If you look at any 15 pieces of mine, nobody does a piece like them. Totally new techniques. All the jugglers are stealing from me and claiming that they've done it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As I'm studying magic, juggling is mentioned repeatedly as a great way to acquire dexterity and coordination. Now, I had long admired how fast and fluidly jugglers make objects fly. So that's it. I'm 14; I'm becoming a juggler.
I tend to take on a lot of things. And then they all just seem to happen at once. Or maybe I'm not good at saying 'No'. But the juggling's fun.
Now, juggling can be a lot of fun; play with skill and play with space, play with rhythm.
Juggling is a conversation with the stick, the body, the brain.
With each piece I've completed I have worked to make it intact, and each of them has been an equal high. It's like children. A mother refuses to pick out one as a favorite, and I can't do any better with the dances.
I always conceive a piece as a different set of challenges.
I can't do pieces I only admire technically. I have to feel some direct contact with them.
I juggle a lot of different balls and sometimes I don't know how I manage to keep them all up in the air, but I do!
Juggling is very, very straightforward; very, very black and white; you're manipulating objects, not people. And that's always appealed to me.
I look at it somewhat as a way - when you learn juggling, what you learn is how to feel with your eyes and see with your hands because you're not looking at your hands, you're looking at where the balls are, or you're looking at the audience.
