POICLOCK

Friday, December 23rd, 2011

The POICLOCK! Brought to you by Yuta, the epic poi spinner, poicommunity.com and other people of awesome whom I know not.

Check it out in HUGE format on this page: poicommunity.com/poiclock/

POICLOCK was inspired by UNIQLO’s uniqlock which is a sort of fashion show and contemporary dance clock.

It’s pretty sweet, if you embed the POICLOCK on your page (or the WORLD POI CLOCK when it arrives) you get the time and random awesome poi videos and it links back to Yuta’s site and you can view it on a map along with everyone else who has embedded the POICLOCK and then click chase poiclocks all over the world! Sweet.

FIGURE / *Asterisk – Graphic Dance Movement

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011

The 1st video of the Experimental Multimedia Unit “*Asterisk” – a short dance video that simply expressed relation between music, dance and visual image.
*Asterisk’s members are MEISAI (Dance), MANUKE (Direction) and Kariu Kenji (Sound).

WoW. Amazing. This is the best representation I have seen of the patterns, lines and shapes formed by movement in Juggling, Dance and Manipulation. We’re excited to see more work from this collaboration.
Thanks to Remi for the link.

Waiting for Pich to come and comment about “Graphic Juggling”.

Bolita, a dance with one long poi tied to your belt.
This is a very interesting concept in manipulation, with a LOT of possibility.
(Even if the dance footage has been cut to the wrong music, it maybe best to watch the dancing without the sound.)
Does anyone have any more information?

The Busking Project

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

The Busking Project have travelled the world in search of the world’s street art, finding the beauty in each of the people they meet, recording it, editing it, then sharing it for the world to see. With 114 high definition videos, they certainly have a beautiful collection of interesting and inspiring people, like the Hong Kong Rose Sculptor.

They are interested in the discussion of what it means to be a street performer and are interviewing anyone they can to find a wide variety of opinions and ideas about what it means to busk.
