Sydney Juggling- March for Juggling….

sydneyjuggling

 

As summer leaves us the jugglers of Sydney are returning home to throw juggling balls, juggling rings and juggling clubs. They’ve  been training hard for the new year and are ready to perform for your children’s birthday party, corporate event, fete, fair or celebration. Why not hire a juggler today?

January and February were all about overseas travel with many adventures with Italian and French jugglers. Check out our Instagram page for some amazing European performers. Some preview pictures are above.

And for more incredible jugglers have a look at the IJA tricks of the month.

If you want to buy some new juggling props, try our friends at Oddballs in London, their prices are good for Aussies. Locally, Juggleart is the place to buy your juggling balls. And if you want to learn juggling, or just throw things in the air randomly and pretend it’s juggling ,check out the local juggling clubs.

The universities are back in session, and both Circusoc at UNSW, and SURCAS  at the  University of Sydney are holding meetings and training sessions regularly. Non students are also welcome to join these sessions. The prices are cheap, and the quality is high.

And sometimes we like to acknowledge magicians too, because they are fellow performers. Happily Sydney has a very vibrant magic scene and in June there will be a huge magic convention which will be a riotously fun event full of….ummmm…..magic!

But remember, juggling is real, whilst magic is only illusionary.

Happy juggling.

Sydney Juggling – Creativity and Fight Nights in Sydney

sydneyjuggling

It’s all about being creative as we juggle balls, juggling rings, juggling clubs and hula hoops this month at Sydney Juggling. We’re also really busy working as kid’s party entertainers and at corporate events. This is the busy season, so if you want to hire a great juggler for your special occasion, be quick.

If you’re really lucky you can hire the amazing Shiho Sparkle Hooper or the equally incredible Kenny Cheung, who are featured in the pictures above.

In great news for Sydney jugglers, Circus Akimbo in Hornsby is now hosting juggling ‘Fight Nights’.  All the action is taking place on the first Tuesday of each month. If you haven’t seen a juggling fight night, go and have a look.  We hear that they’re letting spectators in for free.

Of course if you are into the less aggressive forms of juggling you can join us at our meetups once a week. Or if you just want to watch some fine juggling shenanigans, you can check out our instagram page.

Last month we were visited by the IJA, but unfortunately, they’ve now left Australia. However, they also left us a wonderful legacy. Our Oceania champion is Joe Fisher, who performed brilliantly in Melbourne. Congratulations to Joe and to all the finalists who provided a fantastic display of Australian juggling that really impressed the locals and our international visitors.

Sydney Juggling- Spring is for Jugglers

Jugglers in Sydney love spring.  The sun is shining, the birds are singing and there are lots of great  shows where we can entertain people by juggling balls, rings and clubs and anything else that happens to be nearby.

If you’re hosting a kid’s party, a corporate event or simply want to celebrate the return of flowers, kookaburras and warm weather, you should hire a Sydney juggler to make it an even hotter occasion.

This time of year is so exciting because there are so many juggly and circussy things happening.

Locally, the University of NSW Circus Society is holding an extravaganza at Studio One Sydney from September 14-16. It’s called, Out of Line: A Story of Misadventures, and will be a showcase of acrobatics, aerial work and juggling. It’s guaranteed to be fun with lots of young circus performers doing weird stuff. Pop along for a fabulous night out.

Then in Melbourne, from September 21-22, the International Juggling Association is holding its Oceania Regional Competition. Some of the best jugglers in the world will be competing for the honour of being the Oceania Juggling Champion. This will be an incredible display of the most accomplished jugglers in our region.

Afterwards you might want to visit the Melbourne Juggling Convention, held in Collingwood from September 22-25.

Finally, our great friends at Juggling TV are holding a fantastic competition where jugglers can win prizes for just sending in videos. The prizes are from Oddballs, our favourite international juggling shop, where you can buy almost anything juggly or hoopy or diablo-ey. They also post worldwide, so Aussie Jugglers don’t miss out.

Remember if you want to practice for your Juggling TV video or for the IJA you can come and join us for meetups once a week in the inner city of Sydney. Or if you are interested in watching us in action you can have a sticky beak (look) at our instagram page.

And as they say in Vlagtwedde,
