Video Tech Blog #123: horizontal triquetra patterns

Could not display the flash because does not appear to exist.

Wow...I was super exhausted when I recorded this and it came out really sloppy. Hopefully y'all will forgive me for this :-P Anys, over the weekend in an effort to expand my vocabulary in horizontal plane, I tried adapting one of my favorite moves in vertical plane: back-to-back triquetras, and stick it into horizontal plane. Here are four variants: the first is just to take the move exactly as it is and bring the hands together near the head as you're switching back to the original position. Watch out! It's REALLY easy to club yourself in the head with this move. The next three variants all make use of plane-shifting. The first Erik came up with and it involves using a pair of top-oriented pendulums to substitute for the arc past the head. Next is using a top pendulum vs a bottom pendulum at the plane-shift moment. This is very similar to a move G came up with a long time ago wherein the plane-shift moment involves a top antispin vs bottom pendulum to make the transition. We can mix and match these pieces to get a top pendulum vs antispin. And finally, for the truly hardcore, there's just switching between horizontal and vertical triquetras at the moment they're furthest out to the sides.
