Cute new vid from the french hoop isolationist Furet.  What are we calling these shapes now?

After moving to a new area of Paris I decided to make a video out of it, using some of my stuff and research around my excentric circles.

Après un déménagement dans un nouveau quartier de Paris, j’ai voulu que cela soit un point de départ pour une nouvelle vidéo, prétexte pour partager quelques unes de mes recherches avec mes cercles excentriques.

Ah, ok. They are called excentric circles.

Super rings manipulation video by our friend Riky from Sardinia.

enjoy!

Some new ideas with eightrings by Moon. Hope you like it..! thanks for watching!

In August 2011, Ryan Mellors, Pich, Pilolip and Okotanpe met together at the ‘Maison Des Jonglages” in Paris to try and solve a problem:  contact juggling and manipulation performances often have a small visual effect,  ideal for video but very difficult to play to a large stage or stadium venue. We wanted to create material which  communicated large graphical effects to a distant crowd, and we developed 3 short ‘graphic manipulation’ choreographies which we are excited to be sharing with you now.

We feel this is a good first step in our ongoing collaboration.

IsoBaton and Ball routine coming soon… www.piryokopi.net

“About Manipulation” is a project wanted, created and directed by Moon and Ministry of Manipulation. We’ve tought there a lot of videos with people playing, and so few videos with people talking about their experiences and ideas in contact juggling. So we’ve tried to show you what’s behind a contact juggler, and what he lives with this amazing art.

Ejc was the perfect moment to do this full length (19 mins.) movie; we are sorry because there were so much great contact jugglers we’ve missed at Ejc (Okotanpe, Richard Hartnell, Kyle Johnson..just some big names)..but as you probably know weather was terrible and time wasn’t so much. We’ve chosen some interesting, new and old, personalities in contact juggling world, and ask them what’s contact juggling, how’s changing and where is going. So, this is a gift for the contact juggling community and for the new wave of contact jugglers. Hope you’ll like it…Please feel free to share it wherever you want. Big thanks to Stefano Ricci and Federico Tasso for the patience and help.

And obviously..thank YOU for watching!

Pilolip is a french contact manipulation artist who I worked with during the Piryokopi collaboration (alongside Okotanpe and Pich) We will be releasing a trailer of our new show fairly soon, but until then… here are a few clips of his work.

Also, check  out his heavy heavy heavy 1ball isolation, strobing and waving stuff.

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!

This is awesome. Tricks? Techniques? Who cares, how weird is it to get a hula hoop point of view?

Like:

My entire world consists of this woman and she keeps rolling around inside of me. Weird. I definitely haven’t had any dreams like that. I feel like a hamster ball… Like I’m the hamster ball, and the woman is the hamster. But we’re not on a journey, we’re just standing there. Weird. Anyway.

An extract from my act “Sleepless”. Hope you like it..thanks for watching!

Do you like wiggling AND like balls?
Here’s MoM’s very own Ed, ripping it up at the Gala show of Play festival last week. Woot.
There were cameras with tripods, we will see if we can get some better footage online soon.

Here it is, our 2011 collaboration video.
Contact Juggling, an ancient art recently codified and popularized by Michael Moschen, is as indefinable as it is magical. Rather than try to describe it, the community of ContactJuggling.org began this project to show you how each of us sees Contact Juggling. Whether dance, juggling, mime, or magic (or perhaps all four or none at all), this video showcases years of hard work by artists across four continents, each bound together by a common interest but all unique in their study.
