A long-awaited video from Costa Rica featuring Burning Dan, Alien Jon, Baz, and Nick Playpoi spinning to the music of Reza Moosavi. Amazingly high quality cinematography and video editing skills by Matthew Boyd :) If Baraka were a poi video, it would look like this :)

This is a nicely put together small documentary that I would like to see as a large one on object manipulation in general. It features interviews with a few spinners and jugglers from the San Francisco Bay Area of California,  on their favorite subject of fire and object manipulation.

I especially like Jordan’s realization about his life. : )

Speedlinks – 16/04/09

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

We used to have a “suggest a link” page – Put if fell off the site in one of the updates last year, – So we’ve put it back (under manipulation links). Meantime some people have e-mailed us links, thank you. We’re having a tidy up and posting a few:
* 4 person interactive poi spinning… – link from Splinter on .org thanks.
* Porte à Porte – combines Cigar boxes with digital Manipulation – Thanks to Pich for the Link.
* Nata Galkina. Foot Juggling. Antipoden. Антипод – thanks to Marco Paoletti for the link.
* Nata Galkina (Feet-Füße-Ноги) Unusual love story. – Also sent by Marco.
Mr. Boul Juggling – Some contact, some Baffoonery in a big ball.

You could be forgiven for not knowing that the Ministry just had one of its biggest, and most successful events, a week long workshop in the Katakomb, Berlin. as there has been no write up on here. Some news leaking out on .org. Hopefully if we drop a few hints, Ed will post a longer write up about it.
