Brettstar (Adelaide) - Dragonstaff, Contact Staff, Acro Staff, SOSC
In the Worlds before Brettstar, primal chaos reigned.
Spinning sought order, but the Dragon may roll only when its ways are known.
The two poi span again and yet again,
As endless aeons span and antispan.
Time and the pure essences of kevlar,
The moistures of the isopar,
And the powers of the Thrust and the Burnoff,
All worked upon double contact staff,
And it became magically fertile.
That first egg was named flow,
Tathagata Buddha, the Father Buddha,
Said, 'With our flow we make awesome tech.'
Elemental spin moves caused the egg to hatch,
from it then came a lanky hippy.
The nature of Brettstar was irrepressable!
Born from an egg on a mountain top,
BrettStar is one king that ever rocked,
He knew every magic trick under the sun,
Teased the Lobo and everyone, and had some fun.
Monkey magic, Monkey magic,
Monkey magic, Monkey magic,
Monkey magic, Monkey magic oohh!
BRETTSTAR WORKSHOPS
Intermediate Contact Staff:
Been introduced to your staff already? Perhaps you would just like to take your causal relationship that little further now. After a quick blast through the fundamentals, we will work on transitions linking movements and improving on what you have already. Hopefully with some time for us to all share some of our favourite bits.
Beginner Double Contact Staff:
Workshop will introduce Staff on Staff Contact (SoSC) with traps, staff swapping and bits and bobs of interest. No experience necessary, but would certainly help.
Double Contact Folding:
The fundamental folding technique will be taught, a technique that involves using both staffs without the use of gripping them with your hands. From here we will explore variations, related movements and introduce you to this new world in contact.

Jed Fowler (WA)- Dragon Staff, Whip Cracking
"Mr Jedly has a pretty face…but wait, there’s more….he’s also damn good a pretty much everything! It’s actually quite irritating. There’s almost nothing you can teach him that he doesn’t know already, or, more annoyingly, he’ll pick it up straight away and do it better than you! Don’t teach him anything. Keep your best moves to yourself. Best not to attend his workshops either, as your brain will hurt and may explode from the effort."
