Hey, all-
To piggy-back a little on Noel's vid of G, I've been working on trying to incorporate more plane-bending into some of the techier moves I'm familiar with and have been focusing recently on CAPs. In the past few weeks I've been trying to figure out the basic parameters of plane bending in and out of them and made up a video last night that covers what I've been doing--I'd love some feedback.

All the transitions I'm working with here are assuming bending from CAP to CAP oriented 90 degrees off of each other with a preference towards vertically oriented CAPs rather than horizontal. Noel's G video shows some of the potential for mixing up the horizontal and vertical CAPs near the end. Right now, the middle transits seem to show the most potential for really varying the scope and type of motion that a body is bending into, so I'd love to know if anyone else is playing with these and if so what I'm missing in this breakdown.
Thanks in advance and enjoy!

Re: Plane bending with CAPs
Sun, July 26, 2009 - 4:53 PMDude... As I said in the youtube thread, I just stumbled on these myself on a hike today... It's a total extension of what I really like about CAPs, which is the ability to make ubiquitous changes in timing and direction... and plane... yippeeee!
I envision strange sphere-defining weaves with this technique... and really mind-blowing atomics. I think ultimately, I'm going to try and refine quick, un-hesitated bends within half of a CAP iteration, so it takes on a cubic or spherical quality.
I remember on monday, fall WF 09' noel was working on bending antispin-flowers and it looked awesome... The key here is the bend points hidden in antispin/spin/extensions... definitely a starting point for some crazy stuff.
OoH! Goofy CAP bends!
Gotta go! -

So reading this set me off on a whole lot of experimentation to essentially try and take the concept of an elliptical CAP and adapt it to three dimensions. I'm having the most luck with the following approach:
From a split-time opposites antispin flower, stall both hands out horizontally and guide them around in a half circle, Yuta-style. At the end of the "U", switch which hand is on top and bottom and perform a quarter turn with each hand in split-time opposites to have one stalled vertically and the other horizontally, then reverse each hand's direction in full arm extension once again going split-time opposites in a plane perpendicular to the one you started in.
On the other side of your body, stall with the same hand pointed up and down that you did on the other side and pull them into a split-time opposites antispin flower for a quarter beat just like the one we started with (though the opposite hand should now be on top). Like before, stall horizontally and carry the stall Yuta-style across to the back side of the body, reversing which hand is on top and pull out of the stall in split-time opposites for a quarter beat before pulling out into full arm extension split-time opposites, stalling on the other side of your body straight up and down. Pull out of the stalls into split-time opposites and you should be right back where you started.
Wordy, I know. I'll try and demo this in a video this week. The quarter-beat stalls are proving really hard to keep under control, but otherwise this isn't hugely difficult to pull off.
