THE JOURNEY IS NOT DONE QUICKLY
created by Kenneth Lang
A physical theater experience that explores saying goodbye to past limitations for the promise of a dream. Based on a Russian folktale, a tsar’s son sets out on a quest and is overpowered by a wolf and his own temptations. The pain and humor along the way is narrated by your guide, an itinerant purveyor of faith, remedies and diversions.

Kill Me Loudly: A Clown Noir
Wednedsay-Sunday, September 16-20, 2009 and Wednesday-Friday, September 23-25. 8pm at Triskelion Arts
A Fools ON Fire production
Starring Deanna Fleysher, Jeff Seal, Chris Manley and Chris Roberti.
Directed by Eric Davis.
Created by the company.
A show about temptation, betrayal and murder. Done by Clowns.
Do you long for the days of lonely office buildings, dead-end alleys, and glitzy clubs? So do we. And by the time we're through, you’ll leave longing for them all the more. Director Eric Davis (Red Bastard, Cirque du Soleil, Bouffon Glass Menajoree) wields his magic sword to create a world where there is not one, but two femme-fetales, neither of whom are women, and the main Dick doesn’t even have one. We break our hearts and bare our souls to give you the film noir you deserve. We try. We’re good at trying. And we fail. That's the best part of all.
Here is a clown noir. Very good intentions. Very bad clowns.

BUJINKAN BUDO TAIJUTSU
Developed by the legendary ninja and samurai of feudal Japan, Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu comprises ancient Japanese kobudo martial arts. These arts thrive under the direct guidance of Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi, grandmaster of nine distinct martial traditions including Togakure Ryu Ninpo. Hatsumi Sensei is the last and only true ninja soke (grandmaster). The term "ninpo" refers to the group of martial traditions and philosophy that were utilized to combat the extreme violence that plagued Japan during the Sengoku ("Warring States") Era and directly afterwards. Bujinkan unarmed and armed movement focus on the efficient use of the entire body ("taijutsu") to achieve maximum effectiveness. It is not a sport. Rather, training is centered on jissen gata combat fighting.
Training is lead by Shidoshi Orin Paliwoda. Membership will be selective.
SCHEDULE & LOCATION:
Studio B, Triskelion Arts
- Saturdays 5:00 – 7:00 pm
- Sundays 2:00 – 4:00 pm
DUES:

New policy! Missed classes may be made up by attending any Freestyle Workshop (during this Spring/Summer session).
Poi was an ancient Maori art used for dance, play, agility, and self-defense training. Today, poi has developed into a dynamic and complex art form that is often combined with fire. Here, poi is taught with an eye for movement as opposed to simply a series of static tricks to be mastered. Class includes warm-up and cool-down as well as plenty of opportunity for questions, improvisation, and experimentation. We will spin and move to a variety of music to encourage different styles and flow. We introduce and review basic fire safety methods, and the last class always includes the opportunity to light up (no fire will take place at Triskelion studios).
Poi 1
This class starts at the very beginning! We begin building a basic vocabulary and getting comfortable spinning, moving, and working with planes, stalls, and basic transitions..
Poi 2
Students are expected to have a basic knowledge of simple poi moves. We continue adding to our poi vocabulary, building transitions, and facilitating experimentation.
Poi 4
Students should understand the mechanics of poi movements, be able to pick up new tricks with relative ease, and feel comfortable spinning freeform. In this class we will be exploring more technical elements of poi moves (antispin, hyperloops, pendulums, polyrhythms) as well as refining our form and working on performance styles.
Freestyle Workshop
This class is an opportunity for students to work on their own personal poi practice in a dedicated and supported environment. Students are encouraged to use this time to develop routines, work through tricky spots, or just work up a sweat. Instruction will not be in the form of a specific curriculum; rather, I will be available to help with questions, ideas, and troubleshooting. This will be an open source workshop and sharing and exchanging ideas is encouraged. This is also an ideal opportunity to take advantage of the mirrored studio, which can be an invaluable tool. This is an Open Level class, however, you must have some basic knowledge of poi as there will be no breakdown of moves per se.
Enrollment:
Poi 1, 2, and 4 are $180 for the 10-week session. A payment of $90 via Google Checkout will confirm your enrollment (I will send you an invoice when you register). The remaining balance can be paid on the first day of class.
Freestyle Workshop is $16 for a single class. Class cards may be purchased at a reduced rate: 5 classes for $70 or 10 classes for $120.

"Claire Smith's poi teaching is nothing less than awesome. She's got a great knack for breaking down complicated moves so they're easily understandable, and she gets the sense of play that poi is all about. Her classes are a blast." -Nancy Connors
"Claire is an EXCELLENT poi teacher. I was trying to teach myself by video and through friends and wasn't getting very far, but once I started taking her classes, my skills took off. Claire has a really clear way of explaining what should be happening with each move and can see right away why a trick isn't working. She works well with students of all levels. The mirrored studio also helps self-immensely. Claire is considerate and fun and I always look forward to classes." --Crystal Thiele
