As part of our cunning plans for #EJC2019 I am collecting ideas for what…

I would like workshops that go beyond a single skill. Getting into the details of juggling in sessions which require special conditions such as:

Spending at least 3 hours or perhaps 3 days to grasp a concept
Requiring a group such as to share discoveries and inspiration or to build things that can't be done alone
Working on material which can't be grasped instantly and needs to be reflected upon and revisited
Learning concepts which can be best or perhaps only learned from masters who are usually out of reach, e.g. special teachers, retired top performers or cross over teachers (dancers/musicians) who prepare something especially for you.

Single skills, such as this prop + this trick + this level as the form requests, I can find those, not only on every single convention, but also on YouTube or by asking this person in the gym who performs this skill already.

A lot of juggling teaching and research is being done in circus schools, and except for the final acts and videos, a lot of that material never leaves the school walls. I think an EJC is a perfect place to find an audience for similar teachings, and should try and look beyond the simple workshop format!

Does the entry on Line 20 of the spreadsheet essentially sum up your wishes? I'll perma-link to your comment for context.
