what poi can learn from glowsticking

glowstickers use a tremendous amount of contact, close to contact juggling... the glowsticks move all over their entire body.

glowstickers are coming from a place of ecstasy... they are ALWAYS moving to the rhythmn first and foremost.

glowstickers use a large number of wrap / spiral moves where the cord wraps fast then bounces, direction change, spirals back out

glowstickers have an intuitive sense of "persistence of vision" and use that well in their routines.

glowstickers use physcial lock illusions where they "place" a glowstick in a stationery position on their body, then move both their body and the other stick around this "fixed" object... this is actually a technique straight out of mime.

they move those thangs FAST.
