Excerpts of Circles

April 16, 2008 | 4 Comments

I had the pleasure to meet Nicolas Longuechaud in Paris last year, and was blown away by his skill and creativity with hoop isolations. The video Extraits de Cercles (which I believe translates as Excerpts of Circles, please correct me if you know otherwise) is a nice collection of musings and research. […]

Old Time Circus in New Time Files

February 13, 2008 | 2 Comments

When I’m performing as a visualist one of the genres that I sometimes like to use is vintage circus.   There always seems  to be a lot of people that come and ask where one can find the old stuff, and even people that are not particularly circus orientated seem to find it fascinating.  So here […]

Hillary Carlip on the Gong Show

September 7, 2007 | 2 Comments

And now for something completely different…

JTV Link
Hillary Carlip appearing on The Gong Show in the 70’s.  She won with this comedy jugging routine. She seems like quite a funny character. She has a kooky looking autobiography called Queen of the Oddballs.
This video is streaming from the Vaults over at JTV (Juggling TV).  IMHO […]

Sixteen Ways to Manipulate a Motif

June 27, 2007 | 9 Comments

OK.  This is an amazing text.  It’s intended for dancers, but applies wonderfully to object manipulation.  You can take a riff or motif (or a ‘trick’ for those tech peeps), and tweak it.  Lots.  We played with it a bit @ Feuerkunst Berlin, and the talented Fabien asked if we could get a copy online.  […]
