2025 Instructor lineup
Lee Autore

Lee Autore is a flow artist with the Mythical Misfits Performance Troupe, and works with normal, LED, and fire versions of devil/flower sticks, staff, whips, and some simple ball juggling. He also does a variety of dance, acroyoga, singing, and improv, and is involved in several eras of reenactment and historical demonstrations.

Lee offers a beginners devil stick class, covering basics of “catch, don’t hit”, and a variety of practice methods for skill improvement. His students are typically able to do tic tocs, several flips, and a basic helicopter by the end of class, and be prepared to improve on their own.

Flowersticks: Flow, Focus, and Fundamentals
Whether you’re picking up flowersticks for the first time or looking to bring more smoothness and control to your flow, this class is for you. Taught previously in 2024 and returning by popular demand, Lee Autore offers a grounded, supportive approach perfect for beginners and intermediate spinners alike.While Lee won’t claim the flashiest tricks or most technical accolades, his real skill lies in teaching—helping newcomers find their rhythm and guiding seasoned spinners through plateaus. Expect about 15–30 minutes of structured instruction, followed by lots of hands-on troubleshooting, mutual support, and experimentation.
