So while stuck in Texas (I kid you not, I was, in fact, stuck in Texas) I did get the epic opportunity to actually get a lesson from Adam "Crack" Winrich himself.
He was able to show me some cool things and definitely gave me some food for thought. I think one of the biggest things that "tickled my thinking cap" was when he asked me about where I wanted to take my whip cracking. It was then that I realized I really had no idea how to answer that question. Where do I want to take my whip cracking? Do I want to compete? Well maybe, one day. Although admittedly that urge does not necessarily drive me in my pursuit for Whip Cracking knowledge. Do I want to perform? Well yes, but I don't want to run the faire circuit. To be honest, I hate moving around and I don't think I could handle traveling gypsy-style from one faire to another for an extended period of time. So...what do I want?
I know I want to apply the Whip to Stage Combat..but it does not just end there. I want to explore the whip both as a weapon and a tool of performance. I want to integrate it into dance and fight sequence alike. I want to get all the knowledge I can about it so that I can take what I learn and use it in whatever situation come my way or however I deem worthy.
Gosh, that sounds so vague. But I promise, it makes sense in my head.
At any rate, I had a lot of fun and learned a lot on my trip to Texas.
Today is my Birthday and I am about to move 1,000 miles away (give or take) to get complete a Master's Degree Program. So here's to adventures, knowledge, and growth.
That's all for now.
Until Next Time,
