I ran across a cool performance video of Yuta in the Flowspace last week that reminded me of something I'd begun playing with months ago but hadn't pursued very far: moves that involve wrapping one or both poi around their own hand. I spent a good portion of the weekend playing around with these moves in same time same direction and split time same direction, pulling out some moves I've seen both Ronan and Yuta do in their performances as well as and idea of my own. Granted, this is not the techiest stuff on the planet, but I think it works well in a performance context for focusing an audience's attention on a single point.
