Therapeutic Play with objects
Touch
I explore a wide range of touch juggling techniques for both therapeutic and performative applications by applying the wisdom of the centuries old practices of the Chinese baoding.
BAODING
Based on a 2000 year old Chinese palm rolling technique, baoding is a practice which increases strength and circulation to the hands using balls of various weights and sizes. It is also an aesthetically pleasing activity and can include balances and body rolls. In Chinese medicine, the palms also have meridians which correspond to the organs and other parts of the body.
