In this episode listen to a conversation with Troy Grisa, a flow arts fanatic currently living in Portland, Oregon. Troy picked up spinning poi in college and has been going ever since, learning one or two new props each year. He took his art-form to a professional level working as a performer for 3 years in Florida at various events ranging from weddings to luaus, to birthdays and community events. Troy was a high school teacher for 4 years during which he incorporated flow arts into his lesson breaks! Now, you can find him working on his flow arts poetry and crafting a new flow arts blog as he serves the community with involvement, passion, and gusto.
