LCD – contact juggling & liquid robot dancing

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

After the silly robot intro, LCD launches into a wicked display of contact juggling isolations. To quote Su-nami from www.contactjuggling.org

How is it when you Isolate an acrylic it looks like an incredibly intricate dance form and when i isolate an acrylic it looks like, well, someone isolating an acrylic?

LCD (aka Liquid Crystal Display aka ‘elsie-dee’ aka Nika aka Nick) and Matt Hennem have been obsessing for a decade now about the fine details of moving a ball from point ‘A’ to point ‘B.’

This is one of the most inspirational things I’ve seen in a long time, and one of the most beautiful contact juggling videos ever. I look forward to seeing it live. Wow, Thank you so much for sharing it Dimitar and Nimi. Smiles Drew

Masterful juggling from one of the best. I held my breath through most of this, and am without words to describe how deeply this inspires. It is a masterpiece of expressive juggling, with a constant play between the various emotional states and a huge depth and range of techniques. I’m feeling it; Stefan is awesome.

Bravo!!!! and a standing ovation for bringing this to youtube in 1080p.

Two friends of mine went to Kiev to train juggling with the crazy kids there. I talked to one of them (Petter) the other day and he said that they would be posting a video of some stuff they had been doing there along with some of what the ukranian guys are working on.

HOLY SHIT! I got so excited watching this! I’m not going to spoil the surprises for you but it’s an amazing video with incredible  technique and super new one ball and three ring work by the swedish representatives.

Make sure you check out Petters other video and subscribe to his account. He’s one of the coolest smartest jugglers I know and for sure someone to keep an eye on if you like awesome things.

Oh yeah, I have to not make jokes about big balls. Ok, so this is a girl doing three of those large gym balls, the squishy ones, that you supposedly use to build up your core strength, but you actually just roll around on. This I assume Russian Ukrainian, has made a whole act out of rolling around on them, in a graceful way. There’s also some ball spinning, behind the head rolls, antipodism, and acrobatics with the big balls.

It’s always nice to see new props being used with innovative manipulation.
