You'll find more posts to more links to video clips in every post I make in this thread - Look out for 3 angels
Todays video for your pleasure:
Baton twirling - Sheryl Welykholowa, Jill Ford, Stacy Singer - Triple Threat
Linky linky
Details: On stage probably 2002 . A super tight performances from world champion standard baton twirlers.
Amazingly talented trio including Stacy Singer doing monster rolls - a move apparently invented for her and remamed matrix by the edinburgh staff twirlers.
See Glitzy stuff, 3 baton juggling, contact sequence and some qualilty strutting about.
If you like this, make a post below. If you have any requests, I can post them too.

Here's the link to the website of
https://www.ayaco.org/aya.html
Online home for the fantastic Mr Om with Katanka.
Poke around a bit and you will find their promo video Metamorphose
Lots of contact of all styles, bits of daftness bits of diabolo. But more importantly - a performace rather than just "doing tricks" and a lot of fun.
Ludovic/ Mr Om: is a good friend who came to stay with me last year, He is a legend of the contact world, incredibly tallented at 1 ball and multiball, and does yoga poses with a ball on top of his head!!
Katanka - I've never met, but all reports say that she is groovy too.
and now it seems also Miss Frix has joined the company wow
The awesome miss Frix (source of my fluffy pink ears who I owe 28 euro worth of good Karma from the last time I saw her at EJC2004.
Enjoy:)
PS - Mr Om is the only other person I know who can do any kind of contact with 11 balls - its in the clip
____________________________________________________________________
NYC Ditto. I completely agree, with that- although usually I'm not quite so eloquent.
It the same reason that I don't enjoy films like "crouching tiger, laughing hyena"
CGI fakery oh NO
Jackie Chan really doing hard crazy
. oh YES (the mans is totally brilliant)
Rev: I think thats also part of why I don't relly watch wrestling either I can't "suspend my disbelief" this is the modern era of hyper-reality.
Cole, you better get in quick, there are 2 pairs left on my desk in white and 2 pairs in orange.

I don't care for wrestling at all... redneck soap-opera is how we refer to it... but one of the teachers on my thesis committee (also really good philosopher of mind and language) has fallen in love with it.. which is why him and others are doing work on this whole 'suspension of 'suspension of disbelief' '.. its not the suspension that you need for wrestling.. its the second order suspension.. which I guess presupposes that to some extent you can do the first order one.. haha.. I can't do it.. its still men in tights fondling each other.. at least japanese and mexican wrestling has acrobatics.. better sotrylines too I'm told.. a well.. not my cup-o-tea
awesome link today too btw

In a strange coincidence they just had Penn and Teller do their "clear cups and balls" trick on TV this morning.
I stand behind my love of them. I saw them a few times when I was 14 and have loved them ever since. Mostly because they hung out with me during the intermissions.

When I'm watching Penn and Teller on TV, I'm certain that the card tricks they're doing look just as good in person.

That's sooo cute, I'm gonna go to bed with a big Grin form that one.
Rodo - Thank you for the videos.Your poi should be with Olivier tomorrow or at worst monday
The Delay has been entirely my fault. And i'ts only because alphalight sent me a nice message every week to remind me, that you have got the poi at all.
alphalight: I will PM you with the rest ofthe details.
3 videos posted here today, and I certainly can't top that last one, So I'll be back tomorrow with something else - Something Very Very Gay.

https://www.axisdanz.com/index.asp?PAGE=viewourreel
Not quite poi, but flagging from this US performance troup.
Most of them seem to work in TV, so unsurprisingly. this is a very well produced promo.
Its well worth having a look at the "performance highlights" slideshows, showing shots of impressive looking shows -
Mind you their, performance highlights do include a "Mariah Carey Music Video"
Not necessarilry anything special in terms of twirling, but worth seeing the video for some great moments where they show some big choregraphed twirling shows performed by multiple pro dancers
Video Overall Rating 68%
+ performance, twirling, filming, editing and dancers
- technical, and those orange and green flags

Hey, that's George!
He gives flagging classes downtown, I've taken a few. He's a great guy. We've crossed paths many times.
Yeah, you can all laugh at the thought of me trying to keep up with a tall goodlooking well-moving dance troupe.
Yup, George is great. They do all sorts of Gay fundraisers as well as performing at various international venues. Local New York Boy done well.
Lots of dancing and good flowy dancy poses.

Loving flags at the moment. There are couple of recent threads in the videos forum with some nice flag footage. I hadn't realised that its a whole seperate art form quite distinct from poi where they use flags with no handles. I'm going to get me some of them! Cheers Drew.

Hello normal people - Not poi, not staff, just a daft song today:
# The internet is really really great... for porn.
There is no nudity, or bad language in this clip, its completely Safe for work. PG rated
"The Internet is for Porn" song from avenue-Q
With some other folks making a computer game animation too it:
https://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5430343841227974645
one of those monsters does a charleston step
Here's the original source of the genius on this, but its not the whole song - I wanna see this show, it looks great:
Avenue-Q
https://www.avenueq.com/videoclips.html
Watch out, its catchy this one, you may be singing this song all day.
73% for the soundtrack, I'm not rating the animation.
Enjoy.

We took my brother to see Avenue Q when he was in town a couple of weeks ago. It's a brilliant show, though I was a little shocked by the full puppet nudity
Bit naughty. Glad we hadn't taken the mole along.
Happily NYC had the week off because you're right - we couldn't stop singing
