-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Golden Week Guru-guru Camp
April 28 – May 5, 2011 @ Niijima Campground • FREE!
Hop the ferry south from Tokyo to Niijima for a Golden Week getaway. We’ll hoop and spin our toys on the beach and in the grassy campground. Stay one night or all week; it’s up to you. Non-campers can stay at one of the island’s many ryokan.
Themed hoop workshops every morning! Afternoons and evenings we can do more workshops (✫), chill out, spin out, or whatever. There’s great cycling on Niijima, plus surfing, glass art, and plenty of space to relax, explore, and enjoy. Hoop workshop themes might include: circus style; flailing and failing; silent meditations; leaps and bounds; dance ideas; games; choreography… all to be decided with details to come. Hoop, poi, staff, juggling, fire and other spinners all welcome. Non-spinning friends, too.
