    Paper manipulation from Sigmoga at Quebec circus school.
    Such a simple idea, brilliant exploration and Innovation.
    ~0:30 sec is one of those great moments that make you say: “Huh, what!! Rewind.”
    It would be great to see an act come from this.

    Machine du spectacle JONGLEUR! de NIKOLAUS, Cie PRE-O-C-COUPE.

    Reminiscent of Fischli and Weiss – der lauf der ding (The way things go) art instiallation from 1987.

    Wes has been releasing a series of short clips on his blog, and finally put 30 of them together into a short video which is very cool. If you’ve never seen any of this before, then you probably aren’t checking his blog.

    http://papermacheanimals.tumblr.com/

    My favorite thing about the way this was made is that you can now click through the blog and see his notes about each of the concepts he is exploring in the thirty short clips. It becomes a great resource for creative-thinking jugglers and an insight into his own creative process.  Really neat collection of stuff, more bonus points to Wes Peden!

    Bolita, a dance with one long poi tied to your belt.
    This is a very interesting concept in manipulation, with a LOT of possibility.
    (Even if the dance footage has been cut to the wrong music, it maybe best to watch the dancing without the sound.)
    Does anyone have any more information?
