Hello rec.jugglers and clickers,

The new tricklists, format and videos for next year's British Kendama Open (at
the BJC) are now out.

We've gone for the Japanese-style knockout system for the Advanced division this
year, with players facing off in pairs on a randomly-pulled trick. Hopefully
this should ramp up the tension and fun for the audience (and the competitors?!)

Details and vids at
http://kendama.tlmb.net/competition2011.html

Hi all,

Thanks to everyone who came along to MJC this year and made it such a great
event.

When clearing up afterwards, we came across an abandoned pair of Birkenstock
sandles and some white socks.  If you would like to claim these, then please get
in touch.

Hope to see you all next year!

Yes! The rumours are true :)

It is official, Jay and Wes will be teaching a three-day intensive at
Greentop Circus May 23 - 25 10am - 4pm:

This is the description of what it will focus on:

"The Juggling Launch Pad" will cover up to the mintue, cutting edge,
contemporary and experimental juggling techniques collected from all over the
globe, with a concentration on Scandinavian trends. Additionally, traditional
foundation-building basics will be incorporated for a well rounded experience.
This workshop will teach concepts and ideas through small, accessible tricks
that anyone can instantly learn. Juggling will be looked at in 3 areas- the
objects, the body, and rhythm.


Price: £120/£105 for members

For more information or to book on: 0114 244 8828

I can also help people find accommodation if need be. There are only 15 spots so
be sure to book as soon as you can. It is going to be absolutely epic! If you

What happens when those that live outside of society in a world of their own
take over a theatre...?




We invite you to take part in witnessing the bizarre, magical, parallel
reality of Circus where the extraordinary can seem ordinary, where the
weird, the wonderful, the incredible and seemingly impossible feats of human
skill, are an everyday normality.

Wales' very own Nofit State and National Theatre Wales (with the support of
the Torch Theatre) are creating work for the stage alongside internationally
renowned director Mladen Materic and a company of world-class performers.




Together we will travel a creative journey from the big top to the main
stage.



National Theatre Wales is a new English language theatre company producing
world class work across Wales. This production is the spectacular finale to
the launch year programme: 12 shows over 12 months, in amazing places and
unique spaces across Wales.



We hope you can join us and look forward to seeing you again.

I'm going to get stilt trosers for the 7-11 year olds made for my circus
workshops.

I'm after traditional cotton stripe material. Black/White, Red/White, Red/Yellow
- anything I suppose with two alternating colours - thick stripes.

Should make good photos for the teachers/playworkers etc

If you know any suppliers, do let us know.

Ta.

Click click, one and all!

Just over 10 days to go until the BKO.
http://kendama.tlmb.net/competition2011.html
Time to put that kendama next to your kettle, for your daily practises
of the STC and the tricklists! The new knockout format for the
Advanced division will make for more drama for audience and
competitors alike! Prizes are confirmed, and this year we have
sponsorship from Sunrise Kendamas (Main Event), Oddballs (Speed Trick
Challenge) and Kendama.cz (Best Trick) - Thank you guys! (Of course,
you competitors are all only in it for the glory, we know.)

There are rumours[1] that there will be an extra surprise division
this year. I wonder[2] what that'll be....

The 2011 competition format is the same for the BKO and the EKO, so
those of you who can't make it to the BJC this year can start your
training for Munich now:
http://kendama.tlmb.net/EKO2011.html

Want to win? Here's how:
http://kendama.tlmb.net/howiwon.html

Meanwhile, Donald Grant was bursting with enthusiasm, and persuaded me
that the world needed another English kendama book, so after a manic
few months of writing, illustrations and layouts, we can announce that
"Knees! Further adventures in kendama" is now released. Thicker, with
twice as many tricks as the first book, and for the same price. Get it
on ebay now, or from your local juggling supplier very shortly. Or at
the BJC. Details and sample pdf at:
http://kendama.tlmb.net/book2.html

Now, can anyone work out what on earth this is all about?!:

Hi Folks,

I'm on the look out for tight rope training kit - and google is not

Has anyone got any links / recommendations for people who make this sort

Hi Glyn,

Only 2 manufacturers of tightropes that I know about are Arianne
(www.unicycle.fr) and an American manufacturer who retails in this country
through Firetoys. That being said, my own tightrope was obviously made by
someone else because it is all one unit and if you know a good welder you should
be able to get a similar one made. I can e-mail you a picture if you want it or
try to bring it to Bedford Juggling Club one of these days.

kind regards

Nigel

If only there was some place on the web that had detailed plans and
construction notes for a 4m wire that costs a fraction of the price of
an Ariane to build, fits in the back of an ordinary car, and has been
built, tried and tested by a variety of people.


Oh wait, there is! http://jay-linn.co.uk/tightwires/
<http://jay-linn.co.uk/tightwires/>   - the page is ancient and has not
been updated for many years so I don't know if some of the links still
work, but it should be enough to get you thinking.

Mail me if I can help at all.

Looks dangerous to me.  IMO there's *nothing* more important than
learning to fall off forwards and land on your feet.  I can't see that
anyone's going to learn that lesson when they've got a zimmer frame in
the way.

Mind you, it's not as if they're actually going to learn to ride on that
surface anyway...
