The shift
Expanding the Practice
At a certain point, many jugglers begin looking for something more than technical progression alone.
The challenge is no longer simply learning new tricks, but finding creative tools that help transform technique into composition, performance, and original artistic work.
Most juggling education focuses heavily on execution and repetition, while offering far less insight into improvisation, choreographic thinking, spatial awareness, and creative process.
The Creation Lab was designed to fill that gap — by bringing together 8 international artists who share the methods, structures, and approaches that shape their own contemporary practice.
What it is
An International Space for Contemporary Juggling & Embodied Artistic Research
The Online Creation Lab is not another trick tutorial. It's a curated collection of artistic methodologies from 8 internationally recognized creators — each bringing a distinct perspective on movement, rhythm, composition, improvisation, dramaturgy, and the relationship between body and object.
Across 16 in-depth classes, you're invited into the creative processes of artists working at the frontier of contemporary circus, dance, physical theatre, and embodied research.
This isn't about replicating what they do. It's about finding what you do — through exposure to how the world's most inventive movement artists think, create, and compose.

The transformation
What Changes When You
Enter the Lab
01
You Develop Your Own Artistic Language
Stop imitating. Start authoring. The Lab guides you toward individual approaches to movement, rhythm, composition, and object manipulation — not through prescribing a style, but through exposing you to eight different ones.
02
Your Creative Process Expands
Encounter multiple contemporary methodologies for generating material, structuring improvisation, and developing original work. This isn't a one-time workshop — it's a permanent expansion of your creative toolkit.
03
Your Body-Object Awareness Deepens
Through exercises exploring rhythm, perception, spatial relationships, imagery, and movement quality, you develop greater sensitivity to how your body and your objects actually interact — beyond mechanical execution.
04
You Start Thinking Compositionally
Practical tools connected to dramaturgy, timing, contrast, attention, sequencing, and spatial design. You stop thinking of juggling as a list of tricks and start treating it as an expressive, compositional language.
05
You Build Confidence to Experiment
The self-guided structure creates space for curiosity, risk-taking, and artistic reflection — without the pressure of performance-based evaluation. You move at your own pace. You revisit. You research.
The faculty
8 Artists. 7 Countries.
8 Distinct Creative Worlds.
Each instructor brings a perspective shaped by their own culture, training, and artistic practice. Together, they form a spectrum of contemporary approaches — from minimalist composition to explosive freestyle, from theatrical dramaturgy to somatic research.

Is this for you?
The Creation Lab Is For Anyone Who Wants to Go Deeper
The Creation Lab is designed for anyone who works with movement and objects and wants to go deeper into the why and how of their creative process.
- A juggler who wants to move beyond tricks into composition and personal expression
- A circus artist looking for contemporary approaches to creation and research
- A dancer, mover, or physical theatre practitioner curious about object-based work
- An improviser searching for new frameworks to generate and structure material
- An educator who wants fresh methodologies to bring into your teaching
- A movement researcher exploring the intersection of body, object, and perception
- An interdisciplinary creator interested in dramaturgy, rhythm, imagery, and embodied practice
This is NOT about skill level.
The Lab doesn't care how many objects you can keep in the air. It cares about what you're doing with the ones you have. Participants with diverse movement backgrounds engage meaningfully through exploration, interpretation, and embodied practice.

Our approach
How We Think About Learning
Process over perfection.
The goal isn't to get it right. It's to get deeper.
Exploration over replication.
You're not here to copy eight artists. You're here to find yourself through exposure to eight different ways of creating.
Awareness over performance pressure.
The self-guided format means no evaluations, no deadlines, no audience watching you figure it out. Just you and the work.
Artistic voice over technical conformity.
There is no "correct" method in the Lab. There are perspectives — and your job is to discover which ones resonate with the artist you're becoming.

Questions
Before You Join
Do I need to be an advanced juggler?
No. The Creation Lab is not centered around technical difficulty or advanced tricks. It's about creative process, composition, and artistic development. Participants with diverse movement backgrounds engage meaningfully with the material.
Is this the same as the Functional Juggling course?
No. The Functional Juggling course teaches Craig's proprietary methodology — a complete system for teaching and learning juggling in therapeutic, educational, and playful contexts. The Creation Lab is a collection of artistic perspectives from 8 international artists focused on contemporary movement creation, composition, and improvisation. They complement each other but serve different purposes.
How long do I have access?
Lifetime. The material is pre-recorded and self-guided. You can revisit any lesson at any time, at your own pace.
How much time does it take to complete?
The Lab contains over 10 hours of instruction across 110+ lessons. But it's designed as a revisitable creative resource, not a linear course. Some participants move through it in weeks, others return to individual lessons over months. There's no right pace.
Do I need any specific equipment?
No specific equipment is required — most lessons can be explored with common juggling props or adapted creatively using simple everyday objects and movement-based practice.
Is there a community or discussion space?
Yes. The Creation Lab includes a community chat where participants can share what they're working on, get inspiration from each other, and connect with fellow artists. It's a space for creative exchange — not a paid add-on, just part of the experience.
Will more artists and courses be added?
The Creation Lab is designed as an expanding collection. Future editions may feature new artists with themed focuses — exploring different regions of the world and particular styles of creation. This first volume is your foundation.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes. You have 7 days from purchase to request a full refund — no questions asked. If the Creation Lab isn't right for you, just reach out and we'll process it immediately.
Can I pay in installments?
Yes. You can split the investment into 3 monthly payments of $55 USD. You get full access from your first payment.
