that's AWESOME - go you! it takes forever to get to the actual trick part ... i hear if i keep breaking my body in half and taping it back togeter i'll eventually be able to levetate; tahnk you for providing a testimonial. congrats!
I took part in my very first public trapeze/rope performance last week. I may also have the opportunity to do a little bit of background circus-y atmosphere stuff at the end of the month. I don't think I'm skilled enough to do this sort of thing in front of other people just yet, but I seem be performing anyway.
tres awesome. also, I knew exactly what a double foot-lock was :)
I did every trick on the silks, then I did every trick on the rope, and then every trick on the trapeze. Then I walked on water and I glowed with pride.
a) aren't those classes fabulous? when you're really ON, and everything works?
b) You're a much more well-rounded aerialist than I am. I don't do rope or tissu, just my beloved trapeze...
I was a gymnast when I was much, much younger and I took a little bit of trapeze in when I was in high school, so trapeze always made a lot of sense to me. My only real complaint about trapeze is that it took several months to build up my callouses to the point where I could stay on the bar for a reasonably long time without having my palms rip. My progress on rope and silks has been considerably slower, which is part of the reason I'm stupidly proud of myself for having mastered this one basic move.
Are you taking classes at the circus school in ess eff? If so, who's your teacher? I think I still know some people over there. Also take the occasional class with Rachel at Trapeze Arts, whom I recommend highly.
I can actually play around on the equipment now. It's kind of cool. We've all missed you terribly - it's just three of us now and class is two hours long and EP works us like mules. If you're still climbing on a regular basis, we should organize a massive group climb again sometime soon. Perhaps at the end of May when this school thing ends.

Congratulations, never. When do we get to see some of this fine acrobatic skill in action?
