they see me rollin'

We are moving and rolling! I was not anticipating the soreness I am feeling from doing somersaults, but lo and behold, I am sore. Specifically, my lower back is sore. I don't know what I was thinking or expecting, but I really wasn't expecting soreness lol. 

I am having a lot of fun with the things we're doing though. I've never done any dance classes or anything with the body, but I do enjoy moving my body. Whenever I've been in a show, I've always enjoyed learning and doing choreography, I enjoy running and other various activities that push the body, etc. Doing light tumbling has been really exciting for me. There have definitely been moments of fear or hesitation, but it's mostly excitement. Nervousness and excitement are just the same emotion though, just perceived differently given your perspective and circumstance.

Trying out the dive rolls yesterday was super fun for me. There are obviously lots of things to fix on it, but I think I'm headed in the right direction? My biggest thing is I don't know how to adjust things while I'm in the middle of doing them . Like, I know I have to bring my legs together when I do the dive roll, but I don't know how to do that in the middle of it? Same thing with cartwheels. Am I fully extending my legs? How can I tell I am? How do I fix it in the middle of the action? Maybe it's something that will come with practice and as I become more aware of my body but yeah.

update

    I thought I would just create this little update to show that yes, I am still alive, and kinda show where I'm at in my process with my movement project and all that fun stuff.     So I have decided for sure about the subject of my movement project, as well as the music I will be using. My piece is going to be about the wind and the sun (more details about that to follow) and the piece I will be using is The Enchanted Garden from Ravel's Mother Goose Suite.     I have been having a really hard time mapping out what I'll be doing in the piece, however. I have the idea of this relationship between the sun and the wind that have given me a few ideas, but it's still too vague and I'm finding myself with a lot of dead space as well as rushing transitions before the same transitions happen in the music. So I've been scratching my head trying to figure out how to fix this, and I think I have a solution. I am going to write the story of the sun and the wind like...

symbiosis? i haven't heard that name in years

    Okey dokey artichokey. Symbiosis. Yes. Cause I definitely know what that word means... This is one of those words that I can vaguely recall learning about in a middle school science class, but the word itself is. Forgotten. Lost knowledge. My own personal, burnt, destroyed Library of Alexandria.       So before I looked up the definition on Google, the first thing I was thinking of was two organisms living together in some way. I was initially thinking it was one of those relationships where one party benefits, and the other neither benefits nor is harmed in the relationship. But after looking it up, symbiosis is, " interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association, typically to the advantage of both." or, " a mutually beneficial relationship between different people or groups." Coolio. That's what Google has to say about the definition, but what are my thoughts on it?     When I think of symbiosis, I think of ...
