DynaMike's JUGGLING WORKSHOPS
Juggling | Balance | object manipulation | SELF-DiscoverY
SOME Nice things juggling workshops remind people of
"oh yeah, I can learn to do NEW THINGS, just by trying."
A central and enduring benefit of juggling workshops, is the reminder that we can discover and learn to do interesting and enjoyable things just by trying. It is a magical and important to experience the little mental "click" that happens when we find ourselves newly able to do something that we could not do only moments earlier. When we suddenly know and feel how it works. Click!
Its fun to BE PLAYFUL AND CURIOUS
People aren't robots (I don't think). And object manipulation can be thought of as dancing just as well as it can be thought of as executing rigid mathy patterns. Simply playing with objects and our ideas about them, immediately suggests all kinds of pathways toward new skills and self-discoveries.
concentration and patience are cool virtues
Each of use, who can speak or stand, has learned to successful coordinate miraculous and complex biological systems: our own bodies. During mostly unremembered episodes of trying again and again we learned how our bodies work, and how the world works. Great news! The laboratory is still open! Like walking and talking, we can learn juggling and balance skills by trying and watching and thinking about what is happening, both inside and outside of ourselves.
RESPECTFUL ENCOURAGEMENT IS BETTER THAN BOSSY PERFECTIONISM
People have different bodies and backgrounds. And different possibilities and futures. DynaMike's juggling workshops, proceed from that recognition; and present participants with many possibilities, diverse juggling toys and skills, and lots of encouragement to follow one's own curiosities at ones own's pace.
