Very interesting and triply experiment by our friend Cyrille. Filmed in a river near Geneva..I’m sure it’s not so easy as it seems in this cool vid. :) thanks for sharing, Cyrille!

Acrobatics, parkour, dance, movement and Roue Cyr.

Friday, September 2nd, 2011

I do love a giant post of really awesome acro videos. So here is one:

YouTube Preview Image

Alex Lane, doing epic Roue Cyr, new tricks, great movement. Looks like he went to the big Montreal circus school. Youtube Alex Lane

Rubberlegz keeps pushing what he’s up to, so I love him. Not convinced by drainpipe jeans but clearly he needs the clearance. Youtube Rubberlegz

Alliance Russian Parkour ‘Crew’ / ‘Team’. Looks a little bit like they are destroying their bodies, but they’re young, slightly crazy and doing huge tricks, doubles anywhere and everywhere. Youtube Alliance

Johan Bichot. Crazy cute and elegant acrobatics. Really different and really nice mood. Nice hat too. :D Youtube Johan

Peter Jasko – I found this video and was super awed by it. This guy is an amazing dancer, doing some super interesting stuff that I can’t describe very well. Watch it and see. Youtube PJ

Another one of Bram’s Video Challenge videos. This is pretty much like one of the best juggling videos I have ever seen. There I said it. He could have not done any juggling in this and it would have been equally as awesome.

You know, Me and Drew were saying there weren’t any good videos coming out, and then like three come along at once… Time to eat our words.

This one is totes spesh. Shot by some guy with a sweet camera and edited by none other than Ori Roth. It’s exactly what you want out of a juggling video, a sweet cameraman with a good eye and then a juggler to edit it, since he knows all about the jugglings.

Featuring everyone you ever wanted to see doing club manipulation (Jordaan, Sander, Lestage (The juggler from Psy)) and then some ball juggling. Ball juggling by the likes of Stefan Sing (!). There is so much win on this video that the word win doesn’t contain enough win to describe it.

Directed and shot by Ben Hopper http://THEREALBenHopper Edited by Ori Roth http://www.youtube.com/Aiyegbeni

I totally schedules this for later, so if it gets posted up by someone else before. Not my problems. I was totes first.

A promo for a circus full of lumberjacks, er sorry, Canadians. All the guys have at least a level 4 beard and in general it’s awesome. It features much silliness and quite a few hardcore circus skills.

Has this been on Ministry before? Well if not, this is my favourate lightbulb manipulation video. I didn’t think you could do ballet with lightbulbs. I was wrong.

Annetta Lucero, is there a better baton twirler? I don’t think so.

Workshop: Manc UnitEd – [/There is no Crew]

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

New Dimensional Movement and Manipulation.

Same plans as Edinburgh, really, just a bit more central/south.

Preliminary Infos, Subject to change:

When: 23-24 July 2011

4 x 2hour workshops.

Workshop 1 = Posture, body awareness, efficiency in movement, analysing movement, Balance.
Workshop 2 = Speed Control
Workshop 3 = Waves
Workshop 4 = Illusion disguised as Contact Juggling. Warp Drive Installation session.

Individual Workshop cost: £12
All 8 Hours Workshop cost: £40

Numbers limited to 20? Subject to change.

Venue: Antwerp Mansion, Manchester, UK

Booking Info: Email, Face, carrier pigeon, make it be known :)

What I will be teaching:

1 = The base code. Re-introducing people to themselves, how they move, and how to use it to our advantage. Your body is a prop too.
2 = How to stop, move slow, and move faster.
3 = Waves are more than just a dance. They go pretty deep too. I’ll help you understand them better.
4 = Illusion style Contact juggling. How to hold any prop, and make it look interesting. How to keep things still, move around things, and move things. Mind over matter.

Time to wake up and see what’s really going on! These techniques translate very easily to other areas of manipulation and performance. It’s no longer about what the ball is doing, it’s about what you are doing. no matter what prop you use, you’re there… I’ll install your Warp Drive, and make sure it’s functioning correctly. You won’t see things the same way again.

There is no Crew, and the UK is UnitEd!
