London - Contact Juggling - 6 Week Course...3/1/05

Yo Y'all.

Edit: now with Dates for the 6 week - monday evening course, watch this space for details on the weekender

I thought that it would be a really good thing to run a course on Ball Contact.

So I wrote one, and if I don't say so myself, its the shizzle nizzle. cool

If is successful, I'll think about doing more - stick contact and poi. biggrin

WHO FOR:

Its aimed at complete beginners up to people who have been playing for 1 year.

Small group size - 8 people.

WHAT WILL YOU GET OUT OF IT:

In the 6 evening course I reckon you will learn as much as you would get from 6 months to a year of practicing it on you own AND because of the good grounding in technique, over the next 6 months you will progress at about 2X the pace you would have done without. and you will have enough material to keep you busy for at least 3 years of practice.

It will be really F**king good, I promise.

And lots of not taking things too seriously.

WHAT WILL BE IN IT:

Its going to be covering the fundamentals of this Lot:

-Isolations

-technique more technique

-Lots of 1 ball

-Rolling Arm rolls and rolling ubbrollsmile

-Palm spinning

-Snakes - normal, 3D, digital and helical snakes

-Balancing and stalls and holds

-Pyramids manipulations and some basic formations

-More Isolations

-Mixing with throw juggling

-How to be smooth

-Meditation

-Multi-person contact

-Musicality, flow, presenting and making it look good and dancing for those who want them.

-Even More different Isolations and more good technique.

-Every night there will be a 30 minute screening of video clips showing some if the most inspirational, Contact, manipulation, juggling, craziness and dance.

-Essentials on warming up and warming down and avoiding long term injury.

-And I've got a bit of time for requests from everyone on moves that they would like to cover.

WHERE:

I want to try to keep the cost down for beginners course so I will run in mine and Doms front room in Brixton, South London. Its big and has a padded floor.

WHEN:

6 Monday nights: Starting Monday 10 January to Monday 14/21 February (probably skip valentines day TBC)

Time: 7:15pm to 10:30pm

and yes I will run the weekend course soon, but I decided to run this one first, because its cool. and because coleman and Steve kept asking nicely smile

COST:

For 6 Monday nights: 40 quid

BALLS:

You need to bring at least 1 ball, does not need to be acrylic. But it is better if you have at least 2 or 3 of your own acrylics for last 4 weeks.

I've only got enough CJ balls for 5 people to practice 4. So there have to be a few places for folk who have their own balls.

ME:

I've been doing contact for 9 years and teaching poi, staff contact and ball contact it for at least 7, I do workshops every year at the British, European, London, Bristol conventions and last years British contact juggling convention.

I CJ usually with 1 to 10 acrylics or 1 stage ball and last time I went busking CJ I came back with a Girlfriend. That was a surprise.

Anything else:

There will be biscuits AND Tea. smile

This is a really good opportunity to learn CJ
