INTRODUCING THE ONLINE CREATION LAB 2026: A NEW INTERNATIONAL PLATFORM FOR EMBODIED JUGGLING RESEARCH AND ARTISTIC INNOVATION

The Online Creation Lab 2026 launches as a new global initiative dedicated to exploring juggling as an embodied, expressive, and evolving language. Designed as a meeting ground for diverse creative practices, the Lab welcomes movers, jugglers, dancers, educators, and interdisciplinary artists from around the world — regardless of experience level or chosen prop.
Unlike traditional technique-driven courses, the Online Creation Lab proposes a new model: a shared artistic ecosystem where ideas, bodies, and objects intersect. Participants are invited to work with any prop or material — balls, clubs, hoops, rings, stones, sticks, fabric, found objects, or even no object at all. The focus is on creative research, not technical mastery, making the Lab accessible to beginners and professionals alike.

ABOUT THE LAB

Free from the constraints of object specificity or technical prerequisites, the Lab invites artists to shape their creative vocabulary according to their own interests, materials, and imaginative impulses.
