“Gandini Juggling have been one of the world’s most prolific and adventurous circus companies for over two decades. Founded with the aim of fusing juggling and dance, they have continually pushed the artistic and technical boundaries of juggling, resulting in performances that delight, astound, and defy easy categorisation. Iconic and iconoclastic in equal measures, Gandini Juggling have changed the perception of what juggling is and what it can be – transforming what might be considered a parlour-trick into a rich and distinctive art form in its own right.”
Edited by Thomas Wilson and covering more than 25 of Gandini Juggling’s major performances, Juggling Trajectories maps the growth of one of the UK’s most influential circus companies. I contributed an essay on the piece 20:20 – a unique commission, performed at the National Theatre in 2012, that celebrated twenty years of the company’s work by bringing together a one-off ensemble of twenty jugglers.
