A decade ago we thought Flow Arts were set to go mainstream–so what happened? Poi, hula hoop, fans, and fire spinning in general seemed like they were about to become the next big thing, with EDM and circus becoming major forces in the pop culture imagination. And now we’re a decade later and it seems like the art may have actually shrunk? Come along as I investigate why flow artists remain underground and kind of obscure. And I investigate how we can still take the world of wand, gloving, silk aerial work, rope dart, and many more into pop culture awareness the same way yoga, skateboarding, and parkour are!
