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.
Chippy-Zippy
Chippy-Zippy is a combination of two existing patterns. Zippy (invented by Dr. Ed) and Chippy (the Zippy variation with a chop). Because both manipulators manipulate on their own beats it works pretty good together. The base pattern, a 9 club PPS runaround stays the same as in Zippy and Chippy.
“Sascha”
Sascha was a very nice surprise at ejc. He showed up at the “Passing & Drinking” Workshop and immediately asked whether we were interested to try a pattern. He had seen and memorized the pattern from the youtube video “Prechac with my Friends” by Danielfausto, but lacked partners to try it with.
