  • A partner poi and dance performance set to "Stray Italian Greyhound" by Vienna Teng featuring Drex and Morgan Howe. The only partner poi piece performed at Flow Show SF 2016, featuring integration of poi spinning, ballet, and modern dance.
    To my knowledge, this is still the world's only partner poi performance to incorporate lifts into the poi spinning!
    Morgan and I wrote this partner poi duet over the course of several months in 2015. We lived on opposite coasts, so we could only work on it in 3-4 hour increments when I’d come to visit her. First performed at Manipulation in June 2015, this is our attempt to integrate ballet and modern dance into partner poi and to write a story around a tender romance.
    Filmed at Flow Show San Francisco 2016

    Very nice! Like I've said before I could see the flow arts progressing more by taking principles of movement and dance and incorporating them into our flow. I really enjoyed the lifts here and the general structure of the duet. Incredible piece and I hope to see more like it.

    • @DrexFactor
      @DrexFactor  Před 8 lety +2

    WOW drex!! How long did it take you yo choreograph this??

    • @DrexFactor
      @DrexFactor  Před 2 lety +1

      That's kind of tough to answer because of how it was choreographed. Morgan and I were living on opposite ends of the country and I'd fly to visit her for a week about every six weeks or so. In the course of that week we'd maybe get a maximum of 5 hours to work on this piece between other commitments (she was in her first year of grad school at the time). I'd say we considered the piece ready to show after about six to eight months of doing this. It still had some rough edges that we worked to sand down over the course of a few performances for the next year. So like a year and a half-ish?

Well on behalf of the poi/flow community thank you for putting in that time flying back and fourth to choreograph something so beautiful and allowing us to be apart of that. Not only thank you for the performance but thank you for all you do for our community. Your efforts don't go unseen 🙏. I appreciate the thought out response also drex!
