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.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From Youtube:

extracts from my performance at the festival “feux d’hiver” in calais (31.12.09)…. music from the album “rossz csillag allat született” by venetian snares … www.stefansing.com

Seems like nowadays all my inspiration comes from dance and acrobatic videos… and whatever Wes Peden posts…

Lewie West made a new video:

Seems like everytime he posts a new video, I’ll have to blog it. Sweet.

Ronan showed me a very old video of an amazing dancer and he just popped back onto the internet with a new collaboration video:

And the video that Ronan showed me which is still amazing: YouTube Link And thou the above video may contain some weirdness, this one contains pretty much just awesomeness and a lot of titles.

Finally, a man blogged on this blog before, Olivier Mathieu and his friend:Thierno Thioune. Doing some dance that even Ryan will think is amazing:

Going off to dance now…

Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are awesome ice dancers from Canada. They are competing tonight here in Vancouver as top contenders for Olympic gold, and I’m all caught up in the excitement in my hometown.

I think I understand why this guy is called Rubberlegz, thou it seems to have infected all of his limbs…

B-Boys doing solo dance numbers? Not in a battle? Yes it’s true! SWEEEEEET.

You’ll not believe where this guy can put his legs. In a good way.

A kick-ass ring routine from Riccardo Tanca, loaded with neat tricks, funky variations and a crowd that loves it!

If you like rings, I suggest you dig through his profile. “Riky” has unique stuff and is showcasing some really good research. Some more of my favorite ring concepts are below.

What contempory circus would be if you had a dream of it and your dreams were extremely creative.

But wait, there’s going to be more: “James Thiérrée’s fourth full-length creation, Raoul (a theatre piece blending contemporary circus, movement, music and poetry) was co-commissioned by the Barbican Centre and will make its debut in London in October 2009.”

Damn you londoners.

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.

The people we’ve taken on as guest contributors over the years are awesome people.
When Kyle, Wes Peden, Moon, or MCP make a new video, you know it’s going to be good.

So this is a thank you, from me (Ryan) to the rest of the M.o.M crew. You guys rock, seriously. Thanks for stopping in and adding your favorite stuff here on M.o.M and thanks for your commitment to your disciplines. You are all phenomenal artists and we want to see more of you here!

Click below for 4 videos (never posted here before) reminding you why our contributors are awesome.

I want more of this! These kinds of movements are something that I would like to see with props… I don’t know how… or with what props… but I want to see them.

The tangled up parts not the traditional type dance parts.

And of course Wes has kinda already done it. : )

Improvised juggling by Stefan and Phillip, who know how to jam together better than anybody. If it isn’t playing at full-frame rate in the embedded player, then its worth the download from Juggling.tv (300mb .mov)

Posted for Tony Duncan, who has been cursing in the comments thread recently about the lack of juggling.

Yeah so it’s Christmas again. I made a video. I asked Ryan and Drew if I could post it, and Ryan said I could so I did. It’s me, dancing about like a loon, with a staff. Done. It’s okay. I liked the club one better but Ryan said I should post this one. So here it is, an early Christmas present. Yup.

I can’t really go on about how awesome it is but it’s better than not bad.
