Starting rehearsals for The Flying Nut

We found out today what acts we will be working on in the NECCA winter show, The Flying Nut. Protrackers will be performing a rope act, a hoop diving act, a trapeze act and a dance acro act. I'll be in the dance acro act with 5 other students in my program. I am super excited to start rehearsals on Tuesday. The final show will include acts by NECCA students and guest performers of all ages and various levels of skill. It should be pretty great.

Yesterday we had classes in single point trapeze and German wheel. Learned that wheel is a competitive sport in Europe, and that single point involves a lot of swinging and spinning (whee!). I'm deeply distracted by the emanate decision about what to do for my major and minor acts for the final show in May. I think I want to do some sort of trapeze act, maybe single point since I love the dynamic swinging and spinning that is possible on that apparatus. Other contenders are hand balancing, wire and German wheel (totally loved my first lesson in it!). Still open to the possibility of falling in love with another discipline before we leave for winter break and have to make our final choices.

Starting to work on a duo-lyra act with my buddy Morgan, hopefully to perform at a Bat-mitzvah in December. If it works out it will be my first paid circus gig. Fingers crossed...
