Richard Porter at the February Rumpus

Julie Greicius bio ↓  ·  January 27th, 2010  ·  filed under art

Most people would be content to watch Richard Porter watching paint dry. But at the next Monthly Rumpus on February 8th, Rich—who is Hooping.org’s male hooper of the year—will storm the stage with his stunning talent as a hoopdancer.

By day, Richard Porter makes a living as an architect, a career initially inspired by his love of libraries. The precision of his design talents shines through in his other life as an expert and pioneer in hoopdance. Rich blogs at Isopop.com, and, together with the incredible Vival Spiral, has developed Hoop Technique, a new movement in hoopdance instruction. And he’s just one of the incredible performers at the next Monthly Rumpus–one you won’t want to miss. Get tickets here. Video and images after the jump.
