THE ACADEMY
Premieres on Summer Streets Youtube Channel - 7pm Wednesday 15th July
Gandini Juggling presents some lockdown fun: juggling every permutation of 5 clubs, balls and rings, the classical juggling props whilst wearing all the colourful items in their wardrobe to lead to geometric happiness.
LIFE
Premieres on Summer Streets Youtube Channel & Facebook Live - 7pm Tuesday 21st July
A homage to the late Merce Cunningham’s choreographic universe. Derived from the hypothetical question: “What if Merce had choreographed juggling?”. Gandini has spent 3 decades being inspired by Cunningham's work and this international choreographic research showcases dancers and jugglers performing together in spirit yet geographically apart in response to the global pandemic.
Performers include:
Kim Huynh & Jose Triguero, Paris, France
Benjamin Beaujard, Stockholm, Sweden
Sean Gandini & Kati Yla-Hokkala, London, England
Erin O'Toole - Glasgow, Scotland
Jennifer Goggans - New York, USA
KRAP YRUBSNIF
Premieres on Summer Streets Youtube Channel - 1pm Friday 24th July
Sean Gandini and Kati Yla-Hokkala play with time in the context of filming juggling patterns. Performing patterns in reverse to create hypnotising shapes which respond in spectacular ways to the original composition.
