Juggling Flowersticks by Ivo Alderliesten from Czechia | IJA Tricks of the Month

This series is part of eJuggle, the IJA’s online juggling resource: https://www.juggle.org/ejuggle.

Hello, my name is Ivo Alderliesten, and I am a Dutch/Czech based in Prague (Czechia). In this video, I would like to invite you to see the different possibilities flowersticks have to offer. Exploring what is possible and pushing these boundaries is my passion and drive in juggling.

My juggling journey began fourteen years ago with flowersticks, and ever since I have been specialising in contact tricks – mainly with balls, clubs, staffs, or hats. I like to take inspiration from these props to flowersticks. I love to look at juggling from a technical and movement perspective.

I enjoy teaching circus, doing workshops, and travelling for juggling conventions (see you at the next EJC!). Currently, I am the EJA (European Juggling Association) Representative for Czechia.

Special thanks to:
my dear wife Katja for the filming & editing, and for the moral and emotional support
to IJA for the opportunity
to Cirqueon for the studio space
to the incredible juggling community for constant inspiration
to Chris, Carlos, Ghost, Casper, Sho, Davide, and many others for pushing the limits of juggling with flowersticks
