4th Sunday Spin

2015-12-4thSunday

Wow, what a fun afternoon for the last 4th Sunday Spin of 2015. Twelve people dropped by to hoop and juggle, spin poi, and chat in the chilly December afternoon. We even had two dogs join us.

The next 4th Sunday Spin will be FEBRUARY 28th. I will be in Thailand with Spark Circus in January. I will return with new tricks and ideas for us to play with.

Retiring 4th Sunday Spin

It is hard to retire a long-running program. As of January 2014 our monthly hoop jam, 4th Sunday Spin, is cancelled. We’ve hosted a lot of fun at Yoyogi Park since 2010 and that you for coming out to play! With so many other terrific community events it is time to step aside for the new players to shine and for Spin Matsuri to focus on other hoop activities.

Wondering where to get your hoop on? Try one of these:

4th Sunday Hoop Market

Costume and hoop give-away day at 4th Sunday Spin! this weekend. I am paring down my wardrobe and hoop stash. Come get some fun costumes, or take home a special hoop for yourself. Bring your spare costumes and hoops – let’s share.

I will have: 2 travel hoops, 2 sets of twins, an old-skool Hoop Tokyo hoop, and half a dozen 90 cm hoops. I hope you are ready to expand your hoop collection! And if anyone wants a gigantic partner/meditation hoop, let me know and I will bring it.

From the costume closet there wil be some sexy shiny clubwear, bright pieces for practice, teaching or performance, and more.

If you want to bring hoop-related items to sell, instead of giving them away, that is fine. Be sure to mark them with prices and your name so buyers know what’s what.

Space Explorers

Colleen’s workshop was a playful look at hooping on- and off-body, incorporating body parts you might never have considered for hoopdance.  We foot-spun hoops across our legs, tossed over our backs, stretched back to get out of the way of the hoop, made daring mid-air catches on the diagonal.

And then Colleen directed us to focus on our “second hand” – the one not moving the hoop. What was it doing? Probably nothing much. Would could it do? Lots of beautiful movements including tracing the path of the hoop’s movement and winding around  the torso.

I moved in new ways yesterday and I am excited to keep working with these ideas. Thank, Colleen, for an excellent workshop!

Special Workshop: Exploring Space!

Sunday, June 24th
3pm – 4pm (during 4th Sunday Spin)
Instructor: Colleen Nyugen

Let’s explore ways to utilize the space around and on our bodies and our hoops. Open up your range of dance and motion with off-body and on-the-body hooping, discover how to make basic moves look and feel better, and even create new tricks of your own. Be ready to open your mind and play!

A hooper since February 2010, Colleen hails from a large community of flow artists in Eugene, Oregon. She is a member of the University of Oregon’s juggling club and can be found hooping at festivals and electronic parties, as well as the flow arts gathering, Pacific Fire. Colleen is currently in Tokyo for a 4-month study abroad program and will return to America at the end of July. Until then, she hopes to learn from hoopers in Japan and to share with you the hooping styles of the Pacific Northwest.

Garret Flowers, on his way home to Canada from Spark Circus, stopped in to play with us at 4th Sunday Spin. He shared this nifty, 4-hoop pattern and let me video him explaining the grip. Thanks, Garret!
