Earlier this month I got to go spend a day wandering around a full-sized recreation of a Viking longship--huzzah! The ship is called Draken Harald Hårfagre and it was docked at the DC Wharf for a week. After exploring it, I took some time to reflect on a successful failure and what it means for myself and my audience. Do I owe it to my audience to produce content that I don't like or am I being a self-indulgent artist to pursue only content that I really find challenging? It's an open question and I'd love to know your thoughts. Here are a few of the things I talked about in this video: DrexFactor Flow Enthusiasts Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2014921685452341/ Drex Poi Dancing to "Broken" by lonelytheband: https://youtu.be/Idq47g1HFGk Visual Poi Flow: https://youtu.be/D3UGRGYfRf8 New to poi?
