Young Gods of Contemporart Juggling

Me, Lassi, Miku and Tuomas went to see The Shoebox Tour (Jay Gilligan, Pat McGuire and a very blurry Matias Salmenaho) at Circus Helsinki.

 

We all really enjoyed the show, which was very un-showlike. It had a great mix of  cheap gags, technical juggling and artsy stuff. I actually really enjoyed a tree ring manipulation bit, even though that normally is something I can't stand, as I am a dull fan toss juggling.

 

Highlights for me were Jay and Matias passing clubs (club passing, but not as we know it) and Jay's three balls and two rings -piece.

  • Jay has three balls?

  • I can't decide if "Contemporart" is a typo, or clever wordplay. Similarly "tree ring manipulation" throws up some interesting images". I think "A dull fan of toss juggling" should definitely be someone's tag line.....

  • Geez, maybe I should start proofreading. But I can't do that now after that comment, can I?

  • Ha! No, just claim that it was clever wordplay after all, and... well who would bet against Jay actually doing a Tree Ring act? Not me!

  • Ooh, do you think we could get Duncan to make some juggling rings from tree rings?
