Re: [Juggle] Looking for foot juggler (antipodist)
Ah, okay, got it. I’ve never learned that kind of balancing and spinning. I'll make some inquiries and see if I can find any experts at that style.

Re: [Juggle] Looking for foot juggler (antipodist)
Actually, we are looking for foot jugglers who juggle non-spherical objects, such as tables, vases, parasols, boxes, pieces of cloth, ... But we may end up needing your help over at the Mocap Lab anyway!

Re: [Juggle] Looking for foot juggler (antipodist)
Thinking this over, I think you are probably looking for the kind of foot juggling where you catch balls on the soles of the feet - I’ve never done that kind - I do the kind where you catch on the tops of the feet. If juggling with the soles is what you need, while I *might* be able to pick it up quickly, I’ve never done it. Let me know if you’d like help finding someone who is experienced with that kind of juggling.

Re: [Juggle] Looking for foot juggler (antipodist)
I can do this... I've never used a trinka, but I do foot juggling both standing (catching/throwing with one foot at a time) and lying flat on my back (I can toss and throw from hands to feet, and from foot to foot, and I can juggle three balls between one hand and one foot while lying down). I feel pretty sure I could do most of my lying down juggling in a trinka. That said, I've never done it in a performance, though I've been practicing a lot. If you need people who have more performance experience with it, I know some people I could reach out to who might be willing to travel.
