Masterful juggling from one of the best. I held my breath through most of this, and am without words to describe how deeply this inspires. It is a masterpiece of expressive juggling, with a constant play between the various emotional states and a huge depth and range of techniques. I’m feeling it; Stefan is awesome.

Bravo!!!! and a standing ovation for bringing this to youtube in 1080p.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From Youtube:

extracts from my performance at the festival “feux d’hiver” in calais (31.12.09)…. music from the album “rossz csillag allat született” by venetian snares … www.stefansing.com

Seems like nowadays all my inspiration comes from dance and acrobatic videos… and whatever Wes Peden posts…

Lewie West made a new video:

Seems like everytime he posts a new video, I’ll have to blog it. Sweet.

Ronan showed me a very old video of an amazing dancer and he just popped back onto the internet with a new collaboration video:

And the video that Ronan showed me which is still amazing: YouTube Link And thou the above video may contain some weirdness, this one contains pretty much just awesomeness and a lot of titles.

Finally, a man blogged on this blog before, Olivier Mathieu and his friend:Thierno Thioune. Doing some dance that even Ryan will think is amazing:

Going off to dance now…

Two friends of mine went to Kiev to train juggling with the crazy kids there. I talked to one of them (Petter) the other day and he said that they would be posting a video of some stuff they had been doing there along with some of what the ukranian guys are working on.

HOLY SHIT! I got so excited watching this! I’m not going to spoil the surprises for you but it’s an amazing video with incredible  technique and super new one ball and three ring work by the swedish representatives.

Make sure you check out Petters other video and subscribe to his account. He’s one of the coolest smartest jugglers I know and for sure someone to keep an eye on if you like awesome things.

last (inspiring) research with hoop and stick isolations by Nicolas Longuechaud.
Very nice work!

A recent video showcasing Mark’s practice sessions at the Katakomben in Berlin.

Mark doesn’t perform his juggling, so isn’t so well known to the masses, but I think he should be brought to more people’s attention.

The Best Skillz. innit.

More videos can be found on Stephen McGinley’s Youtube Profile. I highly recommend the 5 ball video, and eagerly await the four and three ball edits…

I think I understand why this guy is called Rubberlegz, thou it seems to have infected all of his limbs…

B-Boys doing solo dance numbers? Not in a battle? Yes it’s true! SWEEEEEET.

You’ll not believe where this guy can put his legs. In a good way.

What contempory circus would be if you had a dream of it and your dreams were extremely creative.

But wait, there’s going to be more: “James Thiérrée’s fourth full-length creation, Raoul (a theatre piece blending contemporary circus, movement, music and poetry) was co-commissioned by the Barbican Centre and will make its debut in London in October 2009.”

Damn you londoners.

Lovely, peaceful video of Moon, made by Sigalit Productions.

Lovely editing, camera work, manipulations… You really feel as if you can get to know Moon in this video as he shows how calm and methodical he is. Nice to have such a well made manipulation video with a personality.

Stunning work. More videos like this please!

Incredibly graceful, incredibly strong, actually really beautiful Aerial Straps from the ‘World Champion’ Straps artist, Igor Zaripov. I love watching this… you see something you’ve seen done before on straps, and then you blink and realise he is doing it the hard way, slowly and gracefully. Beautiful. Well done that man.

The people we’ve taken on as guest contributors over the years are awesome people.
When Kyle, Wes Peden, Moon, or MCP make a new video, you know it’s going to be good.

So this is a thank you, from me (Ryan) to the rest of the M.o.M crew. You guys rock, seriously. Thanks for stopping in and adding your favorite stuff here on M.o.M and thanks for your commitment to your disciplines. You are all phenomenal artists and we want to see more of you here!

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.

When you are on Youtube late at night and you are searching through the latest contact juggling uploads (searching for unknown gold), there is nothing more exciting than stumbling onto a bootleg clip of Okotanpe. Shot by some random guy visiting Japan, he thought this ‘crystal ball thing’ was pretty rad and so he filmed it and put the clip on Youtube for everyone to enjoy. I hope he left a nice tip.

Okotanpe’s isolations are tight, and the multiball progression from 2-6 balls is clean with quick changes. Respect to the random tourist in Japan too; he has a steady shot and even manages some nice close-ups.
