Started teaching Contact staff about 7 years ago in Dunedin. Since then I have developed skills with 2, 3 and 4 sticks as well as 2,3 and 4 poi. I teach annually at Circulation and Luminate Festival.
Swiss Army Sticks
Students will learn basic formations and contact of 2 sticks in one hand which can transferred onto 3 and 4 sticks. At the end of the lesson students should have a good grip and smooth effortless motion with 2 sticks. One handed stick on stick is a great intro to multi-sticking.

Jeff Robinson
Jeff is one half of the Hoop Hooligans, a dynamic comedy fire duo from New Zealand. The lads love to laugh! Their shows reflect the brotherly bond of two circus hooligans, who keep audiences transfixed with a combination of spectacular tricks, and slapstick, buffoonery. Jeff is a master of minihoop manipulation and native American Hoop [...]
Smilie
Hi! I'm Smilie, a living-room spinner from Brissie. Although, I do like to venture out into parks every once in a while to enjoy the feeling of grass under my feet as I play. I really like to throw things and catch them again. I try to do it over and over until it's the [...]
