Last night at silks class was stinking hot with Sydney having one of it’s typically erratic weather days of 30+ degrees, which has plummeted to 23 or so today. I would never have dreamt that the weather could play a significant role in circus arts before starting these classes nearly two and a half years ago but the hot weather last night was greatt because it meant we didn’t slide on the fabric much at all.
We were at the midway point of term last night and it’s time to start working on our routines. Most of the time we aim for a new routine or if you are working on something to go to the public with, refine that. I’ve been wanting to do a routine to Gotye’s “Heart’s a mess” for a while now and am finally having a go at it. The video above is only four and a half minutes but the version on the album is six minutes which is a fairly long routine but I’m looking forward to seeing if I can do it.
At the end of the class last night I did have a bit of a minor fall. Nothing was hurt or broken and it was more of an unplanned slip, drop and unwrap kinda trick gone wrong situation but I was only a couple of metres up rather than the 7 or so that I may have been for some other tricks.
Terrific song. Good luck putting it together! x
No, no, no! I will not allow my Brenton to be harmed whilst on the silks! It is verboten! No more of this falling crap! Not from any height what-so-evah! No darling, it is not allowed. Sorry. Uh uh. Nope. Not.
There. Are we clear? Strong grip from now on. K dear? Even on those pesky release moves. Does that make any sense?
So, tell me. Have you got everything squared away with Steve and Bruno?
