WWW.JUGGLE.ORG Page 2 THE INTERNATIONAL JUGGLERSʼ ASSOCIATION December 2011 Teaching the Cascade, by Don Lewis Hereʼs the scenario: You go to a seasonal party at a stem from anxiety - trying to go too fast. Just stand in friend or relativeʼs place. Perhaps you only see them front and do two throws as slow as you can. Get them to once a year. Someone will have received a set of juggling copy you. This rarely takes more than a couple of balls as a gift, which are sitting unused because they keep minutes. They should try starting with both hands. If the colliding in the air instead of juggling. With a sinking balls are different colors, then tell them to always start with feeling, you realize why youʼve been invited. Just the “red” ball regardless of which hand it is in. because you know how to juggle, it is assumed that youʼll Even if they get the two ball exchange really fast, a lot of be able to wave your magic wand and turn the klutz that people are intimidated by three balls. Sometimes I get a couldnʼt understand the instructions that came with the student who is totally coordinated, and they just pick up balls into a dazzling performer. the third ball and it works. Thatʼs pretty rare, but it Sound familiar? Fortunately most people can pick up the happens. Most people seem confused by the third ball, basics pretty quickly once theyʼve actually seen someone even if intellectually they understand what is supposed to juggling slowly in front of them. happen. The easiest way to put the pattern in their minds is to share the three ball pattern with them. This party scenario is actually pretty high pressure. Even if you get your student off to the side or in another room, Before they ever try three balls I use the following everyone is going to expect to see a brand new juggler exercise for a few minutes. Have the person stand facing appear in a few minutes. Your student may have already you with their hands out. Your hands are in front too, and had a frustrating time practicing drops and may not even you should be close enough to almost touch hands. In the believe that juggling is possible. Youʼve got your work cut first part of the exercise, all they have to do is catch. You out for you. throw three balls slowly, waiting for them to catch each one before throwing the next. Then, they throw them Hereʼs what has worked well for me. I use this method back, slowly, right left right. (If the person is left dominant, most of the time now. even in relaxed settings. start with the left.) Gradually speed up the exercise. First, get the aspiring juggler to throw a single ball back When the catching is reliable, get them to start throwing and forth from hand to hand in the familiar cascade arc. If back to you when youʼve thrown the third ball. the person really canʼt do this after a minute or so then This exercise gets them used to throwing up rather than youʼre probably looking at either a vision problem or a out, and firmly installs the right left right pattern of reflex deficit that could take months of careful work to fix. alternating throws.

Theyʼve already proved that they can eventually. But letʼs assume your student doesnʼt have catch at speed and throw reliably, so getting that first jug is any problem with casually tossing one ball back and forth. almost anticlimactic. Second, show the exchange with two balls. The usual You and your student can soon return to the party with problems here are throwing both balls at the same time, smiles of success on your faces.

That brings me to my final topic, Let's not be so carried away with our desire for more and which I can sum up in one word: more skills that we lose track of the wonderfulness of the process. Gratitude Let the audience feel your gratitude. You donʼt have to This is a difficult business. It is a challenging art-form. First come right out and tell them how much you appreciate you have to know how to juggle. Then you have to know them, although some performers do.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

    Butte Fire Staff Ride Preliminary Study “During the deployment everyone was really scared. You didn’t know what to expect . Everybody knew it was pretty serious. It was definitely a life and death matter.” Mike Parsons, EMT Carson Hotshot Crew in 1985 on the Butte Fire Salmon-Challis National Forest Butte Fire Staff Ride Preliminary Study 1 “As soon as that wall of flame came up, that’s when we all snapped our shelters open. We got down on the ground. All we could hear was the roaring sound of a jet plane coming over— about ten feet about us. We started talking to each other. When the fire got really bad, we weren’t talking about the fire—nothing like that. We were talking about everything else—about what that guy did that time with him or her—or whatever. We changed the whole subject—to build morale. I think that helped keep us alive. We just didn’t want to think about that fire when it was going over us, when it was all around us, when it was everywhere. I’ve been firefighting for 20 years and that has been the most frightening experience I’ve ever had. I was in Vietnam for a year.

  • Michael Moschen, Now 23 Years Old, Has Attracted Juggling Style Is
    Volume 31, Ntimber 2 March/April, 1979 INTERNATIONAL JUGGLERS ASSOCIATION Photo by Karl-Heinz Ziethen MICHAEL MOSCHEN - A NOVELTY JUGGLER by Korl-Heinz Ziethen Michael Moschen, now 23 years old, has attracted the attention of some of the finest jugglers in America. His juggling style is completely different from other jugglers. He makes juggling look like something that's natural to him. His style is suave and terribly elegant; so his brilliant act is all about focus. Michael Moschen shows you right away that he doesn't watch the three little bolls he's dealing with - that he can smile at you or wipe his nose or dance or look the other way without breaking his smooth rhythms. When he does look at the balls, he makes you pick out a particular pattern - emphasizing the parallel path of two of the balls, while the third odd-man-outs by leaping over them. One of his specialties is fire juggling with three tor ches. His torch swinging act is spectacular and dangerous, unique in this art. Michael recently completed the filming of the fire-juggling scene in Milos Forman's production of Hair with Twyla Tharp, and has appeared as a solo juggler with the Louis Folco Dance Company. His television appearances included the Mike Douglas Show and BBS Special. His three ball juggling won a first prize at the International Jugglers' So it's very interesting to hear what Michael Associatian Championship, held in Youngstown, Ohio, 1975.
