Corbin Dunn – Roue Cyr for What is Erotic?

A few cyr wheel pictures of me street performing downtown to help promote the show I did. From flicker.

I setup a “mock studio” in my bedroom by hanging a sheet on the wall and took a few pictures with my Canon 5D setup on a timer. Me and the roue cyr. Self portraits.

I’ll be performing Roue Cyr pretty soon! A total of 8 shows over two weekends at the 418 Project in downtown Santa Cruz, California. The show is a fundraiser for the dance studio called “What... [read more]

It’s funny to be looking on the internet and find a video of yourself that someone else took at burning man! Here’s me at Circus Boot Camp 2012:

I needed a 5 piece wheel for traveling with my roué cyr and decided to make a new one for the Chicago Big Wheel Weekend. My prior wheels were three pieces, but five seems to... [read more]

Here’s my act I made up. Thanks to Jay for filming it!

One of my friends, Corinne, put on a fundraiser for the 418 Project (a dance studio in Santa Cruz). It was a blacklight/LED performance, followed by a midnight fire show. I did a simple cyr... [read more]

I got a cheap “go pro” like camera from online not too long ago. My friend Jason was getting one and said I should get one too (so I did!). Here it is hacked onto... [read more]

Some footage from playing around with my 5D.

Here’s a video of me making my second cyr wheel (aka: roue cyr or simple wheel). I’m using a Hossfeld bender, and it is a very manual and slow process!

I’m working on 360 wheel spins, where the wheel is spun around your body. Getting a few!

More progress. This is putting a few of the skills I know together all at once. Currently (Feb 28), I’m just starting to get 180 wheel spins down. I’ve also done a good 360 wheel... [read more]

Step 1: figure out what size it needs to be. Here’s my Cyr Wheel sketch for my size. I’m 5’6″, and if I add about a fist height (1.5″ to 2″), that gives me 68″... [read more]

This is from January 2012.

I’m doing a series of videos on how I made my second Roue Cyr (Cyr Wheel — aka: Simple Wheel). Here’s the last in the series…which is skinning. Updated notes: Use pipe clamps to secure... [read more]

Just working on learning. Progressing slowly, but getting a bit better because I have a few days off!

I still have trouble with basic spinning/waltzing. I’m not really sure what I’m doing wrong. I’ll need to post up some videos of me failing and ask for advice on the internets. Here’s me doing... [read more]

I needed somewhere better t hang my cube when I wasn’t using it. So, I made a cube hanger! I used the plasma cutter to cut some pieces of 3/16’ish steel plate (from the scrap... [read more]

Lyra that I made. Cromoly steel, 1″ x (I forget the tubing thickness and should measure it for reference). I bent it with my hossfeld bender; the top turned out a little flat, darn it!... [read more]
