This masterclass is for all the people who want and like to throw things in the air. We will explore different techniques of manipulation of objects, group awareness, designing group pictures through the task of creating "machines”, we will learn individual and group juggling and most of all we'll have fun. We will learn different juggling tricks, we will practice static and moving juggling, we will test ourselves by passing the object with short and long distances between us, we will do exercises in improvisation. All of that while deeply respecting the basic principles of street theater. We will work on the dynamics of things in the air and among us, group tempo and the technique of figure. We might come up with one or two of our own.
We welcome well seasoned jugglers who love to publicly show off their skills, we welcome aficionados of abstract art and we also welcome total beginners. If you are tickled by reading this, but you don’t know how to juggle, take the bull by the balls! We won’t teach the basics of juggling in the workshop itself, but we will find a way for all participants to enjoy and learn something new.
