Flow Arts is a
general term used to describe the intersection of
a variety of movement-based disciplines including dance, juggling,
fire-spinning, and object manipulation. The broad category Flow Arts includes a variety of pursuits that
harmonize skill-based techniques with creative expression to achieve a
state of present-moment awareness known as Flow.
Common forms of Flow Arts include
Poi & Staff spinning, hula hoop (or “hooping”), juggling, sphere
manipulation (or “contact juggling”), and fan dance.
New props and expressions are emerging all the time as flow artists
cross pollinate with martial arts, yoga, circus, belly dance, and
beyond.
