In this video, a woman performs a series of actions common to rhythmic gymnastics and tumbling—a flip, a toss, a spin, a roll, a trap. However, instead of utilizing the typical props, she uses found and everyday objects including a mallet, a tripod, a branch, and a canvas wig head. Several scenes feature dizzying long-shots, where the sky and ground appear to be turning in a circular motion, overlaid with the rhythmic, hypnotic sound of a classical harp. The woman looks directly into the lens and reaches out, as if the camera is being tossed. The narration weaves between describing the qualities necessary for performing the choreography, interspersed with personal reflections and references. Movement becomes a metaphor for thinking about life and the concepts of agility, growth, fluency, balance, and resilience.
