one thing i find kinda odd is differentiating wheel and wall plane when you are spinning in a circle to create a spin with the other hand in the floor plane. I mean, it's different in terms of audience perspective, but the technique is identical
Correct. In practice the motions are the same, making less practice! There's only 96 patterns to practice if you look at it that way, orienting yourself toward the crowd (downstage in theatre terms) or stage right/left. Wheel and wall only make sense if you keep that audience perspective.
Something to consider: When doing vertical vs horizontal had paths, the "vertical" circle is actually a diagonal offset by the width of the shoulders. This is how pirouettes work naturally (see my classnotes watch?v=7D1SDuEC1BA at 8:20).
It could be fun to play with spatially isolating that plane to vertical by walking around it in such a way as to keep the shoulder of the vertical arm spatially isolated.
@AlienJon Like where you're going with this. One thing I realized is that all these atomic handpaths can be done with ballet arm formations-- Up is High fifth, down is Low fifth, left and right are second, and forward is 1st. Add turning and there you have it. Dance and Object Manipulation, fused. To be continued. . .
@SirLorq If we can make it out this year, I may have my summer cruise for school. Have they released any more information? I know it will be a few hours away from the bay this year. But a tentative date? I'll just message noel.
@bjrcboy The important date in my mind is MARCH 15th, when TICKETS GO ON SALE!!! Pleaes don't miss sitting at your computer in anticipation. Serious, dude. Serious.
@ma3lstr0m06 I practice lots in my head. Sometimes when I'm on the bus or especially on long car rides. I'll obsess and if I've had some time with the patterns lately, they'll run through the muscle memory in my head. Yeah?
Or as one dance teacher says, "imagine what it feels like to do it, what weight shifts (finger manipulations, arm circles) do you go through."

Do you spin at the vulcan? Either their juggle or poi nights? I'd like to pick your brain in person! =)

@bjrcboy Not lately. Currently stationed in Eugene, Oregon studying dance. Firedrums, then? :)

dude, i think you're taking this whole thing way too seriously :p this is totally wizard .
just out of curiosity , how many hours a day do you put into this type of thing ? I still can't do all the wallplane ones too smoothly,...
great work though, some very very interesting patterns in there. though its was out of my reach right now ^_^ .
greets from scotland.
