First Run
I ran the workshops for the first time yesterday at the Leeds Juggling Convention.
Thoughts about the workshop:
Goods:
- I finally got to run through both the lectures/workshops in front of people who haven't had to hear me wittering about it whilst they were being writ.
- People seemed interested and generally seemed to follow things.
- I got through it.
- Lap-top worked well.
Hmms:
- Complex stuff done too quickly. - Should this mean do less or be more specific?
- Too few of me- couldn't get round everyone to check things working as they should.
- Clurby suggests that the injuries stuff at the beginning wasn't desperately relevant to jugglers. True but I had advertised it as such. Will start on tendons and repetitious pain next time unless talking to trapezers and acro folk.
Bads:
- My voice died that afternoon and it still hurts.
- Nothing too heinous I don't think. If you have any comments (and were there) please tell me what you thought. If I don't know what was cack then I can't improve it.
Have fun.

I walked in on the Leeds workshop by accident and I'm so glad I did! It was really informative and interesting and Alan was a great explainer! The only thing I found difficult was knowing whether the physical excercises that I was doing were telling me that I had poor mobility / posture or good mobility / posture, but Alan mentions that there wasn't enough of him to go round to check everyone. I'll definately look out for more from him :o)

Thanks for that Liz. I might manage to get to the next Fundango so if you are there and have any questions then just grab me when you can.
If I remember correctly you were the one doing the shoulder stuff on the mat yes? If so then the exercises were to improve shoulder control. You're looking to make all the movements slow and smooth rather than sudden and/or ratchetty.
How are the trigger points?
Have fun.

The trigger points haven't been playing up much at all since then! I've been walking around trying to use the correct muscles and make sure I'm not stressing that area. The shoulders are still ratchety though!!
:O)
