Workshop with Darragh McLoughlin

Darragh McLoughlin

A four-day artistic workshop led by Darragh McLoughlin with students from the Académie Fratellini and Ésacto’Lido. Together, they will explore creation through mechanics (rules, constraints, protocols) rather than through narrative or emotion, to analyze and reinvent works through the lens of “mechanics” and “game feel ” (game feel)—a concept used in game design, where mechanics profoundly alter the experience and atmosphere of a work.

Liza Van Brakel

Liza van Brakel has developed a personal juggling style coming from a non-juggling background. She started out as an acrobatic dancer before becoming a juggler. She took juggling as a manipulation of objects and combined it with the movements discovered in acro-dance. She first played with one object for a long time before moving on to two or three. She has created a unique style based on movement and physicality.

Emilia Tau

Antipodism is a juggling practice where traditionally the juggler uses a bench (trinka) to manipulate objects with his feet. From 2001, Emilia Tau developed a technique of antipodism with juggling balls and contributed to the renewal of this art, using an object hitherto little used in antipodism. She was thus able to invest the space without the trinka and used the siteswap and other methods specific to juggling for the creation of patterns in solo and in duo. Means that gave him more freedom in composition and expression. At the same time, she has developed a pedagogy specific to this technique.
