Silk Veil Fans Flow + Technique
Silk veil fans are some of my favorite props - the fans hold the silk taught so you can achieve different shapes with them, as well as incredible shapes and textures. Silk Veil fans are recorded in Chinese and Japanese history as early as 1000 BCE, and spread to eastern cultures and beyond since then.
Honoring the traditions and innovating with object manipulation, we flow!
In this tutorial we cover :
holding the fans
snapping them open
catching air
connecting with the silk & when to move
wrist work : flutters & beats
turning
+ a special little performance clip for you at the end!
