKE YOUR POI:
>
> They will be shown different kinds of poi
> -Chain poi ( with rubber head)
> -Rope Poi ( with rubber head or tennis balls)
> -Sock poi
> -Strechy sock poi
> -Flags / Pics of different designes of flags too.
> -Meteor
> -Staff?
> Different materials too, UVI, Glow,..
> Thge idea is to let them try diffferent kinds of poi and let them choose wich one fits better to themselves.
> They will be explanations/ materials/instruccions of how to make it/ tools. This will take around 30-40 min.
>
> PLAYING WITH THE TOY
>
> I will build myself 15 pairs of tennis balls with rope poi, and those ones are the ones that I will teach them with.
> -Warm up :specific for the kind of moves I will teach ( my sister is helping me with that. It will be short, but effective)
>
> The first thing we will do is to star playing with them in improvisation, letting them to do that for about 10 min. They will look to each other, laugh, familiarize with the toy, see it´s complexity, hit themselves and ask loads of questions.( How should I hold the poi, How can you make them to go straight,..etc
> -show them planes
> -Small circles, big circles
> -Direcction.
> -Timing
> -Turns ( same time, split time, forwards, backwards)
> -3btw
> -Butterfly.
> -Short poi, long poi.
> -Contack / hitting themselves/ kicking/ stalls.
> -Mixing moves, how to put them together learning how to break a move.
> -Movement of the body, posses.
>
> -I would like to make a dinamic of the group doing the same move, but each time with a different body posture. Over 3 times or so, with body movement and feet movement.
> -Another dinamic would be the inventive circle; each person or whoever that wants to show a move that likes,has invented or found out ;goes into the middle of the circle and shares it with the rest.
> -Floor dinamic. Changuing of planes and floor contack.
> -Partner games/moves,.. (if wanted)
>
> It would be a little demo of isolations, hyperllops, e-raps, flowers, hybrids, stalls,..etc to get to open their minds and imagination.
> ( questions, comentaries,..)
>
> WATCHING/ INSPIRATION/RELAXING AREA
>
> This area would have a TV, with a DVD player, and it would be on since the beggining of the workshop, with the COL vids, youtube vids, and different compilations of internet. This would be for them to see the difference in styles and opportunities. They would be vids from people playing poi at the kitchen of their home to props.
> This vids would be off just during the time of explanations of planes,small circle,big circle,direcction,timing. As I think everybody should attend that part of the workshop to be able to understand it.
>
> The workshop will be on all the time, that means, I will keep with the program and people will come in and out as they want ( as there is a smoking area, and loads of smokers for sure). The idea is to let them go with their readom, and to get to know the basic at the beggining, to be able to hop on and off as they like.
>
> They are supposed to be at least around 10 people, maximum of 60, so they would be different groups, neither of them bigger than 15, 20.
> I´m suposed to be the only one giving the workshop, thinking seriously about bringuing someone to give me a hand, as the juggelers of my town won´t do it because of political reasons(nonsense).
>
> Well, that´s it, Iknow, Iknow is long but please, give me hand with ideas, maybe order of the moves,..anything that can help me,... I know is an ambitious porogram, but I´m not expecting to do it all, The main objective of the workshop is to introduce the people into the wonderfull and infinite world of the poi, seeing it, feeling it.
>
> It would also be a corner of toys whre they would be clubs, balls, rings, staff, hulahoop, contack ball,..for people to play.
> The hall will close at 22.00 so the people can keep playing, or making their toy, as the material that is leftover will be stored in the hall, where it would be for public use,..
>
> Peace and Love
>
> Maiuki, the teddy bear

I was so sorry that I never got round to replying.
