LittleBig Waves - Macaco
The idea behind LittleBig Waves is to dive into the depths of technique both practically and philosophically.
Understanding how to define the moves which I perform and what are the connections between them.
I learned that linear progression of movement is almost always not authentic and limited.
In reality every one makes his own development and progress in accordance of many variables which are never the same.
So for that reason, I believe that sharing the concepts and ideas which I use to construct my technique can be very beneficial in order to inspire people to try it themselves and also invent their own techniques and concepts.
So when I considered using Macaco techniques in this video I faced a small problem.
I have been practicing Macaco on and off for probably about 20 years, so the amount of variations and ideas I can articulate is changing everyday and almost always comes in the moment of doing the move and not when I sit down with a pen and paper.
So I decided to choose 3 basic principles which are both fun to play with and also open up a lot of options for advanced variations.
I hope you enjoy this and if so please share it forward to those who might find it relevant.

Important to note that this video wouldn't have been possible without an artistic residency I am currently taking part in along side my good friend and collaborator Yogi Dekel.
The host of this residency is Orit Nevo which is hosting us in "ON - a center for Contemporary Circus Creation".
Orit is doing great things in her center and it is highly recommended to check it out:
