London - Contact Juggling - 6 Week Course...25/04/05 – 30/5/05

Yo Y'all,

After the success of the last evening course, I’ve been getting a few requests to run my course on Ball Contact Juggling again.

So I am, Yippeeeee

Details:

WHO FOR: Its aimed at complete beginners to people who have been playing for 2 years. Small group size - 8 people.

WHAT WILL YOU GET OUT OF IT: Enough material to keep you busy for at least 2 years of practice. 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. It will be really good, I promise.

WHAT WILL BE IN IT: Its going to be covering the fundamentals of 1 to 4 balls:

-Isolations

-technique more technique

-Lots of 1 ball

-Rolling Arm rolls and rolling

-Palm spinning

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

-Balancing and stalls and holds

-Pyramids manipulations

-More Isolations - enigmas and enigma variations

-How to be smooth

-Multi-person contact

-Musicality, flow, presenting and making it look good

-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. smile

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 25th April to Monday 30th May

Time: 7:15pm to 10:30pm

COST: For 6 nights: 45 quid

BALLS: You need to bring at least 1 ball, does not need to be acrylic. But it is better if you have 2-4 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 11 acrylics or 1-4 stage balls 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.

This is a really good opportunity to learn CJ

Please e-mail or PM me and reply below if you’re interested, even if you can’t make the dates above, first come/silliest message gets the places first. bounce
