Wes Peden – Thirty (short clip compilation)

Monday, November 21st, 2011

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.

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!

Don’t know how it took us so long to post this here, and you’ve probably all seen it already, but it still deserves to be posted. Very good juggling from Francesco.

The third and final MRL took place in Stockholm, Sweden, on March 22-25, 2010, with Jay Gilligan, Wes Peden, Luke Wilson, Erik Åberg, Matias Salmenaho, Ron Beeri and Patrik Elmnert.

Over four days we explored tricks, and the objects we do them with. What habits of creation did we have? What props were good for what things? How does choice of material change the technique?

The video goes offline November 30th! you snooze you loose!

Mariya Rachickaya – Hand balancing with contact juggling

Tuesday, November 8th, 2011

YouTube Preview Image
WoW, here at MoM HQ, we though we’d seen Multiball Contact Juggling, until this arrived in our inbox this morning.
Absolutely unbelievable – this is just brilliant, highlights at 0:47 and 3:05, and and hold out to the end for an awesome way into 8 ball palmspinning.
We cannot find out anything more about Mariya Rachickaya online, perhaps one of our Russia readers can point us to her professional webpage.
Bravo.

With Thanks to Thomas from Flame Oz for the link.

About manipulation

Saturday, October 8th, 2011

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!
