Andeli (1.5 hrs)
Andeli is a creative and lively flowartist from Switzerland. Her focal point is on hoopdance (2010), poi (2000) & her new created Flow art tool SilknHoop (2018).
Andeli’s lives the life in which she perceives flow – as a gift to yourself and something to integrate into your everyday life. She speaks from the heart when she says – “Flow yourself beautiful!”
Spinning poi and dancing with the hoop, altered Andeli’s life and her love of motion and founding new movements has since been ever lasting. Her stage experience that she collected as a young girl, pushed her to perform her first fire show in 2007. Since then, she has been part of various projects, organising, teaching and performing. She currently performs professionally with the fire group Foyk and has been teaching both poi and hulahoop since 2014 in Switzerland and at international hoop conventions. She is one of the organisers of Get the Ring, Swiss Hulahoop Convention and influences the Swiss Hulahoop Community by organising Events and Workshops in Switzerland.

Her background in physical theatre shines through in her mesmerising style, as does her keen interest in contemporary dance and circus. Jennie has been hooping since 2011, and teaching since 2015.
Intro to mandala drawing with Amanda (1 hr)
Amanda lives in the Studio in the Sky in Brighton where she makes patterns and illustrations using computers and paintbrushes. She has a degree in Fine Art Screen Printing from Chichester University and an HND in Architectural Stained-Glass Techniques from the North East Wales Institute.
Her work has been featured as part of the Brighton’s Alternative Art Trail and recently she was shortlisted for the Make it in Design Scholarship and Martlets Snail Space. Along with being a mother and grandmother, Amanda is a mindfulness practitioner who runs art groups and mandala workshops for stress reduction. She has held mandala-drawing workshops in the UK and Spain where she taught free flow mandala drawing for meditation.
In 2017, she finished a 1000-day drawing challenge where over the course of three years she completed one drawing every day. This challenge inspired a deep connection with the creative process and helped her on my path to artistic happiness. Amanda has also been hulahooping since 2011.
