Contact Juggling & Body throws,
Movement and Expression.
Beginners Workshop:
The aim of the workshop is to give an introduction in moving with and manipulation of objects; exploring the notions of space (positive, negative and planes…), rhythm and movement.
After a long experience of teaching workshops to beginners (non jugglers) and jugglers I have developed a step by step explorative approach to juggling and object manipulation.
The workshop is for total beginners as well as professionals, it teaches technique in a playful, exploratory way.
Through development of body awareness the participants discover possibilities and methods of moving with objects (ie. the basics of contact juggling) .
It gets people moving in surprising ways; Approaching the skill of juggling in this way allows beginners to advance rapidly and advanced jugglers to develop new ways of moving away from their habits.
The ‘exploration’ of the object is a key part of this workshop; letting participants unleash their creativity.
The workshop covers contact juggling tricks (basic to advanced), body throws ( in and around the body) and throws into contact (contact-toss).
“Once you drop you can’t stop” has kept me passionately addicted to juggling…
