Before The Fella and I carried on with our Thanksgiving lazing and eating and researching the best ways to support the Water Protectors at Standing Rock, we took the morning to put in some time on our separate creative practices. He headed to the drum studio and I to trapeze. In addition to the static trapeze I've also been experimenting with an occasional flying trapeze class. I'm not sure how this work can or would be used in the context of Ellie's story in ELVIS (perhaps video footage?), but in the meantime its pretty exhilarating to make sure I have a few more tricks in my arsenal. Here's a splits trick I've been working on. Thanks for the catch Shane!
