Under Pressure

I have a very annoying habit that has started to develop.  I'm constantly thinking about Circomedia.  I mean - constantly. It's really irritating.  Thoughts of school actually woke me up last night, and for those of you who know me well, you'll know how unusual that is.

It may be because there's quite a lot of pressure at the moment.  Every Friday we have a presentation task, and at the moment we are looking at technical presentations of ability and understanding for each of the specialist areas of E & M, aerial and acro-balance.  Last Friday was an acro presentation.  The brief required that we use no music, no characters (but what do I hide behind then?), and no story.  In this way we show our application of what we have learnt in class time and our ability to make transitions between different moves.  It went quite well, and I'm relieved it's over, as I now have to prepare a 3 minute solo piece of manipulation featuring a piece of red fabric for this Friday, and a 3 minute trapeze solo for the Friday after.  Which is fine, but I would just like to be able to switch off from it all occasionally (particularly when asleep).

Anyway, for those of you who are interested, below is the final rehearsal of my group's acro piece.  I'm the one who walks onto the far left of the screen at the start.  And in answer to my classmate's questions, no, we weren't allowed to smile.
