Jay Gilligan’s new show “REFLEX” at MiTu580 Theater.
A great evening of inventive, philosophical, compassionate juggling by the incomparable Jay Gilligan. Being produced by the amazing ‘Hideaway Circus‘ duo and being presented at a lovely theater in Brooklyn called MiTu580.
I can’t explain the show so much as tell you it is just great! It is always a delight to watch a virtuoso perform their talent. Whether it be a piano recital, jazz musician, or…

Yet another version of Jay Gilligans previous lectures on juggling (TEDx and GCHS Writers Week). Go see them if you haven’t before.
A lecture about his work in juggling (past and present) to give us a glimpse into the future. This version has better lighting, better filming, better articulated, better juggling, better sound, better music, better staging and better costume. It all makes the message more clear. Hearing Jay talk about juggling helps me finding my own language about juggling.
Here's five reasons why I find Jays talks interesting:
Jay...
has worked with most juggling styles and technics.
thinks a lot about performing juggling.
has English as a first language.
works extremely hard to keep up with other art forms.
has been in the game for a very long time, actively.
The most important part for me is at 14:48, where Jay starts to talk about colors. His example of a painter using one color makes me realize how ridiculous our object manufacturing is. We've come a long way, but there's an even longer way of what we can do with juggling. This realization makes me excited and motivated to push juggling forward to give future generations of jugglers more possibilities to express themselves.
