ribbon
The stick (diameter 1cm, length of 50 to 60cm)
is usually made of bamboo, plastic or fiberglass. The ribbon is most often
in satin, or a non-starched derivative. Its weight must not be more than
35gr., its width 4to6 cm and its length not more than 6 meters.
The ribbon is long and light and may be thrown in all directions. Its function is to create designs in space. Its flights through the air make images and shapes of every kind. Figures of many different sizes are executed at varying rhythm. Snakes, spirals and throws are the essentials of the ribbon’s flight.
