Harmonic Throws – Jonathan Lardillier

Juggling workshop with Jonathan Lardillier

Minimum level: Three ball cascade, good music feeling and/or good site swap knowledge is a welcome extra.

The purpose of the Harmonic Throws method is to help jugglers to progress technically in a fun and enjoyable way based on a strong sense of musicality. It develops the ability to play with other jugglers, but also with other disciplines working with with beats as musicians or dancers. It also helps to better understand the fundamentals of juggling. It combines learning, creativity and pleasure.

This method studies juggling based on scores of real routines, with their own flows and emotional intentions. These intentions are good motivation to start new moves or coming back on basics.
Technical points are view step by step and insert directly into the scores, these technical points become emotional tools and not tricks anymore.
This method is based on the “three-layer notation”. This notation describes the throws, the trajectories around the body, and the body in space, all on the same temporal grid.
The practice of this notation allows to note in a simple, intuitive and complete, most juggling movements. It also allows the development of a repertoire accessible to all.
