    Best teachers

    I haven't been to Motionfest but I have gone to some terrific workshops in my time and was wondering who was doing the best workshops these days.

    If you were picking who would do a workshop at your local fest, who would it be?

    Me.

    I would provide a small tent, a small tightrope and all the other usual stuff and do a workshop called:

    "How to be really entertaining without actually mastering the tricks - the blaggards guide to street circus."

    Would you like to see some pics?

        On juggling I would say Jay Gilligan does some awesome workshops, I did a 4 day stage in France with him. After the lessons your head is exploding and you are so full of inspiration to work everything out.
        On technical juggling I got 4 days lessons from Jason Garfield. He was invited in The Netherlands to give a masterclass. He is a very good teacher.

          Come on every-one, I'm researching a serious project here and really want to know about great teachers especially in Dance, Circus and Word. Who would you go out of your way to do a 10 day workshop with.

          Would you go far to attend a workshop on the spoken word run by Billy Connolly or a music workshop by Nigel Kennedy?

              Writing Comedy in Theory and Practice ;; Paul Rogan.

              Of course there are others possibly greater, but they don't do workshops.....
