Hangar Christmas show – Juggler wanted

Friday, December 5th, 2008

ADVERT: The Hangar crew in East London just called me to say Hangar Christmas show is on the 19th-20th December, and they’re desperately looking for a Juggler or manipulator (ball, club or contact) to be a wise man in the show – which otherwise will be mostly aerial/acro.
Very good experience of aspiring/ good amateur performer.
2 nights audience of 150, Unpaid, although you might get travel expenses.
Hint: Getting to know the Hangar crew is very useful- particularly if you’re the sort of person who needs a training space and being aerialist they tend to throw paid gigs at jugglers occasionally.
E-mail: Drew at this domain, or leave a comment, and I’ll sent you Juliet’s phone number.

Friday Fun: Bruce Lee Ping Pong

Friday, December 5th, 2008

Not sure how staged this is, ie, how much are the ping pong players playing down their skillz? No matter, the late, great Bruce Lee is here playing ping pong against one and then two people, using Nunchaku instead of a traditional paddle.

No matter how much they are letting Bruce win, he is still hitting a ping pong ball with Nunchaku, and tricking with it as well.

Thanks Bazz for the video.
Pssst. It’s CGI.

New Windstyle Video from Bishop

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

YouTube Preview Image
Aragorn Boulanger aka Bishop recently released this video of his Windstyle waving, with an element of HipHop dance. Filmed in may 2008, in Paris. My favourite popper at the moment, I hope he can make it to the UK soon.

His very unique style of waving (That is pretty damn hard) keeps me entertained for hours. An 8 minute video packed with awesome movements, and great use of surroundings.

If you’re interested in learning to dance this way, Aragorn is giving a five day intensive workshop in the JonglierKatakomben on the 19 -23 jan 2009 inclusive. I wish I could afford to make it. Great skills, in a great place to hold a workshop. Hang on, isn’t that where The Ministry are holding a workshop in April? ;)

Rayman – Underground

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

Here it is an interesting manipulation vid from Rayman, an italian contact juggler who lives in Milan. He is very young (21 years old), and started manipulation about 2 years ago. He’s improved a lot since the last time I’ve met him! He uses 80mm, I was surprised by the 8b shower!

Good work, Rayman :)

Kelvin – Das Supertalent Final

Monday, December 1st, 2008

Kelvin performed a perfect contact juggling routine in the final of Das Supertalent [click image for video].

Here’s an auto-translate into English of the comments, summary – they loved him. But, If I read correctly, I think that the prize might have gone to the guy playing the harmonica (no really).

MoM salutes the Kelvinator for a perfect performance – “La Classe”. Standing ovation well earned.
Kelvin, you’re awesome, I hope all the hard work was worth it.

Race of the Agitators Director’s Cut

Probably the most shocking thing you will see this week.
The “No animal circus cruelty” crowd can lay off on this one, I’ve been bitten by enough of these little critters to have a grudge against them – despite 20 years of vegetarianism.
