"Paganini" on tour

I've been improving my Solo act and had the chance to perform it a few more times since its success on the EJC 2012. These pictures were taken by William van der Voort, when I peformed in the Theater De NWE Vorst in Tilburg last friday. 
A few more performances during the next month are already in negociation. One of them outside of Europe. I am looking forward to that! Stay tuned.

La Collection: a juggling collective

Since summer 2012 I am a member of the girls juggling collective "La Collection". The project was iniciated by the two exceptional jugglers Audrey Decaillon and Isabelle du Bois in october 2011 with the aim to gather a group of high-skilled, female club jugglers to create a show. 
The collective consists now of a core group of five fixed members. Together we are working on a show that will have it's Premiere prospectively in autumn 2013.

In december 2012 La Collection flew to Africa for a few days to perform in the presidential palace of Gabun. The event was held for around 400 handicapped kids and their supervisors. The photos were taken right after the performance: La Collection under the presidential christmas tree and a few kids who came to say hello.

 
 

 

review of my act on EJC

For the International Juggler's Association Greg Owsley wrote in his official review of the EJC 2012:


"For example, I had the privilege to do some one club manipulation jamming with Anni Küpper. I first heard about her from Kyle Johnson last year at the incredible Arkansas juggling convention. Kyle credited her for the inspiration of his amazing three club rolling over the stomach trick (I don’t know the official name of the trick). She is an awesome human being. Moreover, she competed at the first special show at the EJC. This show compiled a half dozen circus school jugglers to compete for an opportunity to open the EJC Gala show. Anni performed with only one club with her hands tied around her back.  She did several cool versions of body rolls and even balanced the club on the back of her heel at one point.  Her act raised the roof; it was great to see her experience success."

Thanks a lot Greg. Our one club jam was fun! Hope to meet you back next summer.

EJC Gala Show!

Sometimes dreams come true.

On this year's European Juggling Convention (EJC) - the biggest Juggling Festival in Europe which took place in Poland - I had the chance to perform on the Gala Show!

After participating in the "Circus School Showdown" competition where a jury evaluated the six different acts performed by circusschool students from all over Europe, my act won the first price which was rewarded with 200€ and a performance on the Gala Show of EJC.

It was a great pleasure to perform for this amazing audience of jugglers who gave me all support that I could have wished for and lovely feedback for my act. Thank you so much!

Groupshow "I am not here"

Time was flying during these last four weeks of creation, in which the 2nd and 3rd year of Tilburg's circusschool ACaPA prepared the groupshow "I am not here" - thanks to our two directors Arjan Gebraad and Karolien Verlinden. A good working atmosphere led to a respectable result that was rewarded with lots of compliments after the two performances in Tilburg Concertzaal. Good times!

Thanks also to Jostijn Ligtvoet for taking these great shots right before and during the performance:

Duo

It's been a while since my duo-partner Thibo and me could work together. However, the Duo shall be continued and we are back with a new concept.

Here's a video of extracts from our act how we performed it on a juggling convention a year ago (I got the footage only two weeks ago).
I still like this act, but it's also good to see how our artistical vision has changed over the past months.

New Promo!
