June 1-6, italy 2019
This Summer’s 6-day long Retreat on the beautiful island of Stromboli combines a full immersion in poi spinning with pristine nature and adventure expeditions.
The legendary RONAN MCLOUGHLIN will be teaching Poi together with VOJTA STOLBENKO, June 1-6!
In addition to daily classes & play on a shaded, outdoor stage, we’ll trek up Europe’s most active volcano and watch it exploding (yes it explodes every 30min!), have our private boat-trip around the island, eat delicious Mediterranean food and play fire at various places with the sunset!
This retreat is suited for all levels of poi spinners.
For beginners; get a good foundation by understanding how the different elements are constructed.
For intermediate to advanced spinners; for every exercise we do, you will get a more advanced version that suits your personal level.
Train, spin & relax
Do you want to train 3 hours a day with Vojta and Ronan?
Apart from that, there will be short workshops in the afternoon at various places that we’ll visit, plus Vojta and Ronan will be always happy to help you individually!
You won’t only learn poi moves and tricks – we will talk about how to incorporate these moves into a performance, how to achieve a good stage presence, you will be taught some light acrobatics, footwork and dance moves you can use in flowarts.
Learn how to learn with Ronan; from his famous “Learning to learn” TED Talk. And we’ll play some theatrical games that will help us to explore more body movement possibilities.
Evening playtime will be dedicated to incorporating the technical knowledge learned during the day into play & performance. As the evening falls at dusk we’ll flow into an impro glow & fire jam with music.
Classes and some night fire jams will be held on a shaded, outdoor Dome stage with an inspiring view of both the ocean and volcano. This place is called “Parco Parco” and it is the primary venue of the legendary event “Festa del Fuoco di Stromboli”
