happy autumn!
the trees are starting to turn here, and the weather is driving me mad. cool mornings, hot afternoons, and rainy evenings.
circus updates:
i really need to work on my hip flexors' strength. straddle inversions are really important... who knew that circusing would mean spending a lot of time upside down?
my partner in silks today... really really cute, flexible gymnast. the quiet type. hmmm :)
...i can't tell if he's gay. i think that's a common circus-world issue. sighh
i'm having a great time imagining a circus show for the fall of next year. the images i see are incredible, fantastical; i just wish i knew how to put them on paper. my notes consist of nonsensical phrases and mini sketches. perhaps if i become less shy, i will post them at some point. maybe that's a step in the artist's way. if i make it to that chapter, i'll be sure to share.
Lise, a friend of mine, a dancer, has invited me and a few other girls in joining her bellydance on Friday nights. Although I was a bit opposed to the idea at first (mainly just embarrased, really), I actually had a great time. I'm learning to divide my body into parts and to explore the range of movement in isolated sections-- mainly hips and chest, obviously, but overall a great exercise to introduce me to body-awareness.
i miss home, but starting to make friends here is helping.
