I saw this piece at Boudu la Jongle in Toulouse earlier this year, and it was awesome.

Emiliano mixes Contemporary Dance techniques with juggling/manipulation. Here’s a video containing snippets of his stage show from EJC in Athens. Lets you in on what to expect, without giving away the whole piece. If you get the chance to, see his whole act.

Mario: Queen of the Circus

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

On youtube - low res
The Clip above - Don’t watch it, instead go to Mario: Queen of the Circus website >> Videos and watch the clip on the left - You’ll get a higher resolution.

Mario performed the greatest street act We’ve ever seen. A triumph of art, humour, talent, technique, a plot!, audience participation and the greatest song in the world ever written about juggling.

We recommend that you don’t watch any more Mario on little web clips, We haven’t found any others that do him justice, save it till you get to see the show in real life, he performs all over the world (schedule on his site) and you’ll get some real magic.

423 - Exploring the Space

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

Aaron Gregg of www.stuntsuperstar.com fame cut together this video of 423 variations with clubs and balls. (beware.. thats a big high-quality .mov… you should just right-click, save-as)

For those who aren’t juggle-geeks, 423 is a simple 3 object pattern which has a lot of ’space’ in it for variations.

In related news, I will be attending the Victoria Juggling Festival this weekend and teaching workshops.

Enrico Rastelli - Essential Viewing

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

YouTube - Enrico Rastelli
7 minutes of Rastelli. Old old footage….in the opinion of many, still the greatest juggler who ever lived.
Juggling, Balance, bodyrolling, acro, twirling a stick on his feet and all kinds of manipulation.
Be jaw droppingly amazed. A predecessor of Brunn, Rastelli got SKILLZ. Rastelli sadly died in 1931, aged only 34. Info on Rastelli at Juggling hall of Fame.

This clips is thanks to Peter Bone, incredible high numbers juggler - 18 catches of 11 balls and a flash of 13 balls and he calls himself an Amateur! We should blog him too.

Sander - Full Frontal

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

This link comes to us via Everyone is Happy Productions, a splendidly good juggling and twirling blog:

I was reading the wonderful and splendorous Ministry of Manipulation blog and watched an amazing medley of jugglers in Amsterdam. One of them, Sander, really stands out. Amazing 3 club legos. I’ve just been getting into these. Such a nice way to play with clubs…
So anyway I went and had a look on the tube and found a whole video of this man’s goods. This would have to be about the most excited I’ve ever been over lego since turning 6. Check out the bounces as well.

Indeed… I share your lego love.
