I was surprised to see this was not here yet, so I thought I would copy it over. Plus having been to one, I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more!

Dear jugglers/manipulators,

I have the pleasure to announce the 3rd International Ministry of Manipulation Workshop!!!!
5 full days of classes with MoM crew and guests from 3 continents: Ryan Mellors (CA), Jeanine Ebnöther (CH), Einhim Short (IRE), Caleb Trott (AUS) and Laura Vogel (D).
For a change (and for easy and free accommodation) it will be happening in Switzerland this time. The (world) music freaks amongst us will be in heaven too, as our host, the OskarMaus Festival is also programming a mass of musicians. Yay. Bring musical instruments as well as juggling props.

MoM will be offering workshop blocks in the following techniques:
contact juggling – body rolling – ball and hoop isolations – club manipulation – contact/double and acro staff – staff juggling – organic juggling – body manipulation – multiple hoops – 8rings – stickball – windstyle – partnering – cj and Alexander Technique – improvisation – musicality for object manipulation – working on/building sequences/an act – collaboration with live musician/group

This workshop is for whoever likes to go deeper in their manipulation, get fresh or unusual imputs, try new techniques (there will be gear to play with!) and exchange with other participants. If you are a keen observer but have never had a go, come along and you will be amazed.

Dates: Monday 3rd Sept – Friday 7th Sept 2012
Times: 9am – 1pm and 2pm – 6pm (= 8hrs!!!! Yay!! Prepare for brain implosions and muscle ache, haha!)
Price: 450 CHF (roughly 370 Euros)
big circus tent, hard and soft floor spaces, mirror wall, Open Stages daily, fire shows and concerts during the week, free play all day and night; market; MoM Variete on Sat 8th; music festival 8th and 9th Sept. (extra ticket).
Festival website will be updated and online on June 12th.

As a MoM workshop participant you can choose the classes you want to follow every day and can put up your tent in the camping area. There is space for camper vans too.

And the great thing is: the closely sited Swiss Juggling Convention will take place just the weekend before (Aug. 31st – Sept 2nd).

So get your mates together and come to beautiful Switzerland, the heart of Europe (am I being patriotic?!? It actually IS pretty here!) Spaces are limited. First come, first served. Should the financial factor be a problem get in touch with Jeanine.
For signing up and info contact jea9 (at) ministryofmanipulation.com

See you there

I won't be able to make this one sadly, but if you have the opportunity to go I highly recommend it.

If it was in the UK I could make it......but unless I randomly get shed loads of gigs/ come into some money before then then it's unlikely. Shame...I really need something like this now.....

Don't give up Vesperwalk try try try to go, it helped me so very much, it is the single greatest thing you could do for your juggling.

Aww Thanks for the encouragement! I will see what the cash situation is like later on....it totally depends on the busking this season. But I will try!!!!!!!

I hope the busking season is kind to you Amy - it's definitely worth it.

Switzerland is so lovely, I wish I could make it but I don't think I can.

Wishing all the ones that go there lots of fun.

Does anyone have any updates on this? I've sent Jea9 a message sometime ago, but no reply so far. I know she is busy with the high season and all, just wanted to see who else from here is coming and if anyone heard back from them.

I have posted about the workshops, it is already on the board for months and as far as dot orgers that are going.
I am, and Roeland from belgium is. And Ryan.
There are more people going, but i coulndt tell who by the emails.

So if you are going, see you in a week.

It's all good, she got in touch a week or so ago, everything is taken care of, we will most certainly be there. See you in a few days!

cool, see you in Switserland Tom.

(Technically the 4th international MoM workshop, but whatever )

Hope you guys had loads of fun, and learned loads of awesome new cool stuff
