(For those of you watching in Germany, please use this link to Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/kinetickristen/hoopingidolflowweek I apologize for the inconvenience.)

Kinetic Kristen of Leopard Dance Arts is dancing in her favorite location in Murfreesboro, the Stones River (West Fork) in Barfield-Crescent Park.

This video was filmed with the intention to be a view into Kristen's private flow and is deliberately filmed from the viewpoint of the bugs, butterflies & forest critters who happen down the ridge to watch her hoop dance. The song, "The End," evokes a multitude of mixed emotions: somber, introspective, despair, freedom, happiness, love....and it brings back memories as well.

Special thanks to Alicia Williams of the Aerial Fabricators for previewing selected footage and helping with the decision of using this particular piece of flow.

Flow music -- "The End" by Greenwheel
Beginning & Ending music -- "Private Universe" by Jon Hopkins (appropriate, as it was)

Thank you both! The hoop is a 28" polypro, taped with silver holographic tape. I found the skirt at a second-hand shop in Franklin, TN. I threw a gauze scarf over it for some spring color on that cloudy day :)
