1. What are the easy-to-remember ingredients of your loop? (this could be movements/ actions/ images)
Pigeon, melt, rotisserie chicken, armpit, compact push-up
2. Describe your process. How did you choose the parts? How was your experience leading up to filming this? What did you need to do to get in the right state of body/mind/spirit to Flow?
I started my creative process with movement that already made me feel good and felt natural to me. I attempted transitions from being face up to face down and sliding through the floor. My experience leading up to filming was to remind myself that I should be enjoying the process and acknowledge how much the floor and I grew together over the last few months. I also remembered to move with intention and to try to stick with the positions I ended up in as much as I could. In order to prepare to be in the right state to flow, I moved a lot prior to recording, I spent a lot of time exploring and doing things other than the loop I had planned.
3. What felt good (or provided a healthy challenge) in this loop video experience?
It felt good to have to create my own loop and think about what concept I wanted to flow into. Exploration and trial and error were really fun to play with. It was amazing to see how one can make things connect to create a loop and how in reality anything could be a loop.
4. If there is ONE thing that you would do differently, what is it?
I would increase the difficulty as I get more comfortable with the loop and add more levels.
5. What did you learn from this experience that you will apply to your own training or teaching?
Allow time for creativity. Don’t limit moves and don’t ignore comfortable spots because they make up really good transitions.
