Shakti and Luna pull out all the stops for this performance at the Rothbury Festival. They even incorporated some of the Native American Hoop Dance techniques shared with us at Hoop Convergence by Alley’Oop. This is one of the most original hoop performances I’ve seen.
Founding members of the Kaivalya Hoop Dancers, Shakti Sunfire and Luna Breeze, sisters by birth, return to Rothbury 2009 to awe and amaze inside the circle. Synchronizing multiple hoop acts with contact improv, modern dance, sacred geometrical shapes, and statue-like stillness, Vesica Sister seeks to weave story, myth and ceremony into their feminine duet. Look for them in the depths of the Sherwood forest and beyond.
Check out Shakti’s Blog on her experience at Rothbury here. She writes:
The goal? To push beyond familiar territory. To wipe the word ‘ambiant’ from our contract. To step it up like we never have before. Vesica’s debut added an electric undercurrent to the tingling expanse of uncharted water. In that way we as individual participants matched and contributed to the artistic infrastructure that is Rothbury.

I’m going to try and recap some of the many memorable moments at Movement Play tonight. We had such a great time really settled into the space, playing for four full days. More on that soon…
