Actor's Gym Day 5

Hey y'all

Want to hear about what I did today? Okay. Today we began to work on silks. Silks are the large pieces of fabric that hang from the ceiling and you do tricks on them. I'm sure you all know what I am talking about. Anyway walking into class today there were about 6 silks attached to the ceiling. All of them had large knots in the bottom. We were doing a specific kind of silks work today called the Silk Knot. This has been by far the hardest thing for me. I am not very flexible so some of the positions we have to hold just don't sit quite right. Also there are a lot of things in this that are very uncomfortable for the male species, but the assistant Amy taught me a couple alternate ways to do some moves so it wouldn't hurt as bad. Thank god for that. Elizabeth said that this came rather easy to her where I struggled pretty good with it for a while. It still needs some work, but I started getting the hag of it by the end. I have a video that I will post a link to if you want to see what it was that we did today. Tomorrow we have our circus class, and I am sure we will be doing more of this. I love these classes, but I am worn out today...

Here's the video

Goodnight everyone.
