A few people have e-mailed me to ask what music was played during Drews Musicality Workshop at EJC 2006
Also at Play Festival, and at Ueberpoi 2005 and Nottingham 2005

Here’s the track listing:
Quannum - “I Changed My Mind”
The warm up spin was too this lovely track which Ryan and I used as the soundtrack for the Bodyrolling Montage

The Turtles - Happy Together
For the Beat and bigger changes in the music

Yann Tiersen - Amelie Soundtrack Tracks 2 and 3 A great album for movers manipulatiors and Jugglers.

Zeida - Track 1 French hip hop that I got from the Berlin Circus crowd, I don’t even know if I spell it right or what the album is called!

Gorillaz – Clint Eastwood
for the wicked Bass line

Serge Gainsbourg - Angoisse
Feeling and mood - Sadness

Shimon and Andy C - Body Rock
Feelig and mood - Bounce bounce

Unknown Artist - Zorba the Greek
A wicked progessive tempo version which starts too slow to do anything useful, and finishes too fast. I didn’t play this at EJC this time but normally do in the workshop.

Paul Mauriat - Etude in the Form of Rythm and Blues and
Walther Murphy - 1/5th of Beathoven - from the Saturday night Fever Soundtrack
Fun stuff at the end - I’ve soo got to make routines to these 2.

A huge thank you to the super dude peg master Burning Dan for once again rescuing me in the Music Department. That’s 3 times now, this is starting to become a habit. Thanks dude.
And big thanks to everyone who came and wiggled and made it soo much fun for me to run. :)
Any other questions just post them below in coments
Smiles

The Ministry of Manipulation presents:

EJC

Ladies and Gentlemen…

This years EJC was a special experience for all those contact jugglers that attended. Its a rare occasion when so many talented artists get together in one place… we had Greg, Jaine and Therione from America, Dawn and Ryan from Canada, Drew, Jago, Matt Hennem and Colin from the UK, Pich, Bruno and Furet from France, George and Chris from Greece, Em from Sardinia, Mot and Marco from Holland, and plenty more….

Now imagine trying to compress the entirety of those 9 days into only 10 minutes. Filmed by Dawn, edited by Ryan, with a special credit to Matt Hennem for the aerial photography of the site (not to mention the wicked contact) we are proud to present:

10 minutes; 75mb, 720×480 Widescreen

Video - MoM Workshop + Play Festival

Friday, June 16th, 2006

Ryan sneeked out a quick video of one of our thursday night workshops a couple of weeks ago. Somehow it never got mentioned on this Blog.

There’s no Workshop next thursday, Ryan, Drew and Jeanine (and Dawn, Ed and a whole load of others) will all be at Play festival. Theres even a rumour that we’re going to perform and teach manipulation workshops. As far as I know Play is the worlds most brilliant, and most chilled manipulation festival with a lot of music and live bands too.
If you can get there, do.

And yes, it really is a manipulation festival, not a juggling festival. Play rocks.
