Juggling and Body Rhythms Workshop (Ages 9–12) is a 90-minute, two-instructor workshop that explores bodily expression through movement, rhythm, and objects. Beginning with warm-up games, participants develop body awareness, a sense of rhythm, and group cohesion through mirroring, name games, and basic body sounds (click-clap-snap-boom). Following the introduction, the workshop explores the relationship with objects using the "juggling alphabet" and its techniques, while Keith Terry’s 9-beat body percussion system is used to discover how rhythm and movement manifest in the body. Progressing through solo, duo, and group exercises, the creative processes where juggling balls and body percussion intertwine, deepen through improvisation and looping practices. While experiencing the relationship between body, space, and rhythm, participants are placed at the center of the process by discovering the creative potential of making mistakes. The workshop ends with a collective choir performance.
