There’s a big recode of MoM going on, last week, and for the next week.
As a result expect some erratic behavior and dead links, especially in the static parts of the site.
Sorry. Will try to keep down time to a minimum. If you get error, please don’t worry too much, we know its a bit screwy at the moment, the blog should be working fine at the moment.
We’re converting whole site to a lightweight CMS
Expect some further changes to layout and content coming over the next month too.

Ministry members Colin and Ed get groovy with contact juggling and poi in Hastings [UK]

(edit from Ryan in 2010) This is one of my favorite releases from back in the early days. Rumor has it Colin and Ed are working on a new video together.

5 DV tapes arrived at the Ministry today. Raw footage of the CJC 2007, France, courtesy of Bruno.
I’m very excited.

Hi, It seems like askimet spam filter is working perfectly on the blog comments, so I’ve disabled need for you to login to comment (e-mail address needed, but that stays private).

Yipee, no more forgetting your password and no more adverts for bigger firmer longer lasting Viagra in your area.

I wish I could find an excuse to blog my favorite cheezburger blog but sadly its off topic…oh well.

juggling.tv – plate spinning in the countryside

Recently posted over juggling.tv, Ian Marchant -That Juggler with some excellent plate spinning action.

It’s been a while since we had a popping video on the blog…

Colin pointed me towards this one the other day: An audition taken by Phillip Chbeeb from Houston Texas for the show ‘So You Think You Can Dance’.

Some really nice moves, and some really tight illusion as well.

Unreal skills from this vintage Japanese acrobats clip.

From ManiacWorld:
There’s stepping into the way-back machine, and then there’s Les Kiriki: Acrobates Japonaises, a goofy little short clip from 1907. French director Segundo de Chomón directed some 125 short films between 1902 and 1917, specializing in the wierd and the wonderful.

In May 2007, I had the pleasure of working with them on their innovative new UV show; LUMOTEK UV-3000. This full-length UV performance was conceptualized as a machine; the pieces locking into place on stage and whirring, clicking and spinning in perfect mechanical harmony.
