Essay
Juggling with Shit
Nathan Israël
Following on his essay “Juggling with Death”, this provocatively-titled text is another invitation to poetically explore the thoughts of a juggler from the very beginning.
After death and before love, this is the place for a very special material to think about the scabrous, the formless and the visceral in art and, more broadly, our relationship with a damaged world.

Essay
Juggling with Death
Nathan Israël
From a deep and meaningful expression, the juggling author delivers a poetic mediation intended to characterize death in juggling.
By considering both the vitality and the deadly character of various facts and phenomena, he reflects with humility, humor and provocation on his double condition of human being and juggler.

This sound score tells the story of the transformation of a juggling act that can only be expressed in the interaction with the other.

An attempt to write from the piece for seven jugglers and a drummer Dans les plis du paysage, resulting from the meeting between Esther Friess and the scenic universe of the Collectif Petit Travers.

Call for papers
Writings: Creating with Juggling
Cyrille Roussial (coord.)
The editorial committee of the magazine Jonglages is opening a first thematic dossier dedicated to a particular meaning of the word “writing”, a meaning that refers to juggling inscribed or destined to be inscribed at the very heart of a work and its creative process.
Because juggling dramaturgies imply a variety of practices and works, this call for contributions was conceived as an invitation to establish benchmarks to best speak of what exists among juggling.
