Jonsing for Some Trapeze
I am going through trapeze withdrawal. I haven’t been to a class in a week and half. My callouses are disappearing. I miss the bruises and sore muscles. I did some sun salutations yesterday and pathetically, my anterior deltoids are tender, tender, tender.
We went out last night and all I could think about when I looked around is what I could hang from. There was a great rig set up that would have been ideal for trapeze. There was a rope sculpture that I’m sure could have been climbed. I want to climb a rope. Badly.
My family has accepted my trapeze obsession. Mom and Dad got me a package of lessons for Christmas. Ryan gave me several books on trapeze (I’ve already read 2 of them) plus a pull-up bar. W00t! One of my goals for 2009 is to be able to do one pull up from a dead hang.
Also, 7 Doigts de la Main is coming to London in Feb/March with Traces. Dan, Nadia and I are planning to go. Shana Carroll is with this troupe. I posted this fantastic video of hers in an earlier blog post.
It’s been several days since I’ve looked for new videos and found this one. I’ve seen some of Amanda Crockett’s comedy trapeze routines, but this is the first fancy solo one. She is very inspiring.
