“Keep working on cruise ships, though structuring the my time away better than last year to maximize time in Berlin/with friends/doing my own thing.” Win! I could have structured my time at home better than I did, but at least I did it better than 2009. I took all of May and most of June [...]

I decided a fun way to share some of my photography would be to collect various portraits of jugglers into a 2011 calendar (plus Jan 2012). This is the perfect gift for the New Year, from me to you. I have no permissions from any of these jugglers, so while I’m sure they wouldn’t mind [...]

I set up my camera for a “luke staying dry” version of this shot, and it looked pretty good. As I was waiting by the (dry) camera, a freak wave soaked me completely. As I was already wet, I decided to go for increasingly dramatic extreme juggling. I lost one juggling beanbag. Unfortunately, this is [...]

Creation, choreography, refining, performing. Those are four steps I go through when working on a juggling routine for my show. But there’s one more step, and the amount of work I put into this step dwarfs the rest combined. Practicing. It’s very easy to get a routine kinda-solid. As in, you don’t drop much. The [...]

This routine is the big stage version: This routine is the small stage version: I perform in all kinds of venues. Sometimes I don’t know how high the ceiling will be. In my juggling studio at home I can throw triples with clubs, and run seven rings in a slightly lower than optimal pattern. I [...]

(In this workshop I talk in quite a lot of depth about the above video. If you’ve not seen it yet, watch before you read.) You know what’s the worst thing ever when performing a juggling routine? You may be thinking “Dropping?” Yes, that’s bad, but what’s even worse is dropping on the VERY FIRST [...]

I thought I’d write a bit about how I work as a juggler. I do hour-long shows, which mix creative and technical juggling with physical and spoken comedy. It’s taken me 10 years of practice to get to where I am now, which is a whole lot of work, so the least I can do [...]

I don’t have time to write up much about my trip to the Brussels Juggling Convention last weekend, as I’m still catching up with my NaNoWriMo novel. But here are 68 photos I took, mostly of acts in the open stage shows, and the gala show. There’s also a few shots inside the massive venue, [...]
