Flowtoys: Flow arts at festivals
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 жов 2013
- Much gratitude to all the festival organizers, volunteers, music and visionary artists who inspired us, and all who came by the flowcart - we were surfing on a sea of smiles this summer! Find us at these events: flowtoys.com/events
We made this festy round-up video highlighting people playing - lots of flowtoys, but also lots of other props and generally showcasing the flow arts in the festival scene. We're striving to create a greater presence for the flow arts at festivals. Imagine inspiring flow zones, interactive installations, lots of play samples and instructors, line-ups of awesome spinners on beautiful illuminated stages - sky's the limit. Let's make it happen!

Wow, there's so many variations of flow I never knew about until I watched this video. I love the promotion for flow at festivals. It's always fun to compare poi and watch other people's style.
love flowtoys!!
me too really cool!!!!
Thank you for your support! Look forward to being at festivals again :)
I saw tons of people spinning during deadmau5 at Bonnaroo 2015. A month or so later, I found this video and ordered a pair of Podpoi. Spinning is HIGHLY addictive in a good way! Also, it's a great family activity that doesn't involve cell phones or television. Learn it, share it and enjoy it :)
+showmyoface - we absolutely agree with you! :)
Beautiful video guys! :D
Thanks Flowtoys for being so awesome and the best customer service I've had. Anytime something goes wrong you fix it in no time. much
they are flow-wands - they are super fun and pretty easy to learn (short and gentle learning curve compared to most other props). You can get them on our website under levitation wands :)
Gorgeous video. AMAZING music.Transcended expectations. Keep up the great work.
BEAUTIFUL!
awesome . more please!
Love it!
Wow, these are so cool.
Sweet! I made the flow show
I agree I bet you guys would make beautiful hoops!
I really hope I can be there sometime, it looks amazing
Seen alot of spinners at Life in color Miami this year
💜
Nice edit John
+flowtoys thank you!!
Verry nice ;)
Merryweather
Fantastic!
What is this majestic wheel at 2:05 and where can I get one?
It's a sun wheel 🤗 it's also the whole reason I'm here lolol. It's called a vadda chakkar too 💖
Do you think you guys might be able to come down to Florida in the future?
fez If we can make it, we'd love to!
flowtoys yes please come to floridaaaa
Amazing Video! I got my first flowtoy little less than a year ago and i still love it!
I don't suppose you ever make your way to Europe, right? If so, I'm buying a ticket to whatever festival you're at!
And I've seen the question a couple times below, but what's the prop at 2:05 ? It looks really interesting!
Anyways. Keep up the good work and spreading the flow throughout the world. You make it a brighter and shinier place!
We went to Europe in the early days of flowtoys, but keep a lot closer to home these days. We have a kid, a warehouse space to build out and more things that keep us anchored to home, though we hope to be able to venture out again sometime. I can't remember the name of that prop off the top of my head, but it's from India :)
I understand completely. I'll just have to cross the Atlantic some time then! And i found the name thanks to knowing it's from India!
It's a Chakar.
Aw, I was hoping to see some contact staff footage
When are you guys gonna make a flowtoys hoop?!?!? :D
how do i join!? lol seriously tho
Awesome video! What is that toy at 2:06 (the big net Hoop looking toy) I saw that in a very strange Indian video a while back and have been trying to find one since. Thank you so much!
***** - it is from India, but I can't remember the name either. I will ask if I come across it again.
Found it Gatka Chakkar or Chakar! There is even a Fire Chakar, look for the video by "Freaks on Fire" "The Mighty Chakar". They look easy enough to make. But I also did find both for sale online.
What is the flowy dress thing at 3:15?
Hi Marley - those are dancing wings - our friend makes some really beautiful ones and you can get them here www.dancingwings.com/ .. hope this helps!
Thank you!
Do you happen to have any festivals in New Mexico. ?
Hi Summer- We are not doing any New Mexico events this year. Are there great ones that you would recommend we consider? You can check out the events we will be at/ were at here: www.flowtoys.com/events/ - have an awesome summer ;)
What is the guy spinning at 2:05 - 2:07?
Yes interesting
I am a truck driver(so I am everywhere, at anytime), but I am slowly becoming interested in these things, how would I go about getting something small to start out with?
+Nikkiye Dettle - Hi Nikkiye - Most people start with "poi" or "staff". We have a brief guide here explaining the various props: www.flowtoys.com/chooseyourflowtoys/ and lots of inspirational videos on our UA-cam channel. I would recommend starting out with poi - our most popular poi are the podpoi. They are also work great as mood lights. Feel free to email us at info@flowtoys.com if you need more guidance.
do poi
woahhh what was that thing at 2:07!!!
where could i get something like their wearing at 3:15, i dont even know where to begin loooking someone help ? :D
Are you referring to the girls spinning poi or the wings? Girl spinning poi - rust colored hoodie dress is from inkspoon. The wings are from dancingwings (dot) com - many of our friends make awesome clothing and gear. Feel free to email us and tell us what you are interested in and we can point you in the right direction.
i was referring to the wings, thank you!

Hi Brooke, There are a couple of shots of gents with double staffs. We have a variety of staff options that can be used as doubles.
