The top row circles determine where the dot is on the X-axis, the left row detetmines where it is on the Y-axis. They’re used to show more complex harmonic motion

Poi, buugeng, fans, c-staff, double staff, sword, eating, breathing, fleshing, and the occasional H-staff!

I’ve never been able to personally get a good handle on buugeng, which makes artistry like this all the more impressive to me.  Well done Jay Firecat.

Holy shitballs, Batman.  Hiroki Kamei starts off technically impressive but theatrically slow, but if you give it a minute or two, it becomes truly brilliant.

“Lots of Things with Balls on Strings”.   I remember watching Chris practice and build his choreography for this, and watching the first live performance he ever did of it.  Talk about inspiration.

Love it.  Quinn and I have VERY similar styles, and I'm massively disappointed at how little traction this video has gotten on its own.  SO, I'm sharing it to y'all in hopes of getting some much-deserved love thrown his way in views.
