Chris Bliss - Juggling as Dance

Chris Bliss is a comedian and juggler. Or vice versa. Watch this video, as Chris juggles to music, and tell me which.

Yes, I know, this has been making the rounds, and it isn't what one would call "news" - but, after the frenzy is fed, you get to see what Mr. Bliss is doing, his "statement," as it were. The discipline of juggling. The emotive power of music. The play between.

The "Diss" guy is a good juggler, but it just isn't the same! I watch the video frequently and I always smile at the same things and I never tire of it.
Anonymous said...: no doubt, this guy is a good juggler, but, as you watch it, he HOLDS the balls frequently .... Chris Bliss never HELD onto the balls, they were constantly in motion, that's my only critism of Jason .... Jason is good, but Chris is brilliant. perhaps 5 is just to many to manage with them all in motion...
