The Irish dancing thread (v2.0)

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

Nope nope... and you're missed lady

belfast new year party poss?Ages away I suppose to be worrying about that

howdy doody folks!

i'm just back from travelling and have been meaning to hook up with a few irish spinners lately. however reality beckons, wot with sortin out a job etc, i havent been around . so i was wondering:

does anyone meet up regularly in stephen's green/ merrion square anymore? i know it was on the front page of this forum but it seems to have disappeared



maybe will see some of ya down at EP over the weekend - looking forward to a good spinny session then! (note to self: must buy fuel)



also just checkin if my new avatar uploading worked!

look forward to meeting up with yiz over the next few months!

eh that'll be a negatory on the avatar then. stupid computers!
deep breath

See you at Electric Picnic

We'll be at the Body and Soul area... anyone else heading that way... see you there

(not sure what the story is with people spinning fire though...)

hey Jean,

Yeah we still meet up in Merrion Park on Tuesday, so see you tomorrow.

Mairead.

If anyone posts the dates, times and suchlike of other meetings going on around the country, I'll add them to the first post...

nice 1 folks!

see yiz soon!

We finally confirmed the hall for the Clonakilty Juggling convention and unfortunately we couldn't get the hall for the Thursday so its back to Friday, Saturday and Sunday (28th,29th,30th September) - but it will be 24 hour

So who's teaching some workshops?
Any requests for workshops? What do people want to learn?

I like learning

I want to learn how to teleport myself... Ronan... I want YOU to teach me how to teleport.

(you have about four weeks to learn )

I want to learn how to stop gravity, and Ghandi to teach it to me.

On a more realistic note, a sushi making workshop by anyone would be pretty amazing,
Or a "The state of your head, let me help you with your dreads...You poor poor hippy" Workshop. poss by Sue ?

or a Workshop on eating with your eyes closed/In the dark/Confined spaces like Gollum, could be fun.

A multitasking workshop, how to rub your stomach and pat your head.

Magic workshop?

I could go on all day, the only problem is finding people to do the workshops.

Right,
I sent this by text to a few people, but I guess that they're all too poor to buy credit, hopefully they can pike off their bosses internet connection .......

Who's coming to The Electric Picnic then?

I know we'll see you there Clare, anyone else for a blissed out fest down the country?

Hmm..

To add to your list...

Lisa
James
May
Felix (I think)
The Jahm Band (:) )
Andrew C
