New home for the Contact Juggling community
Day 10. So today we’re going to map out our music. This idea was inspired by MCP back in 2008. Mike wrote it out somewhere on Home Of Poi. This is used by a lot of dancers and choreographers everywhere. What we’re going to do is we’re going to get a piece of paper and…

There are so many times this question has been asked, and yet I never considered to make a tutorial about it. What are the first 5 things that you want to try to do with a ball when you first pick one up? Well NOW YOU KNOW!
Something fundamental in Contact Juggling that is never discussed is basic posture and technique with the body. Often we just say “learn dance!” but these practices can take years, and no one online has much help for those of us in small regions who can’t access those cool juggling workshops that are held worldwide.

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…
Over the past few years, I (Dawn) have learned to really take my time and spend 30 minutes every day to get into the body. It is a mindfulness practice which can help you delve deeper into the flow state when you are in your practice. Another piece of this puzzle is an essay over at…
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…

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…
