HOOP PAINTING! from katherine blackburne on Vimeo.
Combining two passions, completing the circle.
Hooping/ Painting/ Film : Katherine Blackburne

Commitment is a beautiful thing. It’s so much easier to half ass just about anything. It takes a leap of faith and even more importantly, an exposing of vulnerability to fully commit to any creative act. It’s the only way to create anything of value though.
When we hoop… we can do a move… or we can DO A MOVE. Breakdancers are the first example popping to my mind. If you haven’t seen “Planet B-Boy“, rush to go see that film. Every movement is fully committed. That’s what makes them so exceptional.
You can see that ever so clearly with hoopers. I think we often fear fully committing to a move because it requires the acceptance of exposing the limit of our ability. If I show you the best of myself then you have the position of knowing my limit. I’ve shown you my edge.
This is the most powerful act we can share and the path to creating powerful poetic moments.
