 Russ Sharek | RussSharek - Reasons to love the #circus:
Visual proof that we're all connected. The World Circus Federation sent a set of #juggling clubs to youth circuses around the world to capture each group using them.
More than 98,000 km traveled, 20 different schools. All of them using the same set of props for a moment, and making something bigger than themselves in the process.

| Russ Sharek | I have a decent head balance and a solid juggle. Any one have any tips for combining them? | 05:36:26 |

I think i heard that most people focus mainly on the head balance and the juggle needs to be almost automated. | 12:34:50 |
| Russ Sharek | Indeed. Guess I'll keep at it. | 17:47:35 |

| Russ Sharek | Anyone have a good online resource explaining siteswap for beginners? Some of my students are asking. | 03:35:32 |

| palmcron | Now it happened: someone hummed the circus melody when he saw me juggling :)
First timer for me. | 14:45:23 |
| Russ Sharek | Congrats! | 17:25:16 |

| Russ Sharek | Had a lovely moment at our clown gym last night. I was passing with a partner, and I looked over to see one of my students teaching 9 people how to juggle. :) | 20:12:45 |
| palmcron | Cool! | 21:51:40 |
| Russ Sharek | Way back when we used to run large playdays in the park like that. Was fun to see that big sharing vibe back for a moment. | 22:26:25 |
| palmcron | Our group has been meeting in the park quite often lately and there are people interested every now and then. | 22:38:10 |
| Russ Sharek | Good! Where is your group based? | 22:38:46 |
| palmcron | Erlangen, Germany; yours? | 22:42:06 |
| Russ Sharek | Dallas, Texas, US. | 22:44:45 |

| Russ Sharek | palmcron: I dug this up for you. Back in the day, when our juggling community was ridiculously large, a friend put this video together. We ended up being an official world circus day site a few times after that. :)
Ages ago. Haven't seen some of these people in years.

| palmcron | That was fun to watch! Thank you for sharing | 22:10:59 |
| Russ Sharek | Absolutely. I love that we tracked down the band and got permission to use their song. So appropriate to the idea of exploring play. | 22:16:18 |

| palmcron | Somehow activity in here faded a bit. Did you know, that the #freenode_##juggling:matrix.org irc is also bridged to the matrix? It also doesn't have much activity, though. | 08:24:11 |
| Russ Sharek | Bummer. I'd like to keep this room going too. | 08:28:22 |
| palmcron | Don't worry, I'll stay here, too 🤹 | 08:33:27 |
| Russ Sharek | My juggling partner and I spent some time working on her juggling while standing on my shoulders this evening. Slow progress. | 08:35:45 |
| palmcron | Yeah, it's quite difficult, and at least for me trying to do passing between base and flyer does feel impossible. | 09:22:12 |
| Russ Sharek | Nowhere near that yet. Was working to have flyer pass with another partner. Haven't gotten stable enough to let go of flyer yet. | 16:33:51 |

| palmcron | How is the two man high juggling going, @russ.sharek:matrix.org ? | 08:50:22 |
| Russ Sharek | I've been recovering from a broken toe, so things slowed down a bit. I'm back to it, and we've been focusing in cleaning up the form on the two high. Last night we managed to walk around a bit, and I transferred my partner on and off a ladder from my shoulders! | 17:28:33 |
