About the workshop:
————————-
Investigating Technique:
In this workshop students will learn to develop their own juggling style and tricks, based on a deeper awareness of juggling concepts and techniques. It is suitable for intermediate (basic ability with 3 balls and 3 clubs) to advanced jugglers of all ages.

Over three days, performer, teacher and director Luke Wilson will guide the way along the winding and often overlapping paths of Technique, Tricks and Creation within juggling. These three themes form the basis of his juggling life, and correspond closely to the bigger questions of How?, What?, and Why?

HOW do we juggle? Not just body position and movement, but also exploring the mental side of juggling technique.
WHAT do we juggle? Clubs, balls or rings? Diabolos or cigar boxes? And what tricks do we choose to do, and how can we create new ones?
WHY do we juggle? By exploring juggling composition and the creative process, perhaps we can discover how to show our tricks and sequences in their best light.

Luke has taught workshops covering tricks and concepts at juggling festivals worldwide, and has taught juggling at professional Circus Schools in England, Ireland, France, Germany, Holland and Sweden. He is the co-creator of the worlds first Masters Degree Module in Circus Research (at the University of Dance and Circus in Stockholm, Sweden) and a special prize winner at the World Circus Festival “Cirque de Demain” in Paris, France.

He likes his tea with milk and his toast done on both sides.
