I’ve spent most of the last two weeks building more stable / more accurate backward Figure Eights and Serpentine Change of Edges. I have focused intensely on keeping my body aligned over the axis, bending and straightening my leg in perfect alignment, using my body parts in isometric ways, keeping my body parts close to my body, creating powerful pushes, improving balance; and slowing things down to the point I can place each blade precisely. The work has been difficult and challenging, but also deeply rewarding as I discover new things in my body through movement. And the tracings have been improving just enough to keep me motivated. Here is a record of my recent work:
I made some videos discussing what I’ve been doing inside, I hope these are useful and interesting.
