Gandini Juggling – weaving patterns in the air

In the Studio

Available for over a year

Formed in 1992 by world-renowned jugglers Sean Gandini and Kati Ylä-Hokkala, Gandini Juggling are trailblazers in their field. Fusing contemporary dance and circus, they have been delighting audiences in over 50 countries across the world. This Summer they will be performing in the courtyard of London’s Somerset House working with the rise and fall of its 55 water jet fountains. Visual theatre producers Crying Out Loud have brought together the 27 jugglers accompanied by the French acrobat-musicians Circa Tsuica to celebrate the 250th anniversary of modern circus. Felicity Finch joins Sean and his company as they prepare to weave patterns in the air for their latest piece, Cascade. (Image: Sean Gandini juggling some balls. Photography by Ash)
