Students from the circus school in Bordeaux, Dorian Thevenet, Boris Couty, Dimitri Rizelo, strun Lucas, Bruno Samon, Maxime Sales and Tom Lacoste, clearly put a lot of effort into making this video, great filming, great skills. and great use of white powder. ACE.
The spin on the unicycle (4:40) and the 2 toe spin on skates (5:40) stand out for me.
Thanks Maelle for the link. Smiles, Drew

New 25 minute juggling film from Arjan Groenendijk:

Made in Taiwan, as the title implies, is shot in Taiwan over a period of 6 weeks during Arjan’s internship at MHD. The editing is done by Martijn Halekor and the music is provided by Bas Septer (Substrate). The collaborative effort between these three creators has resulted in a 25 minutes long diabolo film. The 10 chapters contain Arjan’s unique diabolo manipulations and innovative, technical diabolo juggling.

Tr’espace are always awesome. This is a trailer of their various shows. It’s beautifully made but obviously is just small excerpts. It also have diabolo on a horse. You don’t see that everyday. Well I don’t anyway.
