Juggling Adventures

10 day Juggling Adventure Testimonials.

“I learned about yoga, qi gong and taichi. I experienced my body in an unusual way and got inspiration for my own practice.

I learned about improvisation and elements to put around juggling and also practised developing sequences which is the base of developing a whole well structured performance. I feel more confident with the thought of developing my own juggling performance or starting a project with other people together.

I also learned about giving workshops and teaching.

I learned a lot about emotions and how they are connected to the posture and how they effect the juggling.

And I learned a lot about people and group dynamics and about myself.

“The 10 day workshop was a fresh look at the lesser known fundamentals of juggling. How to think down, breath better, stand still and move in ways that made my practice come alive and flow with great ease.

The creation processes we used were very powerful and useful for devising very personal work.

The 10 day workshop was a surprising spiritual journey, at times greatly challenging and times a taste of paradise”.

Jimmy

“An incredible intensive experience, I got more connected with body through yoga, tai chi, qi gong and several other exercises and kinds of movement but not only a physical connection was created furthermore meditations, breathing exercises and other mindful practises created a mindset which could really go into the process of creativity. Every exercise or practise leads besides other good benefits, to different points of view and in the end you got so many enriched tools for your practise but also you got a good base in juggling with movement, with emotions.

After the workshop you are able to use and be aware of so many different aspects in juggling that you somehow could say you redefined your juggling.

You get a feeling of improvisation not only with but without, so many aspects are mentioned and exercised which all bring different benefits to your juggling and life”.

“These ten days gave me the opportunity to take a look inside my perception of Juggling.

It changed the way I approached my training and creation work.

This workshop is for everyone who wants to explore new ways of trick and sequence creation, as well as making a journey to your inner self and reflecting old habits and ways.

The course is very intense and brought me to my borders physically and mentally.

I am happy I took this course because it enriched my juggling and myself. Besides Anthony is a great teacher, juggler and human being!”

Paolo

“The Ten day workshop has had a profound effect on me both mentally and physically.

Throughout the ten days I experienced both diligent technique and outbursts of radical joyous unregulated play. Both worked hand in glove with each other.

Above and beyond the technical work in Tai Chi, Yoga, Movement and prop manipulation etc. there is a vital comradery of cooking for each other that separates this from a series of classes to a place that lives for ten days.

To feel a part of that is truly both energising and grounding. A balance is struck between personal research/training and ensemble/guided work. They both fuelled off one another.

Having been professional in the juggling industry for many years I wanted to rediscover it as “juggling for juggling sake”.

I feel that I have found this here, in the Tuscan Mountains.

I am genuinely excited to go home and practice some new skills that I was able to find here. That is a feeling that I have not felt for many years in Juggling.

I highly recommend this workshop. Full stop.

(But if you want more specifics…)

This workshop is great for those jugglers who want to explore new dimensions in their juggling, how interdisciplinary work can really fuel your juggling and your life”.

“I am sure it will take time to settle down, I am not clear yet, because it is so big. Many things happened in these ten days. It is not all about throwing and catching, it is also about dropping… not only with objects also with feelings, people and life.

This workshop is for people who are looking for the experience to express themselves not only with juggling but use this as the main tool.
