Workshop:
This workshop will be all about one of the most fun features of juggling: sharing rhythms and objects with your friends! "Passing" is all about creating and experiencing patterns together, about helping each other to reach the common goal of a smooth feeling of whatever intricate form of juggling you choose to share.
We will start the workshop exploring many different ways of throwing objects at each other, starting with some basics in siteswaps and how to use those creatively to make beautiful new passing patterns (prechac notation and 4-handed siteswaps). We will also learn how to combine different skill levels - very useful to make everybody happy or to practice more advanced passing tricks. Leaving behind the more mathematical approaches we will then look into take-outs with clubs and explore some moving patterns. Last, I'll present shiva-passing, a new and interesting form of passing.
The landscape of passing is incredibly vast and it might be easy to get lost in it. There are different approaches and techniques and guess what: I can walk you through any of them. I'll therefore leave the structure of the workshop a bit open. Depending on the requests and wishes of the participants, we can focus more on notation and mathematical juggling, on techniques to perfect throws or rhythm and timing, or on creating new interesting patterns, take-outs, and so on.
The main props will be clubs, also balls. It is possible to follow most of the workshop with other props too.
