This was a pivotal time in my life. Working in a big show in Las Vegas was a culmination in a series of events and tests that I passed as a teenager. I was driven relentlessly to succeed in life and most of all, I strived to be one of the best handbalancers in the world, which is no small task by any means. This was also the time when despite winning big on the surface, I was a lost soul deep d...

Importance of staying SHARP in your Handstand Training
Переглядів 699Рік тому
Without FOCUS and INTENTION, hand balance training can prove more challenging than we'd like it to be. It's like a gamble where you may or may not hit the jackpot. When you "win the lottery" the dots connect and you get a breakthrough. However, "lottery" isn't a consistent pattern of growth we want, it's a play of chance. Being clear on "WHY" makes the "HOW".

    Artistry based on Lines and Circles..... and the flow between them was AMAZING amazing amazing.... the athleticism to create the lines and circles was AMAZING amazing amazing. LOVE it... BUT.. I still argue that artist in general in today's time are their own curse. Artist complain that they don't get enough public interest in their amazing art form... nor get enough appreciation etc etc. (all true)....... but performances like this do absolutely NOTHING to help this... its preaching to the choir.... Its performances that speaks a language only a very very very miniscule number of people even understand... (and half of them just pretend they do as a virtue signal).. Average person.. just get lost. Like Filipino who only speaks Tagalog in Russian Airport.... their lost and all they want to do is get the hell out of there. To spread the amazing joy and to build the audience who respect the art and might even think about themselves or their children becoming trained in the art we need performances that tell stories the average person can follow along as the story winds thru..... not very complex artistic interpretations of "The human species and Its Frailties"..... Simple stories.. and even offer aids to help the non language speaker follow the story. (Why Cirque Du Soleil guides the story their show tells in their brochures. Giving insight to what each act in the show portrays and how it ties to the whole story) For the love of The arts..... choreographers and performers.... PLEASE..... get to Simple stories like Aesop's fables, Birth from Caterpillar to Butterfly..... Death of a loved one? My damn car broke down lol. Otherwise you're just helping to bring the art you love closer to extinction.

      I disagree completely about your conclusion. It is our responsibility as a society, all of us, to teach every other one of us to value beauty. To cherish it and admire it. To praise the wonder workers and to work what wonder we can upon this world. We must all participate, not place the responsibility on the shoulders of others. Share, like, subscribe. Get the algorithm fired up. Show people this work. Scream from the roof tops.

      Is this truly the venue? I would also add, many people don't need to understand the story to enjoy the performance, especially with shorter content. They simply enjoy the artistry and skill. Another thing to think about, people can create their own narrative/story. Just because it's not the one the artist intends (usually) doesn't mean it is any less valid or impactful.

    Love hand balancing.... this is a beautiful paired acrobatic performance. Was missing a little connection between the pair though IMHO. Flawless technique. Still though my common complaint. NO CONVEYANCE TO THE AUDIENCE A STORY. Movement Art is a body language a rare few speak. Because so few speak it the story has to be EXTREMELY obvious. Otherwise to the audience it is just a series of gorgeous movements in a row. IMHO many choreographers that is all they create and they are full of shiat when they claim particular patterns of the whole thing are to express a particular emotion orrr event...... Just pretentious babble.
