Controlled Folly (only a vague description)

Magical Passes Seminar in Anaheim, 2 February, 2002

•••••

One thing I ommitted from my account of the first evening was a "taste" the instructors offered us of a pass they were going to teach us the following day - a controlled folly pass - which would involve doing the pass in pairs of the same gender. They showed us the first few movements of the long form which consisted of quite graceful movements with each partner mirroring the movement of the other, in sequence, in slow motion....

...We were (later) taught the controlled folly pass in full which we practiced several times during the day. It consisted of graceful movements that saw same-gender pairs interlocking hand and arm movements, pirouetting with hands locked on wrists and ending facing the same direction gesturing to Infinity. In one practice the instructors divided practitioners into two halves and each half watched the others perform the pass in silence with no prompting from the practitioners. It seemed evident to me that the female practitioners were able to embrace this pass with greater abandon than the males.
