9 months of flow

been working out of my black book; doing lots of choreography. Since i last blogged:
- finished trio with jim and katy; recorded and modified for mosaic. this was an excellent opportunity to cut out the sections that didn't work as effectively -- all the tiny stuff, for one thing, and the sections where we weren't doing anything apparently related from audience perspective;
- finished first duet (tease) with James -- performed 4 times; union square on video no less. yeah!
- began work with Khan on our piece; Ian on our piece; jim on a duet; katy on a hoop duet; new piece with james; start of synthesis...

recently playing with, poi:
- antispin OH W -- just a smidge tonight
- antispin side plane 4 petal turn around -- big progress tonight; first time i got right arm turning left ... almost got left arm turning left
- split direction 4 petal antispin TA
- antispin Archer(L) OH to Archer(R) UH fountain
- 9 oclock UH stall reverse pull
- L arm drags
- pendulums
- btb UH W double stall BR/reverse combo
- drop stall carry L hand
- coo-coo "atomic"
- split time split direction
- same time
- btb left turn
- CW waist wrap
- ccw waist wrap
- split direction waist wrap
- split time split direction weave
- front plane flower turn around
- split directtion 4 petal TTN-ish/front plane flower thingie. that's a technical term. geez, WTF to call it?
- isolations
- 1 petal flower
- extended PW TA
- TTStop
- open spinning buzzsaws
- integrating all the tech stuff i've learned
- more TA
- turning R
- timing, timing, timing.
- more dancing
- kicks

staff:
- did my first long staff burn with forest at Nimby
- isolations

FIRE:
- nimby burn with Niko, Aurora, Hunter -- EGADS! fire orgy!

double staff:
- static style -- staves stay in plane with each other and less movement of staves, more movement of body

hoop:
- BR verticle
- ride the horse verticle walk through
- lasso lower to knees
- isolations
- horizontal isolations
- body duckout
- body duckin
- antispin -- all points: below waist, on shoulders
- plane shift from horizontal to verticle
- verticle duck in/ duck out
- horizontal duck/duck out

Poi-la-Hoop:
- passing poi through hoop
- antispin
- spirals
- bz spin and antispin with hoop spin and antispin

birthday performance; moves

boob fell out again. shelf bra sewn in? should work.

best integration of technical and dance so far. feedback: i was holding back too much; not funky enough.

fan kick

pirouette turn

btb concentric circle transition?

concentrations: 2 new ones?

i hadn't included the "fakey" stuff before. silly me. it has to be it's own concentration in the where it is located category.

and then there is the outline work.
