Synopsis

Ever seen the mysterious illusion of a crystal ball floating in place? Often described as gravity-defying crystal ball manipulation, contact juggling is a form of object manipulation which uses balance to create the magical appearance of lightness with a single ball.

 

In this workshop, learn a short sequence featuring rolling, isolations and balances—designed to introduce the fundamentals of this mesmerising art form.

Choo Zheng Hao (Workshop Facilitator)

Ever since he was 10 years old, Zheng Hao has been using juggling as an excuse for throwing things around. To the dismay of his neighbours, he never stopped practising this skill, occasionally even adding more props to his repertoire. He enjoys teaching and sharing his skills, and believes that juggling is an ideal hobby to learn. In his free time, Zheng Hao is a slave to his cats and definitely has not thought of juggling them.
