Who is Tiana?
Tiana is one of the most exciting hoopers on the planet. Fact!
Incredibly talented and consistently unique she has taken the hoop world by storm over the last few years.
Also known as her youtube name “Wantonamara”. Every video she releases is crammed full of novel material and Hooping Mad is VERY pleased to say she’s coming to Bristol to teach a couple of workshops and introduce the UK hoopers her style of hooping.

Body-Hoop Connection
11.30am – 1.30pm – Workshop 1 (Please arrive by 11.20am)
Sunday 22nd January 2012
Sports Centre, Artspace Lifespace College, Bedminster, Bristol.
Using the natural lines and limits of the body to give structure and strength to our movements. Moving from head to toe to discover the channels and pathways which can be opened up to motivate fluid movement. By honing our awareness of these stopping points, channels and tracks we will enhance our ability to dance and create a dynamic connection between our bodies and the hoop. Take this class with your most comfortable hoop, preferably one which can be easily manipulated off body. i.e. lighter)
Personifying Energy, Manipulating Space
2.30pm – 4.30pm – Workshop 2 (Please arrive by 2.20am)
Sunday 22nd January 2012
Sports Centre, Artspace Lifespace College, Bedminster, Bristol.
Giving texture to space through different manipulation techniques as well as exploring the personification of energy applied to the hoop and letting the relationship unfold. Focused on the visualization of expressive energy, which is informed by the music you listen to and the way you’re inspired to move. This means releasing preconceptions and embrace that at any moment there are infinite ways to bend, pop, and move through the space. By heightening our abilities to create varying textures within space we will discover new ways to personify music and open up new pathways to flow. The hoop brings with it an array of energetic and geometric possibilities that becomes a partner you can lead, follow and create a dynamic and expressive story with. Beat punctuation isn’t something forced, but something followed. We will be listening to banging music and harnessing our inner flow-bots, ninja-rinas, and hoop-gicians. Take this workshop with a single mini, minis and a regular hoop.
