I just spent the better part of a week at a juggling festival. Conveniently for me, the International Juggling Association’s annual festival was here in Winston this year, which meant I got to attend while not having to take off a ton of work. So I spent the mornings working, and the afternoons/evenings juggling.
My favorite thing about juggling festivals is the opportunity to pass clubs with lots of different people. Club passing is inherently social, since it requires two people at minimum, and you make a pretty strong connection when you’re counting on the other person not to hit you with their passes, and they’re counting on you to avoid hitting them. You also have to be in rhythm with each other, which means paying close attention to each other in general.
