Welcome to the Instruments of the Now web site.
Our favorite video is posted: 'Poi Transmission' from Zan's
Arizona travels. It showcases some nice footage and new poi tech. Some great
guests are featured with their performance props, backed by some whomping
music. Worth a look. It's the second from the top in the Video
Gallery.
In the Now:
The rumors are true. A second instructional Poi DVD "The
Encyclo-Poi-dia volume 2" is RELEASED! When you order it
here it will ship to you right away. This DVD is a major step forward in poi
instruction, combining over 20 chapters of in-depth instruction with computer
animation to simplify complex poi techniques and theories. The instruction
will be interspersed with interviews and footage of some of the world's top
spinners. Everyone involved in the project is quite stoked about how great
it turned out. Click here
to see a sample from the DVD. Also, the Primer
video is posted, featuring deleted scenes, unused interviews, and other poi
footage. Poi guru 'Alien Jon' joined the DVD team to really push the limits
of what's possible. Watch the Trailer below to see for yourself
how it looks (and click the "HQ" icon to watch high quality):
Instruments of the Now just put on possibly its best show ever at 'Tsunami on the Square' in June 2009.
Zan and Noah Moore, Anetta Lucero and Aurora performed a series of partner acts including partner-acrobatics and
fire-dancing duets. Here's what some audience members had to say:
"I thought you guys were amazing and hands down
the most impressive, entertaining, and beautiful show I have ever seen."
"I was
amazed at the dances, the music, the discipline, and the message of
working to one's highest potential. Your show is hopeful and
inspirational. Thank you!"
Last year the Instruments of the Now completed our largest project ever:
Tour Now & Then 2008. For two years running we directed a
non-profit motivational circus project for diabetic kids' summer camps, performing
for thousands of kids in more than 25 states and provinces. New videos are
up on the Video Updates page to give you a feel
for the project. They're fun, wacky, and have some great clips from our black-light
stage show.
Zan now lives in Mosier, Oregon between travels where he fits a training regimen
into his daily routine. This summer, he's going on a two month street-performing tour of Europe. Noah is in Hawaii, on the Big Island working on some
new performance partner-acrobatic material. Here's a video of it: Watch
