All year I've been trying to speed up my articulations. To no avail. It feels painfully slow and looks the same when I would watch myself in the mirror. In speaking with Sihing Lindstrom, he asked "Well how much faster do you want to be? Because you look pretty fast already." I was shocked at this statement....because Sihing Lindstrom has some pretty high standards of us. He asked that I do my articulation and watch myself in the mirror. Which I've done plenty before so I wasn't expecting anything miraculous to happen. But when I started, he said "no...watch yourself from a side view." And from the side, my spear was MOVING. I finally saw the speed that I see others producing. And I realized that the perspective I have in doing, is not the same as what people see. I also discovered that, in the form, all of the articulations are positioned so the audience has the side view....which was by design...I just didn't realize it until now. Lol.
