What are we not finding at home that we keep searching for? A movement reflection on leaving, returning, and the strange tension between possibility and permanence. This began as a late-night conversation with @just.another_wanderer about why some of us keep leaving places even when we long to stay. About choosing the limitlessness of possibility over the comfort of reality. About how permanence can feel both desired and terrifying. The work explores that paradox through movement — searching, hesitation, expansion, and the quiet moments where the body pauses long enough to listen.

A few months back I realised I think about hooping more than I actually hoop. I hit a plateau about two years ago. Everything I was training started taking months, sometimes years, to crack. And I wasn’t ready to feel bad at hooping. So I went elsewhere for a while. Practiced poi. Started spinning fire. Studied movement arts. And somewhere along the way, I realised I need to hoop to enjoy hooping again. Not think about it. Not analyse it. Not wait for inspiration to arrive. This is my happy place and I need to make space for it. That’s the thing about flow. It’s a place of pure expression. Comparison, self-doubt, expectation, performativity — all of it kills flow. So I started hooping again. As much as I want. Rediscovering my flow for who I am now. And I’m starting to like it here again.

Been having a crappy day till a bunch of breakers walked in and amped up the vibe. So I finally got to put together this sequence that’s been running in my head with moves I stole from @chrisgogler @mariloop_flow and @eshnakutty at cyber @swhoopcon last month

I don’t light my hoops on fire often. But when I do, it escalates quickly. Partner in crime @danceswithcircles . Alchemy, Jan.
