Hiya all

I hope you have had a great festival and holiday season.

We are arranging teachers to come in more regularly to add a bit of verity and to help boost numbers.

we meet from 6,30 and workshos planned start at 8pm:

30 September a poi beginners and intermediate work shop
21st October durbs from burnt toast will be coming in to teach some cool poi tricks and on the 28th oct, Will is coming back in to do more ball juggling and manipulation.

Every week Chris is available to teach some contact ball juggling.

If there is a workshop you would like, please let me know and I will se if we can arrange it…

You can find us from 6,30ish to 10ish at The Rag Factory, 16-18 Heneage Street, London E1 5LJ. We are only 7 mins walk from the old spitz venue.

We then venture to The Pride of Spitalfields for drinks after.

Looking forward to seeing you again

Kev & Chris

Woot

Now all i need is a list of cool tricks to teach

Ola!

7th October I'll be doing a rope dart workshop... I'll bring a couple of spares but if you can bring your own!

The best ropes to use are marine lines or cotton bondage rope (my favourite!) and I'd reckomend something soft on the end for a weight (tie a sock poi on the end of some rope for a basic one) for beginners.

See you on Tuesday ( ...or Friday at Luminopolis :~) )

Hiya all

Hope your all well. Thanks tom for doing the rope dart workshop last Tuesday.

Next Tuesday we have Chris teaching some contact juggling and probably some ball “on the head” balancing. On the 21st, Durbs from burnt toast will be in teaching some cool tricks with poi and on the 28th, will is coming back to do some more ball juggling and numbers juggling work shops.

Please come and say hello and have a play.

If you want to run a workshop, please drop me an email.

Hugs

Kev

One day I shall get over the change in venue and actually make it down. Offers of hugs and cocktails may speed things up a bit...

I shall give you a hug Dubs!!
That's right, everyone's favourite Boy is in town :-D

Where and what time is it?

(from a few posts up)





Nearest tube stop is Aldgate East

Hi all,
thought it was about time that i posted something on here. I'll be doing a contact workshop this tuesday (14/10/08) It would be really cool to have a few people come, as it helps to have a few people at the start. I'm always there opening up so i'm allways happy to teach, something. I'd also like to thank everyone that come's every week to support us. I feel it's important to keep spinning @ going. Please tell yor friends. It would be really cool to get more people every week. Thanks everyone see you on tuesday :-)

Hiya all

Don’t forget that this week we have durbs from the performing group “Burnt toast” coming in to share some cool poi tricks with you…

And the week after we have will back in with some more funky ball juggling


See you spinning@the rag factory this Tuesday from 6, 30 pm onwards

Kev

Woo!
Yeah!
Go Toast!
etc. etc.

I believe there's even a strong Guildford contingent turning up this week too, so the night will probably descend into drunken chaos and abuse. Apologies in advance for that.

I've got a nice little list of tricks to teach people, hopefully of enough interest for most levels.
If there's anything in particular people would like to learn, let me know and i'll see what i can do

Hi all,
Thank to durbs for coming last tuesday. Also everone else that turned up, please keep coming along. As kev said wil is coming this tuesday for some cool ball juggeling stuff. I can always do some more contact with anyone who wants. Were hoping to have someone in the week after, but we are yet to confirm who. Either some more staff or a hoop workshop. Keep an eye on the tread for more info. See you all soon and keep playing

hiya all

it has been a great couple of weeks and last week we hit 60 people ... 1st time since we moved. Loads of teaching in poi, stilts and juggling.

next week we have jeb the jester comming in with his tight rope. so if you want to go out on the line.... come and have a go. Tom has also offered some beginners staff workshops....

I looking into colaborating with some other jugling clubs and groups to put on THE LONDON JUGGLERS XMAS PARTY. It will be at the rag factory where we play now but on friday the 12th december... keep it free and more info will follow.....


You can find us every tuesday from 6,30ish to 10ish at The Rag Factory, 16-18 Heneage Street, London E1 5LJ.

kev

p.s. when i say juggling i really mean all circus related activities.... not just ball juggling.

hiya all,

Well as kev said the last couple of weeks have been great around 60 people, so i just wanna thank you all for your support.

I'm really looking forward to the party it's gonna be loads of fun. Just wanted to add some news about that. I've been working on a live VJ project over the last month. The VJ i'm working with will be coming alone to the party to provide a live/interactive VJ thing. So don't forget your toys, as you all be part of the visual entertainment for the night.

I'm wont be able to come alone this week as i have a gig in bouenmouth, so i'll see you all next week. Don't give kev to much hassel soon all Chrisx

Well frock me it took ages to find this thread but I'm probably just locationally challenged. Anyway, I think a respectable period for mourning the death of old Spitz has now past and I am now ready to come to terms with this new Rag factory place. Hopefully bringing some other Guildfordianish peeps with me. See y'all tomorrow...

Ok... I really shall try to make it this week, especially as some guilfordianish people are there...

(I know i say this *every* time...)

Someone kick me into going please, or send my abusive texts, or offer me chocolate. Any of those three are bound to work.

PJB21

JOY I will be there with bells and sprinkles.

Maybe. Depends if I can get someone to drive from Brizzle.

I'd best come up with some sort of renegade routine, huh?

C'MON Ed! I'd drive you. Except I don't have a car. And I can't drive. And I'm not in Bristol. But still, all that hypothetical effort I'd put in for you, you need to put in whatever hard slog is necessary to get yourself there. Really.

Hiya... another great week with loads of people and much poi teaching...

The party is getting close... please bring a bottle or beer or something. For suggestions on what to bring, (to ensure variety) please PM me...

I called it a renigade but its more like an open stage (please still heckle) as its happening from 8pm to 9,30. We already have many good acts so please come early...

Hugs

Kev

Dear All

Our Xmas party was a great success… we had about 15 fantastic acts in the show and a turnout of about 150 people. We have raised some money to invest in some new toys and we have a little back up funds…

so a very big thank you to everyone who came and had a great night, a huge thanks to everyone who helped set up and take down the area…. it looked fab.

Thanks to all those who contributed drinks, lights and anything else,

And a special thanks to Chris brown for helping in the planning of the event…

What do you think of a summer party????

We will be meeting all Tuesdays through the Xmas and New Year and we hope to see you there…

Have fun….. We do!!!!

Kev

We are still meeting at the rag factory every week even this Tuesday, so we would love to see you there. I would like us to run a programme of workshops again this year. If you would like to run one or you would like one run please let me know and we can work out a schedule.
