New home for the Contact Juggling community
Okay, now we’re getting into it. This is a very condensed introduction to the idea of establishing a fixed point and the illusions that we can create. Less of an exercise here and more of a notion to have in your head as you continue to play, at some point it should click into place…
Lovely addictive enigmas, there are more variations than jugglers so you can really set it about them and make them your own. The mechanics are incredibly simple and after a few minutes will be lodged firmly in your brain. This is a perfect day 1 contact technique.
Lisa, a.k.a sylver_cat, draws from an extensive background in dance to show us how important posture can be. Often when we’re juggling we can put strain on our bodies without even realising it and over time this can become significant. Anyone who has dealt with multiball inflicted carpal tunnel, or matrix inflicted back problems will…
There’s so much to think about, so much to talk about. We love chestrolls and we talk about them a lot. Here’s some theory about making them big and slow and round.
Want to hear this one crazy trick to improve your chest rolls? Wait, wait, this is actually a legitimate video. Chest rolls are amazing and amazing chest rolls are probably our favourite things to see and do, so we’re putting a bunch of thought into how we can make them good for everyone (the secret is triangles)
If the title’s semantic satiation didn’t give it away, for the next couple of weeks we’re focusing on learning contact. Looking at how we learn, why we learn, whether we can more effectively learn and teach and hopefully helping you flood your mind-brains with delicious knowledge thoughts. In this week’s discussion Dawn and Briney start off with the…
We’re very proud to announce our first community contributed video, and thankfully we’ve avoid any awkward social niceties because it is genuinely brilliant. The very lovely Steve Wilbury noticed our mountain top beacons were lit and sprung into action as every good New Zealand resident should. That’s right it’s a 15 year old Lord of…
Hello yous! It’s ALIVE! It’s actually happening. We’re so happy to see you all; faces and friends, familiar and new. Welcome to our new corner of the world. We’ve posted loads about our definitions of contact juggling, but there’s a really important aspect we didn’t mention yet…community. That’s what we are seeking to create and foster…
We were super happy to have a great, in-depth chat with Nik aka LCD aka Pingo aka Elsie Dee. A true pioneer of isolation and illusion based contact. He offered some fantastic insight into his role and his experiences during a major shift in the possible definition of contact, plus he’s really lovely. In our current spirit of…
Renowned British scientist and polymath Sir Isaac Newton famously made many of his breakthroughs by clambering up very tall people in order to improve his vision. As modern-day contactivists it is harder for us to form such lanky human pyramids, so instead we must build and extrapolate on the work of those who have come…
