I've totally won this argument with simian...

Can we discuss style of contact now? And styles of spinning? That would be more interesting... And styles of spinning on the ground, and styles of throws, and styles of geeky ugly spinning...

those with stlye meg - dont need to talk about it











whoop whoop - im off to PLAY

"...We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing......."

don't be a retard strugz. If there's ever to be any interesting discussion here in the staff forum, somebody has to start it... generally a total noob. But I was trying to break that trend.

Ok - getting on topic for a second:

as far as styles go, i personnaly believe that every spinner does have there own style - but it is not something that is distingtive until they start putting moves together.

I think this is because most things you learn - you learn static. Its when you start "moving" that your style develops.

I have spent alot of time studying contact staff over the years and it certanly has styles of sorts.... seporate from stand alone moves.

I feel that my style of staffing is very much based around "line, body movement" if im doing a "performing spin" then all of my movement follows that line to ensure the crowd see what i want them too.

This i find neatens up planes of contact and spinning alltogether.

However when practicing or playing i tend to loose this style and go for a more 360 random plane type approch, this is more for my own exploration of moves.

Once ive found things that work - then i try to adopt them to the performance style that i like to show off

make sense?

I may have just blabberd bullsh1te - but you pulled it out of me

So i guess what im saying i dont think styles are seporate sections of moves at all - i think they are a way you spin:

A - for yourself
B - for your surroundings
C - for the limits your body naturaly puts in place.

Now stop me making discussion, i liked being silly

"...We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing......."

You're lucky, you get to go to play today or tomorrow or whatever, I get to go on friday night, so I have a week of work and boredom that I need an interesting discussion to think about...

I think everybody has their own style, but some people have more 'style' than others..

I think you can develop a style based on what movements you do, or a style based on movement, on a style based on well both. Maybe on other things too I don't know. I know I use the steve as a base move usually, doing one to pass to my otherhand or if I can't think of anything better, and sometimes trying to work other tricks in and out of it. I also usually never do any non symmetric movements if I can help it, and If I can't I like to balance it out by doing the other direction version. I might have a style of movement, but I don't know, I don't film myself spinning that much..

I almost never disregard planes. if I'm practising, I might use a crappy plane to aid my learning, but try and straighten it out. I don't generally just decide to keep going if my planes go to [censored]. I usually correct them. or curse.

planes while performing then aren't an issue. thou style while performing vs style while spinning for pleasure is a good debate in itself.

I would generally be the opposite. I know the audience generally doesn't give a todgers about planes so I can basically do whatever looks cool or will make them go OoooooOOooo. It's still dependent on what I want them to see, but sometimes I want them to see an atomic pattern, and sometimes I just want to do an outrageously long contact movement going through various planes.

thou for performance, and movement in general I really want to get a mindset whereby I thik about the circles the staff is making around me, combined with my body movement, rather than tricks on their own or movement on its own or circles on their own. I don't generally think about the circles at all.

you got style m8 - even without a stick in your hand, id thank your bitchin attitude and your quality hair for that



As for performance planes - id tend to agree that the audiance hasnt got a clue about a good or bad plane - what i try and put across to thwem is what i would like to see myself.......



I hate (actually thats too strong a word but.......) watching a spinner in the flow and you just think to yourself - turn round a bit, so i can see the patterns in all its glory



I guess i picked that attitude long ago from taking lots of fire photos - im my mind i know what looks good, so i guess ive carried that on.



As for spinning circles - haha, that is something ive long forgotten too - im very much interested in the shapes you make with a striaght edge and your body - circels are part of the pattern you can form, but by using off centre grips and isolated arm movements the patters you can make qwith a stick are endless.



Its funny, talking like this i realise how much i love staff...... i want to go outside and play now



Thanks for making me talk / think about what i do Meg, its usually something i just laugh about and dont take that seriously



(from a discussion point a view anyway)



Hopefully someone will jump in here when i leave tonight to relieve your boredom till friday!



Did you realise we will have:



MCP

T&B

Bluecat

Sandy

Meast

Imakode

Strugz

Simian

Chronofracture

Mynci



(and many more)



all in one place



oh and i have a bucket load of video cameras , seeing as you dont do much filming of yourself eh

That's what hecklin' for! use your voice, or alternatively, your FEET!



when I'm 'flowing' (gay) I don't give a about what the audience thinks or where they are. All that concerns me is generally creating a nice 'melody' of tricks and movement. (flowery hippy stuff, I know )



! All those people are going to be there! Holy ! This is bigger than 9/11!



and like, hair wtf.. that's not a style dude... and I have a hat now... yay!



thinking is the best part of staff I think, apart from the non thinking bit...

3 styles of staff = good, bad and ugly

strugz...dude you are all 3

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

Dude that was actually funny

"...We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing......."

thanks...I think

I've totally won this argument with simian...





What?!?!? On what planet???



Is that because of your incredible killing blow:

 Written by: meggano

There are degrees of infinity. Real infinity and Integer infinity. If you could count to the 'end' of infinity, it would take you longer to count to the end of Real infinity, than integer infinity. That's how I can compare 'mastery' of spinning and contact. (and I'll bet you can guess which way round my analogy is.)









Do you have ANYTHING to back that up?



No. You don't.



and the council is going to send you a fixed penalty notice for fly-tipping because of all the RUBBISH coming out of your MOUTH

see. endless. Some people get what i'm talking about...



On an entirely seperate note:

Style = Specialization?

Does style naturally develop as a result of what you don't learn, as much as what you do?



And yes, i'm very excited about play

No. You don't.




well, I obviously gave you too much credit. It's all thanks to Mr Cantor, and set theory. Thou the diagonals way of explaining it made most sense to me. but if you'd have thought about it for like ONE second, you would have discovered that you can fit the entirity of the integers inbetween 0 and 1, thanks to decimal places...

so yes indeed, there is infinity, and then there is INFINITY! :P

simian = teh lose.

Jesus, it's getting a bit crap when I have to be the clever one. I mean really!

endless : as for your other argument... Ah falling back onto dance and movement. Got bored of your easy spinning moves again?


----


"Does style naturally develop as a result of what you don't learn, as much as what you do? "

rather: what you don't Do, as much as what you do... rather than learn I would say. Thou in terms of movement, you can usually tell when someone has studied a martial art, as their style betrays them. I haven't seen enough dancers to say the same of dance.

Plus with most people they stop at the learning phase. and never get to the point where's they've learnt enough to develop a style. (IMO)

you two aren't arguing about anything any more.

you've descended into just spouting random crap about how rubbish the other's opinions are



it was obvious from the beginning that youn were both wrong but it was funny back then.



its beginning to hurt my teeth watching you trying to bolster your weak cases over and over with little more than abunch of rhetoric.



personally, i agree with strugz
