We were inspired to add a manipulator to Techno and came up with four variations! These 8-club patterns were first juggled in Albuquerque, New Mexico by Lana Bolin, Ian Chesser and Omar Ramirez. We named our favorite variant, Techniquerque, after the city of invention itself.
PATTERNS
Videos, notation and explanations of passing patterns.
3-count friction (fcc)
fcc is a 8-handed siteswap for 4 people, 8 hands and 13 clubs (^-^) Juggled by John, Jonathan, Tillman and Helena during SaarCon, Aug 2024.
Wiebke’s Waltz
Wiebke’s Waltz is a Phoenician Waltz inspired take out pattern on a walking pps feed (the same base pattern as zippy)
It was developed and presented at the 2023 coastless con along with variants in the “wedding waltz” family.
In the pattern, the carry and steal of the subsequent substitution are replaced with a ‘clink’, to toast the Happy couple. This is followed by a phoenetitian waltz turn for another substitute, and a phoenetitian waltz style intercept in preparation for the next clink.
Phoenician Quickstep
Phoenician Quickstep is a variation on Phoenician Waltz with an extra club! This pattern was first juggled by Helene, Adrian and Cameron at BJC 2024
Göttinger Opernball
Göttinger Opernball is a variation on Phoenician Waltz with 2 extra manipulators! This pattern is invented in Göttingen.
