Lestival! The Leicester Juggling Festival
Hi my name is Simeon I am 9 years old. Last week I attended the circusworks youth festival with no fit state circus.I got to perform in the gala show juggling 5 balls.I didn't feel nervous at all there was about 100 people in the audience.I've done 750 catches with 5 balls, with 6 balls I can do half shower, async and sync fountain I am also learning a 9,3 half shower I can do a 7,5 with inside 7s I am learning a 4 ball mills mess and also 5,3,4,mills mess. One time I did 7 balls for 35 catches and I'm learning a 7 ball half shower I've also tried to do site swaps with 7 such as 9,6,6 and 8,6,7, and (8x6)* with 5 balls I'm learning how to do (8x4)(44). I have performed at the NEC in Birmingham, in my school Assembly and at my Circus school.
I am a self taught juggler, been juggling for 3 years now This past year I have had juggling lessons at the Circus school.
I love all this juggling.
Bye for now
Hello! Are you Tracey posting on behalf of Simeon, or are you Simeon posting with the account that Tracey asked to set up for you? I can change your username to Simeon if you'd like? that would be less confusing for everyone!
That's an impressive list of achievements there, how much of that progress was made before you started circus school?
Hi I am Simeon posting on my mum Tracey's account.
Could you change the name to Simeon Please.
I taught myself to juggle up to 5 balls but could only do a few tricks that I made up myself. I had no idea of site swaps before I started my juggling lessons. In my juggling lessons I was helped with my timing, posture and to understand site swaps.
Done. You'll need to use Simeon as your username the next time you log on.
What were the tricks you made up yourself?

"You'll need to use Simeon as your username the next time you log on."
How's he going to know that without logging on to see the message? Which he won't be able to do if he doesn't know that his username has changed because he hasn't seen the message...
I expect you've considered that and informed him by some other means as well, though, Orin.
I could only do tricks with up to four balls. Like half shower, sync and Asynchronous but I didn't know the names of the patterns before I started having lessons at Circus school.
Hi Simeon,
I would have liked to see you at the Circusworks festival but unfortunately whilst my youth circus were there (Concrete Circus), I was at the British Juggling Convention instead. Which circus school do you attend? It might be good for you to attend juggling conventions if you don't already as that can provide a lot of positive stimulation.

Hi Nigel I remember seeing concrete circus last week. I attend Circus Mash in Birmingham for my lessons.
My mum is going to take me to lestival this year and the EJC next year. I can't wait.
Hi Simeon,
If you are at Circus Mash then hopefully Tom can teach you lots of great skills. If you are looking at close juggling conventions then Milton Keynes Juggling Convention in November is just as good as Lestival (I'd say better but Jay would want to pick a fight). You get to see Concrete Circus performing in the show there as well.

Hi Nigel
Thanks for letting me know about the Milton Keynes festival. It would be nice to see Jay again I remember him.
I go to Toms juggling club but only in the school holidays at it starts and finishes to late on a school night. We talk about our new juggling balls and use each other's to juggle with. We like to talk and try out new tricks together.
I am teaching my mum how to juggle, she can do about 12 throws and catches 3 ball cascade. My Dad is not as good as my mum yet.

Hi Simeon,
I'm flattered that you claim to remember me ... but alas I may have to see you in person before I can recall where we've met, apologies.
Anyway, that dreadful old #MKJC won't happen again for about a billion years, you'll be long dead before it comes around, whereas Lestival! is in just three weeks' time! I'm pretty sure it's on the 5th May this year and I shall be there all day, so come along and re-introduce yourself to me.
Whatever you do, make it your business to immerse yourself in as many conventions and events as you possibly can, so that you can nurture and grow that fantastic talent you have whilst you are still annoyingly precociously young ;-)

Lestival - the 6th Leicester Circus Festival!
This important message has been liberally plastered all over teh interwebs :-
Hi all,
Well, we've been been keeping ourselves very much to ourselves up until now, but Lestival VI is just one short week away. May the 4th be with you!
This year Lestival falls on May the 4th, also known as Star Wars Day. Consequently there will be free lightsabers for everyone attending. Hurrah! Please use them responsibly and try not to chop your granny in half when you get home.
As usual we have all the goodies you've come to expect - our spiffy juggling space with its stoopid high ceilings, games, traders, choons, the fantastic café, WiFi (if the venue remembers the password), and an evening show hosted by Gandini Juggling Project stalwart Jon Udry, and friends.
The ticket prices remain the same, topping out at £8 for an all-day adult ticket.
We'll be open from 10-10 and we'd love to see lots and lots of you there.

I'm led to believe (by Jay Linn amongst others) that this is a wonderful convention that you all wish to attend. As an added bonus I will not be there (again).
