Vivian Spiral
Hula hoop
In the world of modern artistry, origins from a traditional circus family have long ceased to be decisive in the battle. The fact that an artist only begins to discover her passion for the ring in her early twenties is still a small sensation today. The American Vivian Spiral began working with the hula hoop ring as a journalism student, caught fire and then learned aerial art at the circus school. Vivian already enchanted the audience in la luna and is now returning to Dummy Lab on the GOP stage.
Hooping has changed and enriched my life in many wonderful ways. Along with increased physical, mental, and spiritual awareness, hoop dance has brought me the gifts of joyous health, fun fitness, and lovely community. Over the years I've seen the hoop bring these gifts to many others as well, constantly affirming its positive, healing power.
Whimsical toy, symbolic dance partner, spiritual tool and circular portal to increased somatic and spiritual connection; as the evocative shape might suggest, a hoop is a holistic tool as the many benefits of hooping (or hoop dance) affect body, mind and spirit.
