This is mad new style hooping, of yes, awesome. Not quite sure of the name of the girl yet, apart from Jane, been trying to find out if she was supposed to be at the Sydney Juggling Convention.

Anyway, she does mad awesome hooping on a pole, so that you get the low space underneath you, she uses that to great effect, makes the pole do hoop, does pancakes and beautiful juggling transitions and owns some of the old style Bob Branson hoop rolling… Epic, watch it.

Fellow Bristolians, the super fun Pantalooneys have won a well earned Hoopie, the “Performance of the Year Hoopie Award 2010″. Dang, the hooping community is so organised. You can see the rest of the 2010 winners here.

New videos!

Bri is one of the fun, creative minds from The Prop Box (which is a unit in The Vulcan building). She also makes wind-up toys. : )

Ballspinning, shes bringing it back.

New Hoop isolation video from Nicolas Longuechaud – Pacman Style, who will be at Clone-a-Kitty Manipulation Convention next month.

hundreds of juicy concepts from the crazies in San Francisco.

Word on the street is…
Poki and Brian are working on a hoop isolation DVD.

From the 2008 EJC, Furet (Nicolas Longuechaud) from Paris presents a new piece of isolation performance with rings which makes me smile. I liked it enough that I made a cheesy fan poster to hang on my wall.

Cheers to Furet for the ministry credit in the video. We remember him when he was just a kid on some internet forum Be sure to check out : Other Furet videos you haven’t seen yet!

I (Ryan Mellors) edited most of this series in the passenger seat while Dawn drove the car; admiring the scenery in between stops at Tim Hortons (where we would recharge on caffeine and latop power) and late-night diners. We drove 2000 miles through a slowly changing landscape, our car loaded with balls of all sizes, hoops, tetrahedrons, bendy sticks, half-spheres, blocks and a video camera. Our objective: build the community, find others like us and explore what this ‘contact juggling’ thing is all about. Shoot lots of video and get to Montreal without running out of money.

Thanks to all who came to the workshops and to all the supportive musicians who offered music for the project. Today marks the official release of the series; 9 short videos documenting the journey. Click below for the videos (RT: 38min,) descriptions and prop contents, as well as a download link in 720×480 .wmv.

-BEGIN ENCODED TRANSMISSION-
Code Red Circus Conspiracy (www.circusconspiracy.com), a performance troupe based in Oakland California, recently began on a mission to uncover the secrets of hoop isolation and partner hoop manipulation. Brian Thompson and Matt McCorkle, top Conspiracy field agents, have been in deep cover at the vulcan studios for the last three months gathering evidence and preparing their outrageous discoveries for public consumption. This is their first official report.
