We were first introduced to Enrico when he submitted and won a Fund the Flow Arts Seed grant for his Sound Staff project.

Since then, we've had the pleasure of getting to know him better and witness his development as an artist and all-round awesome person. Enrico is a multi-faceted creative being - constantly pushing the boundaries of multi-staff manipulation, while also spearheading social circus projects and community retreats, and exploring innovative ways to merge props with technology. He also happens to be one of the most empathic and thoughtful beings we know. We are excited to share his flow story here, and hope you enjoy his insights and journey...

Drex is no stranger to the poi and flow arts world. He's a prolific content creator, who not only consistently posts inspiring poi-in-action content, but also grows the artform through producing a range of education resources, including online tutorials, in-person lessons and workshops, video and tech blogs - yeah he's prolific. He also provides poi equipment reviews, organizes an annual top 10 spinners wrap-up, and started Poi Chat, a 25k member Facebook group dedicated to sharing all things poi.

We are proud to call Drex a friend, and so happy that we got to spend quality time with him during Firedrums recently. Read on to find out more about how Drex got started spinning poi, what motivates him, and what he's up to these days...

We started following Jessy's Instagram channel awhile back, and had the pleasure of hosting her at the flowspace a couple of years ago.

We are stoked to present our first featured artist - Ty Roachford aka Tyfoods. Aside from being an amazing poi artist, Tyfoods also founded PropDanceCulture, a platform dedicated to bringing ALL movement artists together to share key ideas, stimulate creativity, accelerate skill growth, and give movement artists the tools they need to succeed. 

Flowtoys love the playa! We've been bringing them to Burning Man since before flowtoys officially existed. Sean created our first production-ready prototypes just before the burn in 2004 and after they survived the week of heavy use on the playa, we determined they were ready for the world. That said nothing is truly playa-proof, so here're a few tips and some pre-playa prep to be sure your flowtoys can keep up with your flow!
