Pearls of Juggling took me just about 5 years to complete. It was a long creative process.
Inspired by the book “The Zen of Juggling” by Dave Finnigan I started to hold creative residential workshops for jugglers. Combining Yoga, physical theatre and ideas I was starting to forge on juggling practise.
The first of these workshops was held in the year 2000, in Fossa near Aquila that was unfortunately heavily damaged by the earthquakes in 2009.
Between 2003 and 2006 my quest took me to study physical theatre at the renowned Dimitri School in Switzerland. I had learned to juggle in the UK in 1994 and started a daily yoga practise in 1998 under the guidance of Yoga master Mario Verri at the Purna Yoga Center in Rome.
Pearls of Juggling is a book that expresses in a simple and clear way the results of my work with jugglers, my idea is to inspire and suggest rather than lay out rules.
