The Irish dancing thread (v2.0)

-Kings of Concrete-

Who's going to this thing down at the amphitheatre near the civic offices?
BMX, skateboarding, drumming, graffitti etc?

was there last year and it was lots of fun.

Happens TODAY and from NOW onwards

and Cam, what the hell are you doing up so early, you must be in on an early shift I guess?

If anyones up for it give me a shout and we can all go on the nack.

You up for a spin, and a few SH1tfaced giggles then? bring your poi and a 6 of dutch...I ifinish work at 17:00!!!! Who else is up for it? Go on you know youll end up watching cornation street eating cornflakes if you dont come out!

bugger i only saw this thread now

howya cam! aint seen ya in an age i sat at home sat night doing nothing...aww...ahh well

Well considering how it totally threw down with rain on saturday you didn't miss all that much....

OK, whos MAAAAD for a spot of Urban Park juggling? complete with Boozy extras and a bit of Cheeky SMoke-age? Merrion SQ 18:00 till we get kicked out.

Howdy Splint...I ended up at home too...As Martin said, weather was a pile of scrote.

i missed this again

ah twas a good day,those pentagrams and stars are mind boggling though Cameron.

hey guys, hope everyone is doing well in spite of this crappy excuse for summer weather!

i have a question for all you groovy fireheads!
after messing around with beginner poi for a couple of months now, i'm ready to buy my first set of fire poi!

soooo... i would love to hear your recommendations on what kind i should get! i'm really thinking about the cathedral ball chain set on this site. or do you think, being a newbie, i should start with something like the weka set, with smaller flames? please give me your thoughts!

thanks guys!

Cathedral link chain would be my preferance...thats the first ones i bought about two yrs ago didnt change them until i feckin got them taken off me in Manchester airport.

They'll last practically forever, they look really good, only thing is they're quite heavy and take a bit of gettin used to. Just practice with them before lightinn them!!

hope this helps

Cathedrals have ferocious flames on em, and burn for decades, so their good in that regard, but only if you feel comfortable with that...LOL! SHades of Grey how are ye! Yeah those 5 pointed star things are odd, it forces the poi into anti spin, then into a stall and back to normal time...Ive been messing with those "one over the shoulder, one behind the back" stall things you were showing me...Theyre Purdy...Hows the over the head isolation coming ?

Is anybody else going to perform at kilkenny arts festival?

whens the kilkenny festival on ? If its next weekend I wouldnt mind stalling along and doin a spot o Buskin ? If its this weekend im afraid not.

It started yesterday and is running until the 19th.

In case you missed it on the emeraldcircus mailing list (or on www.emeraldcircus.com)

Coming to a Naas near you:

The first Naas juggling convention in recorded history.
22 & 23rd September

Woohoo!

Fiona is organising.
Naas GAA hall is the venue.

I hear that Naas is very near Dublin, and very easy to get to from just
about anywhere in the country.

It is said that Naas is a satellite town, so the earths' gravity field
is obviously a bit weaker there, and nowhere in the world has 14 balls
been flashed more often than in Naas GAA hall...

Stay tuned to emeraldcircus (and www.emeraldcircus.com) for more
details.

PS
If you think you have to choose between this convention and the Clon
convention, the choice is easy: come to both.
If you're still not sure, I will be holding a two part workshop on how
to choose which juggling convention to go to. Part one will be given in
Naas, part two in Clon.

Now that you mention it I probably should get off my arse and tell ye all a bit about the Clonakilty juggling convention.

CLONAKILTY JUGGLING CONVENTION:

Thursday 27th - Sunday 30th September.
-24 hour hall
-food available on site (so you should be able to juggle/spin for a solid 72 hours before having to leave )
-Darragh's supposed to be organising fancy German jugglers to come over - I've heard rumours of Marco Paoletti and Stephan Sing being interested, as well as super contact staffers Josh and Valerie...we'll have to see.
-fire show
-workshops (I already have stretching circles, hybrids, throws, flowers workshops prepared - anyone have any special requests for other poi workshops? Who else is gonna teach some workshops? Rob? Eimhin? Aidan, Amelie?) Alexander technique, sushi and other workshops of randomness
-sunday games
-Boggle juggling shop
-Camping (Desert House Camping) is available 5 mins walk away and in the past groups of jugglers have rented apartments between large groups of them to keep costs down - search google

So everyone start preparing your workshops ye want to give, and leave requests for workshops here or at http://www.emeraldcircus.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=175]emerald circus








Hope to see ye there
Ronan
