Too tired for a post European juggling convention report. Suffice to say it rocked. and it seems like 2008 was the year of ball on top of head, you’re basically a nobody, unless you have a ball on your head.
Above random video shows a canine with better head skills than me.

The first installment in the Happy Oree Friends series. Ori Roth is joined by Tavo and Edgar Groll; insane balancing and juggling ensues.

Here ya go, interwebbers. I (Ryan Mellors) directed a show for Inner Ring in Vancouver and couldn’t resist putting in a classic video game reference.
Incredible skill and tight pants – Camp Hula hoop joy from Tigris. His live performance in Circus Space, London a few years ago was even better live than he appears here – good interaction with the audience playing up the sailor boy character.

David Menes [previously on MoM.] has continued to elaborate on his routine. He is at a circus school in Canada and doing some very good juggling there as well. Lots of interesting contact juggling and body movement combined as well as lots of ‘normal’ juggling. Normal for David Menes I assume, pretty hard for the rest of us.
Dominic Lacasse is a French acrobat, who also does parkour, chinese pole and his specialty, the human flag. He also teaches strength training. In this video he does a beautiful performance with an Orchestra, Demonstrating his incredible strength and ability at the human flag. Watch till the end for when he does an isolated walk in the air.
He also holds or is trying to break the Guinness World Record for human flag endurance.
This video shows some more of his amazing feats of strength.
Two students of the Montreal Circus School perform a beautiful piece of Acrobalance with a story, characters, dance, absolutely stunning ‘tricks’… It’s almost beyond words. I love it.
Also, Phillipe is incredibly at Roue Cyr: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8j7J4n5Qi0
I just got pwned. Beautiful dance, and well integrated contact staff in this glorious fire video. It makes me sigh with envy, but I’m glad she’s totally going for the beautiful contact staff dance style.
Performed by Linda Farkas on the 11th of July 2008 as a part of her solo show.
A Russian Juggler in a circus environment doing 2-3-4-5-6 stick juggling. Sticks: like clubs, but larger, and without the helpful weighting. He’s got an insane dance style. I just can’t believe he’s doing 6 stick juggling. Immense.
