20th Israeli Juggling Convention!

If I had one word to describe the Israeli Juggling Convention, it was "hospitality". 

Today, two weeks after the Convention, I have a hard time believing that all this really happened. Apart from the fact that I could enjoy Israels palm trees, sun shine and real good food, I did also have some awesome and inspiring encounters. 

All this and a grateful audience for my performance on the last night made this convention a special experience to me.

and participating in the "Juggling Olympics"....

NEW DATES: Israel and France!

 
Two more weeks until I will board the plane to Tel Aviv. The Israelian Juggling Convention invited me to perform "Paganini" on their Gala-Show. And so I will have the chance to visit this extraordinary event and perform together with some awesome jugglers.

After this the Collectif 100% Plastik will be performing at the Festival Rencontre des Jonglages in Paris. We will organise a 100% feminine Cabaret, in which we will show extracts from our work in the Collectif and our Solos.

"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.
