Quick Update

I'm going to be posting an awesome post tomorrow featuring new pictures, video and some commentary of what happened at the end of last week and the beginning of this week.
But, to keep your minds intrigued until then: here is a picture from today.
Jamie is having us experiment with multiple people on fabrics, sharing fabrics, and using them in new and unusual ways as preperation for our act for the "Flying Nut" the circus school's version of the holiday Nutcracker performance. Intensives (my program) is going to be the constellations in the night sky (there's 12 of us, zodiac). Oh, quick preface, the show is a riff on the nutcracker, but it takes place out in the woods and has a totally different storyline. Ok, it has NOTHING to do with the nutcracker.
But here's this incredible creation Cooper, Christi, Eileen and I came up with all morning, and got this picture.
Quick description of what is going on, both me and Cooper have wrapped one of our own strands of fabric and one of eachothers' fabric (loosely so that provides the two slings in the middle to sit on) strands around our legs in what is called "Catcher's Lock" (relatively stable, though we still feel pressure when weight it put onto it). Then Eileen climbed up to the top sling via the bottom sling, and Christi got up into the bottom sling.
