Gandini workshop Sat 17 Jan 2-5pm The Circus Space

Gandini Juggling is a London-based group of virtuoso jugglers, considered by circus connoisseurs to be
the crème de la crème of dexterous creativity. Choreographed by long time collaborator, Gill
Clarke, its double bill for the Mime Festival celebrates a decade of exuberant juggling. In Duet, a new work directed by John Paul Zaccarini (Company F/Z) and set to a soundtrack of fado and romantic songs, and with Guy Bellingham live on musical saw, company founders Sean Gandini and Kati Ylä-Hokkala put a mirror to their work/life relationship, as lovers and juggling partners.
Quartet, an unashamed celebration of group juggling features Iñaki Fernandez Sastre, Sean Gandini, Manu Laude and Kati Ylä-Hokkala.
The Gandini quartet is a tightly knit precision machine, weaving complex patterns with balls, clubs and rings – 30 minutes of joyous virtuosity set to the music of Vivaldi.

'Somewhere between juggling and dance, this beautifully performed piece is light but resonant with a simple emotional pull and a lovely understated maturity.' The Times
ÔBreathtaking choreography... funny and aesthetically delightful. The audience, myself included, were rapt!' British Theatre Guide
