En-garde! I should of made a field recording of the clamor and ring of epee on epee that greeted us when we opened the door of the East Bay Fencers Gym. The soundscape was epic but we were there to see Jack Melcher and family compete. They came out from Maine and got 4th which is amazing in my book. It went down in a noble fashion with the older Jedi narrowly beating the younger Padawan. I’m a stickler for any sort of swashbuckling related skill so I was enthralled with the drama of it and how the drama is restrained by various sporting rituals. I love how fencing is ancient but also modern, as someone said “the future is old.” #fencing #eastbayfencersgym #swashbucklers #epee
Congratulations to Heather, Börte, Marybeth & Hank for a great performance in ODC’s Canine Comfort. You can catch the last performance today at 6:30. It was really fun helping these dog and handler teams learn the challenging choreography. Not only do things have to happen in time to the music but the handler must constantly compensate so their dog executes the behavior at the right time. That means signaling the dog well before the beat so the dog can perform the behavior in time. On top of that the performance took place in the rain, in a city park, and in a dance performance space. Dancers whose job was to capture the essence of dog behavior with movement were skilled and magnificent but would of made excellent civil decoys 😉. So there were challenges with behavior between: dogs, people and the environment that were gracefully overcame with good cheer and sportsmanship. So bravo to Teams Börte and Hank, and of course to choreographer Kimi Okada who gave us a crash course in choreography and whose beautiful piece shows a deep love of the dog. #medroogs #odcdance #caninecomfort #sanfranciscodogs #dancersanddogs #dogsandart #doglife #caninecircusschool
