Analysis of The Juggler
Jamie Tierney 1991 (Cardiff)
Juggler chooses suitable objects
Choice depends on desired effect
Catering to audience defects
Simultaneously three or more project
Before starting a performance
Often engage in warm-up exercise
Ensure smooth execution conformance
Routine their way to centralise
Tossing and catching management
Maintaining consistent rhythm and pace
Slave to others entertainment
Centre stage believing their ace
Pattern manipulation throughout routine
Alternate between single, double, triple
Adding complexity to smokescreen
Visual interest act fickle
Variety keeps audience engaged
Incorporate different techniques of underhand
Behind the back sabotaged
False flow ultimately ends reprimand
Audience interaction, inviting participant
Adding element of surprise unpredictably
Overall entertainment value significant
Thinly spreading energy, vibration immeasurably
