Remember The Contact Juggling Workshop?

Well this is where contact juggling can lead you to if you add handbalancing, ball juggling, and a big dash of dedication and talent. This is a video of Catherine Flaherty from 2009.


It might be an old video, but the performance is great. I'm going to go and search for more.

Mini Hoops & Acrylic Balls

Inspiration for those who want to become good object manipulators. Pilolip's website is a good place to start. Lots of practice and patience and you could be this good.


Enjoy!

Tonight there will be...

... a short beginners contact juggling workshop run by Daniel G. It will start around 8pm, so be there by then if you want to join in. If you own a stage ball or a contact ball please bring it along, if not we do have a few balls in the club equipment you could use.

If you don't wish to join in, there will still be space for you to do your own thing. We hope to see lots of you there tonight. We will start at the usual time of 7pm. Lately only a few people have been turning up at 7pm, so if you have something you want to practice that takes a lot of space get there early. I hope to see you tonight at the Alltwen Community Hall.

Contact Juggling Workshop

The meeting of the 3rd January will include a contact juggling workshop from Daniel Griffith, starting around 8pm. If you wish to join in and you have a contact ball or stage ball please bring it along. If not we have a few in the club kit.

Tonight's Flowerstick workshop by Stephen was well attended and we hope to set up another one if enough requests come in for it. Thank you Stephen!

Juggling patterns for 5 balls and up

Do you sometimes wish your feet were extra hands?

This is fairly old footage, but it's good. I'm pretty sure I have seen Morgan live, but I can't remember where. His foot catches and throws are brilliant and I like the way he engages with the audience, yet never says a word. Most of the people I have seen do routines like this use the under filled thud type balls to make the foot catches easier. Morgan is using stage balls.




I'm going to ponder all day now trying to figure out where and when it was I saw Morgan live. I wish I had a better memory!

Time to practice handstands and contact juggling

This is another video that Rob Bluecat, brought to my attention. It's one of those videos that makes your jaw drop and think, just how long did it take her to learn to do this.

ENI needs some gym mats. I want to practice handstands!

And for those of you who don't know who Rob Bluecat is, here is a video.

I have to admit this isn't the best video of Rob, as it only shows off a little of his poi skill, and he has so many other amazing skills... well I could have posted squillions of videos of him, but I picked this one purely because it not only has the talented Rob in it, it also has Maelle club swinging and Ronan contact poi spinning, both very talented people too.
