The Ministry have got 2 more RG compilation web-videos to edit, but in the meantime check these foot manipulations with hoop, clubs, ribbon and ball.

The popping sounds are not added in. That is the real audio of balloons popping. it took over 3 hours to blow up nearly 8000 balloons using 2 air compressors to get it full enough. location- department of skateboarding, Portland, OR.

Awwwwwwwww!

As many of you know, the Ministry of Manipulation was born in a London circus studio called the Hangar, and the Hangar came to an end because the site was needed for development for the London 2012 Olympic Games. In June 2007 the Hangar closed its doors and is currently scheduled for demolition.

Welcome to the Hangar

I’m happy to announce the first stage of Hangar 2; a new warehouse space has been aquired and it looks like it is going to be an AMAZING studio!

Phwooooar!
It’s Lindy hop, in a smooth style, a very smooth style. Looks like it’s improv, not a routine.

I’ve got a funny video of Andrew dancing in the hangar, at 7am to “Ride of the Valkeries” with a hula hoop and a hottie after an all night blues party. Later than day we nearly got thrown off the London underground for bad behaviour – apparently, no matter how good the busker is, dancing is not permitted on the tube.

My favorite Japanese robot contact juggling busker steps up to a corporate level, and busts out his funky techno juggle-dancing with extra added coolness.

If juggler-illusionist Michael Moschen, Hip Hop pioneer Mr Wiggles and superfly Rhythmic Gymnast Charlene Edwards were to battle it out, live on one stage, who would win?*

That we don’t know. But we do know that Ann Marie DeAngelo put them and others on stage in The Variety Show at Annenberg Center, Philadelphia in 2001.

Compulsory viewing but there are bits in this clip that you’ll probably want to fast forward. Sorry about the audio!

*After seeing her Bodyrolling and ribbon, my money was on Edwards…. Until Moschen busted out with the hoops – the original and still the best, no one can isolate a hoop like Moschen. But wait, what’s that Wiggles waving through Moschens ring…OMG, OK you decide.

Very nice use of CGI. Thanks to Jani for the link on Juggling DB.

Apparently if you start your children onto the path of juggling early, it leads to this

Brilliant juggling, terrible commentary. This video comes to us through no less than 4 (!) media channels… look at all those logos and links on the screen! The footage is a rip from the PBS documentary. You can find links to more complete clips (without the idiot commentator…) at Ministry TV, channel guide: “in motion…”
