Just a quickie: Is it necessary to have good front-bending skills in order to help with back-bending. Or is it not really needed. I ask because almost every web guide I go to and practically every contortion video I see focus's on the forwards bendi…

Something very weird has been happening when I stretch my back lately. My ribcage has been making roughly the same noise as microwavable popcorn. Now I'm no stranger to cracking joints (I've been cracking my knuckles and back/ neck regularly for a c…

About Me
"I'm on a quest. To find the fabled one hundred and first position."

My main passion is film-making, however, whilst writing my current film, one of the characters I created was double jointed and always in some contorted position. One night I absent-mindedly tried a few easy moves and have been hooked since then. All of my stetching is done behind closed doors due to a negative comment made by a family member during a TV screening of cirque du soleil. This has slowed down my progress somewhat and despite approaching my fifth year I still struggle with some of the basic stretches.

As you may have noticed by the above comment. I try not to take activities like this too seriously and generally approach it quite light heartedly. This is bound to get me into trouble at some point but until it does...

Hi, I want to apologize first of all for how extremely long it has taken me to respond, sometimes I completely forget to check my page and apparently I have check the comments on it since July or something.

Thanks for the camera tip, I don't actually have that camera anymore, I've moved out of the US and am currently in Iceland. I decided to leave my mom a camera, so I've got my old one back now. Thank you very much, I'm glad people like my videos, and thank you for the compliment. I suppose my weight is becoming more and more of a worry for me since I moved, a lot of the girls around here are size -5 or something, so not being a size 0 is maybe getting to me a bit, so thank you, I'm happy with my body half the time and its nice to hear that from someone other than my parents.

Thanks a ton for the comment, again I'm sorry for how long it took.

Hope you're well.

Contortion top tip.

Read an interesting article recently.

Apparently, scientists have determined than when your average person starts to fall over, the natural response is to put out their arms and make their whole bodies go rigid. This can actually cause additional injuries such as splintered bones and pulled muscles.

However, when they begin to lose balance and head for Earth, 90% of drunk people did not go rigid and simply rolled into the fall therefore reducing the amount of injury. This was put down to the t… Continue

First clip of Contortionist in my feature film

Not specifically contortion related I know, however the first video for my feature film is now online and can be viewed HERE .

One of the characters in the film does contort quite often so be sure to keep up to date with the film as we reveal more of her character over the upcoming months.
