Juggle together
Videos, notation and explanations of passing patterns.
The Novaesian Waltz is the 3-count version of the Phoenician Waltz. The manipulation differs only in the carry. In the Phoenician Waltz, the second pass of the pass-pass-self base pattern is carried. The second throw in a 3-count is a self. Hence, in the Novaesian Waltz the manipulation starts with carrying a self. The Novaesian …
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.
978-about, 975-about (holy grail about), tips and dreams
5 years ago Nicki wrote an excellent article summarising the progress which had been made on take-outs in 4-handed siteswaps: https://passing.zone/take-outs-in-4-handed-siteswaps/
There was some exciting progress made at the 2024 EJC, so I thought it was time for an update!
At Passout 2018/2019 in Krelingen Christian from Pittsburgh brought the idea of doing take-outs in a 4-handed siteswap and workshopped 726-about, “What’s that about?” and “Manège à trois” (786-about), which I really enjoyed. Christian also has a page summarising all the different takeouts in 4-handed siteswaps: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ckaestne/takeouts.html
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 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 is a variation on Phoenician Waltz with 2 extra manipulators! This pattern is invented in Göttingen.
756-about, 777-about, 972-about, 978-about
At the last Passout in Krelingen Christian from Pittsburgh brought the idea of doing take-outs in a 4-handed siteswap and workshoped 726-about, “What’s that about?” and “Manège à trois” (786-about), which I really enjoyed.
James and Cameron taught a very nice 7 club “righty lefty” passing workshop at Berlin convention 2018. I especially enjoyed their way of marking the starting juggler with a crown in their pattern notation.
