Made some round blocks for a former colleague to replace the crappy and too small blocks that came with her canes set. I had to make them considerably larger per her request and also needed to bore a hole in one of them to house the ratchet on her turning cane.

A few of us were lucky enough to catch CirqueUS Stories last night! We only found out less than two hours before the show - but hey, improv means "yes, and" so off we went to enjoy aerial acrobatics, tumbling, comedy, and more!

All the fun of the fair without the cruelty.
Germany's Roncalli circus has replaced live animals with holograms of elephants, lions, and other exotic creatures.
Due to concerns over animal welfare, the circus stopped using lions and elephants in its shows in 1991. But it went further in 2018 and completely removed live animals from its programme.
"It is no longer appropriate for Roncalli to show real animals in the ring".

Floating around yesterday #circus
This is quite an easy pose on rope, and I’ve probably been doing it for 16 years now, but it’s still one of my favorites. The expansiveness. The release of my hands. It feels like floating.
Dear advertisers,
Do you know what happens when I'm forced to watch one of your ads? I pay attention to the three-ring circus that goes on in my head, or I parody your ad on the spot. Witness the #spoofs I have on #PeerTube:

Due to travel and illness I was away from my rope for 3 weeks. Coming back is always tricky: the desire to make up for lost time has to be balanced with easing the body back into practice. Today didn’t feel great but the work got some. Here’s a (sped up) clip from today’s work on my act: https://youtube.com/shorts/1UqcdyinZJc

1-2 years ago I shared a rough draft of a video project I was working on during the pandemic. That project is finally done and can be found here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TlHmDoTHz0
I don't think I understood how hard that time was for me until I looked back, particularly via the lens of this project. I don't know what I would have done without art during those years.
Are you #twitterdown with the twitter clown?
Aerial stuff: I usually share sped-up videos to capture as much as possible. This video, however, is real-time. I've been doing a lot of movement research to improve the initial climb on my act. This video summarizes nearly two hours of work today to find nuance in these movements. It's not even close to "done," but you can, perhaps, see progress, if you've been watching other videos. It will take me many more months to really get this to the level I want. #circus https://www.instagram.com/reel/CuADPmeg5FE/?igshid=MTI1ZDU5ODQ3Yw%3D%3D
I’ve been getting my rope act into recording shape so I can send out some audition videos to shows soon. This is the first 1/2 (sped up to fit). I’m really happy with how it’s shaping up. Also the track on this video is SUCH a good cover. #circus

Got to visit a new aerial space that just opened up in SF and jammed today; not new choreo, but even old choreo feels new in a new space 😀 Had a wonderful time! Overjoyed to see the aerial scene coming back to life again here! #circus https://youtube.com/shorts/5xz8C3OgZfw?feature=share
2nd day of the split/spagat 30-day challenge. Not sure I'll be able to perform a split in 30 days but these trainings are just 15 min long and leave you with a good feeling.
During the core pandemic years, I considered quitting rope. 😱 So glad I didn’t. Today, for whatever reason I’m going thru a big “growth spurt” in my rope training. Perhaps just due to consistency (and amazing coaches), but I’m getting skills I never thought I’d be able to do. Most of these clips from class yesterday are new skills for me, which feels very exciting after 15+ years of training. #circus https://youtube.com/shorts/rZ1U7bSFHLs?feature=share

Fun evening in my aerial class - hit a lucky night where we did all new movements! Here’s a little montage of what we covered. Lots of struggle and mental (and physical) gymnastics to figure some of these out but also lots of fun cheering each other on! #circus
Working on a new stage act (as opposed to the video work I’ve been doing in the past years). It’s starting to take shape. Acts never develop linearly. Much like software dev (for me), they come in spurts. I’ll figure out huge chunks and then nothing for months. Today, I found the beginning, which you’ll see in the start of this clip. The ending (last part), however, has been the same in almost every act I’ve had. It just feels right. #circus
Back home and back to training. Managed to find a couple pull up bars while I traveled, so I didn’t lose too much strength. Here’s a sampling from my Sunday conditioning session on straps and rope. I’m really happy with the strength and stability I’ve built in my shoulders lately. You’ll see that some of this work is only on one arm which is quite taxing, so feeling pretty good about that! #circus
Is there an AI program that will write music for me based on text based prompts yet? This could be killer for my aerial work. #circus
"Please compose a 4:30 instrumental track that sounds like My Immortal but 27% less angsty with a BPM of 132 and a 45 second bridge at 3:05."
About 90% of aerial work is finding creative/graceful ways to try to get your foot to your head. I’m not quite there on this movement yet, but you’ll see my foot get very close on the third attempt! (The class of movement is called “beats” bc they have a clear tempo). As always thanks for watching! #circus (also I love how this synced to the music 🎶)
Had a good day training handstands yesterday despite being tired - lots of body stability during leg movement! I’m constantly surprised how my body can do physical things well even though my insomnia continues. A true mystery! #circus #handstands https://youtube.com/shorts/8WdTmAgOwIU
Friend texted me this image this morning. I would say that I was a totally different person 9 years ago but ... yeah, no I'd do this now. #circus
It’s wild how much a tiny bit of work everyday can do. I haven’t been training handstands in long sessions for a while now. Instead, I just do a few per day and once/week maybe 20 minutes after another workout. But that consistency, far more than duration, has given me better progress than 2 or more 90min sessions per week. Reminds me a bit of the advice proffered in Atomic Habits. #circus

s/:Well, SOME survived. We'll find out./s
Had a really great day on rope, making progress on multiple skills and nailing down some new choreo. Love days like this!
When the pandemic began, I thought it might be a stopping point for me with rope. I’m so glad that I pushed through and kept training. I have so much more to learn.

Got a root canal this morning and wasn’t sure if rope class this evening was a good idea, but went anyway and ended up having a blast. In a way, I think being a little tired and loopy made me train better because I couldn’t overthink things. Bodies are wild. Here are some clips from class! #circus https://youtube.com/shorts/YiAbWfmlEV8?feature=share
Some recent rope improv to one of my favorite covers. Improv is by its nature completely unpolished but I love the freedom it gives me to decide where to go next as I move, to see what my body wants to do with the sounds it's hearing. #circus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXqhDMHXEZ4

Today my one rule training rope was "you have to leave with something you like;" this is where that landed: an improv'd and then workshopped sequence with some "weird" in it. I haven't quite figured out yet how I want to use the descent, but overall I "like" it and that was my goal.
It's so easy for me to train pullups and it's so damned hard for me to feel like I can/should *create* so setting tiny goals like these per session really helps.

"The crowds cheer and the curtains reveal,
Here's Johnny Strongman with a mustache deadpan,

Without hesitation he lifts the weights, with a look in the crowd to find prospective mates."

I almost skipped rope class today; I felt so tired and low, but then I went and got a bunch of little wins—old tricks I used to know and new ones I’m polishing. Even after doing this for so many years, I sometimes forget how it can bring me back from the doldrums. #circus

Often I’m super hard on myself when I’m training #circus. While it helps me keep improving, it also sometimes makes training a bit of a slog. Recently, I captured this image while I was busy telling myself “this is shit,” and I’m so happy with it. The body position is correct and long. The knees are good and I’m getting lift away from the rope. So, just a post to remind myself (and maybe anyone else like me) to find and take the wins no matter how small 😊
Conserving Calder's Circus
Whitney conservators Carol Mancusi-Ungaro & Eleonora Nagy, archivist Anita Duquette & art historian Joan Simon describe the process of restoring one of the most beloved works in the Whitney's collection, Alexander Calder's Circus. The research team enlivens the character of the #Circus through contemporary associations and offers a new look at conserving the inherent fragility of the figures that have delighted Whitney audiences for generations.
