Wes Peden at BJC2022!
We are excited to announce that one of the world's most inspirational jugglers will be coming along to the British Juggling Convention next Easter! Join us (and him!) by buying your tickets now from https://bjc2022.co.uk
Wes will be presenting his Ultra-modern pop-punk juggling show ROLLERCOASTER!
Juggling’s own superhero returns with one hour of unadulterated joy. Using the thrill and design of Rollercoasters as a starting point for a performance of the most exhilarating juggling ever made.
Huge blue inflatable structures, electro beats made from distorted rollercoaster sounds, Peden performs original tricks inspired by rollercoasters and their high-tech seatbelts. A spinning plate ceremony becomes a celebration of the great rides of the past; an epic 3 ball disco juggling evokes the evolution of rollercoasters; a 4-meter transparent tube turns into a path around Wes’ body to make balls flow through loops, helixes, and corkscrews. Rollercoaster twists theatrical rules to create a safe space place to perform some of the most difficult and unique juggling ever done on stage!
Rollercoaster is produced by Wes Peden and Gandini Juggling

I’ve just watched this, and thought a couple of people here might enjoy it (and that a couple of other people might grumble that it’s “not juggling” - but we don’t listen to them...)

Did anyone here follow the discussion regarding if Yoann's work is original or not?

While not all of that could be considered plagiarism (how many jugglers have used Bach's fugues, and tried to implement fugal form, for example, and it's not exactly uncommon to see jugglers performing a box, or finishing with a combined catch / bow) it does seem that M. Bourgeois might have been a bit "literal" with the works influencing his own ...
EJC 2021 Cancelled ?
(message from EJC Organisers on website (and facebook) https://www.ejc2021.org/cancellation-of-ejc-2021/It’s been a long winter and an even longer pandemic. We have seen a lot of changes and uncertainties in a really short period of time. In 2020, we had to cancel EJC for the first time in history and now, one year later, we are facing the reality that EJC will be cancelled yet again.
Finland is just at the beginning of its biggest wave of infections so far, and vaccination in Finland is not far enough along to save the day – government estimation is that the general public will get their first vaccinations in June. Added to this, with new mutations developing all over the world, we believe that it would not be responsible to host an event encouraging people to travel and mix. We acknowledge that the performing arts are in a dire state, with no immediate relief in sight. The idea of holding an EJC to combat this is tempting, but through the lens of social responsibility, we have decided it is irresponsible to gather so many people from all over the world.
With a sad heart we have to cancel EJC 2021 ?
We don’t want to put all the work to waste, so we will do our best to organise a Gala Show and stream it. Thanks to the fundraising, EJA and Arts Promotion Centre Finland we will be able to organise it without any major risks. So stay tuned!
Let’s hope that in 2022, we will be all together free to juggle at EJC in Tres Cantos!
With Love and health!
The EJC 2021 Crew and Team
**” The EJA (in collaboration with EJC team) is currently working on having an additional online event in place for around the same as the Gala Show. This way everyone can still get some enjoyable EJC vibes into their summer and attend the General Assembly to choose the EJC for 2023. If you want to find out more about these plans (of if you want to help out) then sign up for the EJA newsletter or use the “contact us” page on the EJA website.
