I really cannot begin to express the magnitude at which teaching Movement and Contact juggling is enriching My life, and by doing so enriching further the lives of others right now.

It's amazing. It feels FANTASTIC, and I want more. Watching ripples of inspiration pass from person to person is an amazing process to watch, and it's exciting me so much to see where Illusion Based Contact is heading right now.

So, I want more. LOTS more. I want to teach the Fractal Method (TM) ;) to as many people as possible, and install warp drives (TM) in people's minds, show people the wonderful things I see around me all the time, and see what is spawned as my visions are fused with someone else's. I do have a sinister motive behind this, however, and that motive is that I am bored, and want people to play with. EVERYWHERE. as is the Nature of Fractals, I also learn a huge amount every time I teach this method, so by allowing me to teach you, you will be teaching me.

I call it [/There Is No Crew]. think 'There is no spoon'. that's how I see the possibilities of this mission, and f**k am I looking forward to the challenge. A crew is a tight net bunch of people, who know each other. they don't need to speak to communicate and understand each other perfectly. they just know each other that well. they just know. they bounce off each other. they got each other's back. they play together. they learn together. they are a pack. They are as a general rule limited to being in the same place, and so limited in size. f**k that, I say. scale doesn't matter any more, it's all the same thing, just bigger. and everyone knows bigger is better, right? (I learned one from the americans ;) )

So let's do it. Let's bounce. Let's come together and make a global Contact Juggler Crew.

I have masterclass workshops to give on concepts such as Time, Space, Gravity, Energy, Sound, Language/Communication and Mind over Matter, and how they affect Movement and Manipulation as a whole through the mathematical language of fractals, chaos, QED and quantum theory, and just how damn easy it all is, and accessible to the complete beginner. I can teach alone, or I can teach alongside other people, to help make an event similar to the infamous Ministry Workshops we all know and love. I can teach one on one, at conventions, in circus schools, as a guest resident to improve the skillsets, awareness and in turn the learning abilities of your students all in one go.

If you think you and the people in your area can handle a mind explosion of this magnitude (and judging by recent experience, that will happen), and you know of a space that will hold it. Tell me. Let's Chat. We can make it possible. I will have you seeing the world as i do, as nothing more than a dance of forces, interacting with each other in a way that looks amazing to onlookers, and more importantly, FEELS great too. It's true, contact jugglers do all eventually go mad. ;)

Have Workshops. Will Travel.

:)

I've kinda been hoping you'd post something like this :D

I know at least a few folks around here would be interested, with me at the front of the line.

:D

Bring it, Ed.

Its already be decided for a while now that Ed will be coming to ImagineNation. So, East Coast...get ready. You don't have to be on the East Coast though...anyone, anywhere, come and play!! Don't know when yet but it's going to happen as soon as we can help him get here. He's just patiently waiting on us.

(Hey!!! Anyone want to be apart of helping him get over here??? Feel free to contact us and we see if we can get him over here sooner!)

And yeah, Ed totally does what he says here. Believe me, he's been doing quite a number on me these last few months. :D Ed........ I just......*speechless*.....yeah, you know what I'm trying to say. :)

So, I know I speak for the rest of my Aether Crew when I say - We are 100% in this Global Contact Juggling Crew.

So begins the next wave....
:D

In the words of the great philosopher and scientist, Ronald McDonald, ba da da da daaa I'm lovin it.

It's been irking me for some time that there's no upper midwest US crew to speak of. We seem like a largely unrepresented area, especially when compared to places like Florida, New England, Cali, and New Mexico. So just last week I thought "f**k it, I may not be an experienced CJer but if no one else is gonna put one together, I might as well do it myself."

Right now I'm in the process of trying to find a space... oh, and trying to come up with a name that doesn't anagram out to MOM. :D

But hells yeah, when I have a space and a big enough gathering of movey types to warrant your effort beside me, I would definitely love to play humble host to some There Is No Crew workshops. That would be beyond awesome!

YES!!!! Do it! Don't worry about experience level (I'm having to get past this too. Remind yourself that where your at is just where you're at...just keep going. Imagine where you'll be at 10 years from now...exciting much?). Its about drive and passion and all that. You've got it. I know you do. Just do it. :D

I'm opening up Negotiations with the Kata.

I want a MoMshop. I'm gonna arrange one, and if other ministers want to teach with me, let's do it.

When would people be able to attend? give me an idea of rough dates you'd like to see a MoMshop happen.

Need more Europe before I can afford the States. Need the States before I can afford Australia and Russia. Need Australia and Russia before I can retire on an island in Asia, with the crew popping in and out all the time.

Clearly that's a cunning attempt to get us to support your workshop habit in order that we can all end up retiring to your island.

And damn, it's working :)

As for dates, it depends. My schedule is already pretty full this year (I only have so much time off work alas), but I can still manage weekends. If you're looking at weekday workshops though, how about April next year?

Also in negotiations with Newcastle (UK) about a two day event, 8hours with me.

Edinburgh, want a visit? Got somewhere I can teach to help me pay the way?

London, Got a space that pays better than the rag factory? I love working with the guys, but it's just not financially viable.

Also need to busk a lot. if you know of any street festivals coming up, or know of any easy pitches, let me know. I can come visit.

Come on UK! Speak up! I need to cover england in waves before i can spread out across waters...
