The modernity of dance and Hoop practice encompasses my years of
dance and vocal studies. Hearing and weaving
the music into the patterns of body movements, esp. hips, arms and feet in
tandem, enhances the complexity of a simple circular object---the weighted
Hoop. Sustaining the anti-gravity
on-waist and hip level rotations require coactivation of core and subtle whole
body moves. Fusing speed, paucity and
tempo create the illusory difficulty of my Hooping skills.
In addition, my usage of props and their various elements of
weight, texture & sound i.e. large scarves, performance fans, drumsticks,
leather soled shoes, piano bench and Bosu Ball, augment the synchrony of breath
and bodywork.
The more that I teach and innovate in my weekly/pop-up classes
and solo performances, the more that I am inspired to fuse my various Hoop/Dancing
skills into a cohesive visual art form.
Holistic Hoop is my niche.
