Sem-Poi @ Urbanscapes '09

Sem-Poi (along with our Poi-O friends) was on scene at Urbanscapes '09. We were invited to play at KLPAC by KLue through our good friends at Kendama.my (can't thank eDosh enough for helping us out!). The event itself was a huge success, and I'd like to think that our performance was definitely an eye-catcher which drew quite a big crowd. Big ups to everyone who showed up to give us their support!

We gathered near the KLue booth and the Kendama.my booth by about 5-6 pm. Had a warm-up intrusion session with Tugu Drum Circle (they were playing and we entered the circle with sock pois spinning). Then we had our own warm-up session on the grassy area nearby to where the drum circle was held. Even when we playing our sock pois, we started drawing quite a crowd of photographers and passers-by. Our first performance commenced at around 8pm, and we had our second and final show at 9pm.

Sem-Poi Crew involved: Alif, Adrian, Sobhi, Kammy, Fariz, Zul, Francis, Tarquin
Also present: Poi-O (Jiman, Cindy), Liyana, Ida, Charmaine
