[brianoc15]

If you would like to teach a workshop at this year's festival, please write up here. Confirmed workshops will be posted shortly.

[brianoc15]

also if you would like to request a workshop write up here too!

I can now confirm the following workshops:
Declan Mee - Russian technique from Sergei Ignatov: Declan has trained for over 200 hours under the strict rule of Sergei Ignatov so he knows what he is talking about and has his own cool style and way about things too. A great workshop garaunteed to improve your juggling technique. Places will be limited and participants will need to stay focused as russian technique requires but its worth it
- Club Swinging: Declan taught his club swinging workshop at the last Galway convention and it went down a bomb. He has some really nice moves and shapes that you can learn too by going to this workshop!!

Brian O'Connell - Club Footwork: learning the basics of the kickup, control, technique, other foot tricks, and some patterns. you'll never have to bend over again!!
- 3 Club beginners: So you can juggle balls but want to make things more interesting for yourself? Come to this workshop and in an hour you'll know everything you need to juggle 3 clubs. Prerequisite: 3 ball cascade.


other fantastic workshops to come soon....

I'll give an introduction to 5-Balls workshop and a 3 Balls Stuff Workshop

[brianoc15]

Cool you are down for introduction to 5b, and for 3b would that be intermediate? what sort of things would people be expecting to learn? tell the people what they wanna hear!

also cheers man! thanks for volunteering!

[mosey]

Ok:

5 Ball workshop - It's for people who have a good grasp on three balls and preferably four ball's as well. I'll go through a range of different techniques and site swaps that are good to learn the 5 ball pattern (Cascade)

3 Ball Stuff - This is an intermediate level workshop covering different cool things that can be done with three balls. I haven't actually written it up yet but i've got ideas of what i want to cover so i'll post back up here later with more info.

I can also confirm that Darragh will be doing a beginners Diabolo workshop for those who wish to get beyond the throwing and catching stage, and also a Intemediate/Advanced workshop showing some base tricks and techniques which can be adapted and combined to create combinations .

Also, EmeraldCircus's own Splinter (Mark) will being doing a beginner's contact juggling workshop for those who wish to take up the absorbing and mystical art of contact juggling

i could come do a bit of a yoga warm up in the mornings if that's any help...

[brianoc15]

sounds good! also check your pm's!!!

[dicelady]

well a yoga style warm up. Loadsa stretches and warm ups from karate, gymnastics, and yoga. all good fun for moving muscles in the morning. and I have checked my PMs... nothing new there, i already replied to you. You check your PMs?

[brianoc15]

did check tho nothin there. mornin warmup and stretchin would be deadly i think people will have a way better day if they warmup and stretch in the morning

[SweetCaroline]

i can do a very beginners balloon workshop if ye want!

[Pol]

I'd like to do my "Rolls, Wraps and Slaps" club workshop, this is a workshop on my favourite type of club tricks and is for people who are proficient in three club juggling, with a solid cascade and 423.
Also as far as I know Stephen will be out of the country for this on so I can do a passing workshop for patterns with 5 or less objects, if there is interest.
Finally put me down for Declans "ignatov" workshop. I will not miss that one.

Hi, i have never done a workshop before but i was thinking i could have a crack at an advanced 4 ball workshop, dont know if anyone would be interested tho.. I'm turning into a bit of a siteswap nerd .. i could cover some of the harder 4 ball siteswaps and excited state siteswaps and some 4 ball shower variations and just generally how to build up hard tricks step buy step. if who ever is in charge thinks its a good idea i can email you some of the things i am able to teach
Thanks !
Carl
P.s count me in for Declans ignatov workshop !

[BusterBalloons]

I can do a beginner to intermediate balloon modelling class if you like but it depends on the day.

[mosey]

Pol & Carl - i'd be up for those workshops for sure!

[brianoc15]

pol carl and buster, you are all down for workshops! the timing has yet to be worked out, but there area lot of workshops already confirmed for this convention, from beginners to advanced in a wide variety of disciplines There is a grand total of 18 workshops confirmed so far, with another 9 awaiting confirmation. To fit all of these in there will likely be more than one workshop on at the same time. and workshops will likely be starting an hour after hall opening, so get in early!!

[brianoc15]

Caroline and Buster. would love for both of you to do balloon workshops. Thing is we dont really know if we will have the money for balloons until after the convention....

So if caroline can do a beginner, can buster do the advanced? also what day suits you buster? ideally we'd have the advanced after the beginner

[SweetCaroline]

I can bring some balloons sure- not ta worry! trinity has a fair stock that i can borrow! any day or time suits me at all really by the ways! and i don't mind if Buster just wants to do a more advanced one instead of having 2 similar ones!

[chiaki]

has there been a workshop timetable done up yet?

[brianoc15]

currently working on confirming workshops. full timetable to be posted when all workshops are confirmed.

60% there....
