Résumé :
Issue 04, entitled Prop Stories, we explore the intersection between handbalance and objects. Since the beginning of handstands, they have been practised and performed on objects ranging from static blocks, canes, chairs, parallel bars, and boxes to moving objects — a trapeze, a rolla-bolla, or even living beings, like horses and people.

The theme “apparatus” returned us to a sense of playfulness. We see playfulness not only in how the handbalancer moves with their tools, but also, more often than not, in the creation of the apparatus itself.
