forward roll x2, apple roll, single heel hang
The double forward roll! I forgot all about this, such a good trapeze-geeky thing. Also wow single heel hang. A rare and fleeting bird in my vocabulary. 0:00 “Mighty mouse” forward roll. Usually that term refers to a forward roll from standing to sitting in which you start with your elbows in front of the… Read More »forward roll x2, apple roll, single heel hang

sit, wrap up in ropes, unwind, meathook
Clara LaFrance shared some cool ropes exploration she came up with while trying to play with a trapeze hip key I had posted, and then Catherine Jett and I tried to imitate Clara’s work – which didn’t seem to translate from Clara’s single-point to our weighted static-rigged bar. But in the meantime, we got to… Read More »sit, wrap up in ropes, unwind, meathook

russian roll, knee beat to hand catch + slow mo
Since I’ve been working this knee beat to hand catch into other sequences recently, I thought I’d post this old video from the first time I worked on it. I added the slow-mo because I wanted to see exactly at what point in the beat I started to release my legs. For me the timing… Read More »russian roll, knee beat to hand catch + slow mo

knee beat to knee circle, knee beat to roll fwd to heels, knee beat to hand catch
Three little knee-beat moves I’m enjoying foam-pit access to work on. It’s sooo hard for me to progress tricks from over the pit to over lesser mats, so for now I think I want to focus on putting these into a sequence and not worry about ever doing them without the pit. Knee beat, reach… Read More »knee beat to knee circle, knee beat to roll fwd to heels, knee beat to hand catch

sit to knee beat, elbows roll forward, knee beat to hand catch
I’m excited to keeping growing this little knee beat sequence! 0:00 Sit to knee beat. I find this such a sneaky and satisfying way into a knee beat. 0:03 Hook elbows, roll forward. I just learned this reach through from a knee beat recently and I’m really enjoying it. You can do the forward knee… Read More »sit to knee beat, elbows roll forward, knee beat to hand catch

knee hang to ankles (plus playful extraneous movement)
https://vimeo.com/481029053/09bd5a1789 I tried to push myself to be playful with my musicality, dynamic timing, and the shapes of extraneous movement here (though I seem to remember this video not being that popular on Instagram at the time, which is so discouraging even though I wish I didn’t care). It’s fun to watch and I love… Read More »knee hang to ankles (plus playful extraneous movement)

pullover, back balance, hip hang, compass, off the back, back planche
https://vimeo.com/481029670/879eb657b4 Wow, past Megan – this sequence starts so unassuming and becomes impressively burly! (Well, burly for present Megan…) 0:00 Pullover to back balance. I’m on a low trapeze where I can reach high up the ropes while still standing, so this isn’t too hard. (It can also be done—not by me!—with hands on bar,… Read More »pullover, back balance, hip hang, compass, off the back, back planche

pigeon, alligator, lion roll, elbow circles
This starts with an old familiar sequence (well, very familiar to me anyway, because it’s been in more than one act of mine), but it’s fun to see the formalistic playfulness with tempo and pacing. And then, I forgot that the unwind into amazon could push back so nicely into a setup for a lion… Read More »pigeon, alligator, lion roll, elbow circles

crochet spin, split in rope, spiral to amazon/gazelle
https://vimeo.com/481028465/8b296f6465 This is some experimental ropes stuff I haven’t played with since this video. It is ripe for further exploration — I hope some of you will give it a go! (It is also ripe for a deep dive, or several, cause there are lots of interesting things going on here. Stay tuned!) 0:00 Straddle… Read More »crochet spin, split in rope, spiral to amazon/gazelle
