This workshop focuses on using everyday objects as juggling props, offering a different perspective on object manipulation. Through guided exploration, participants will experiment with form, movement, and rhythm, using items found in daily life. The session encourages a thoughtful and creative approach to juggling, with an emphasis on observation, adaptability, and finding new possibilities in familiar things.
Ideal For: Contemporary circus artists, jugglers, and movement practitioners interested in object manipulation, creative exploration and interdisciplinary experimentation.
