2015 LED Flow Jam & nExtpo*

Flowtoys and Temple of Poi bring you a superhero flow team up for this evening of play, education, expression, performance, exploration and glowing fun at the 2015 LED Flow Jam & nExtpo on Saturday, April 25 from 6:30 – 11:30 PM on the median across from Justin Herman Plaza, San Francisco, CA.

The schedule follows:

• 7 – 8:30 PM: Flow Jam* — come by and practice, play, watch, interact with others and have some flow fun. No experience necessary.
• 7:45 – 8:15 PM: Introduction to Poi Fire Dancing Class with Temple of Poi founder, GlitterGirl. We have the poi, you bring the willingness to be hit with them and together we’ll get you started on a life altering journey that may even lead to fire dancing one day*.
• 8:30 – 9:15 PM: Flow Down Showcase: Join Bay Area artists and special guest Thomas Nevisoul for an array of LED and UV reactive fun during this flow dancing exhibition. Bring a blanket and chair so you can be comfortable during the show and so people in the front can be low enough to not block those standing. Bring layers as it tends to get windy on the plaza.
• 9:15 PM – 11 PM: GlowFlow Jam with Flowtoys: Flowtoys will have a few samples on hand to try during the course of the jam so stop by and experience the led magic yourself.
