5th entry for December 18th







Some more 2- and 3- minute poses, and a 5-minute pose. A- was experimenting with different ways & locations of support - neck, shoulders, waist, legs, etc.
Having the 2 silks hanging down meant there were a lot of options in terms of levels. One thing that impresses me is how one can wrap the silks around a limb and use the tension to support it.

These sessions are different from an aerial act inasmuch as they are more about the static moments, rather than the transition from position to position. When I'm drawing, I use the moments it takes the person to move as extra shading time. In a circus performance, there are the 2 sets of aesthetics on display: movement throgh space and static poses.
