What the reviewers have said:

"Shots of passing and weaving and turning patterns made of flying clubs and dancing human bodies, seen from above and against a grid, make a nod to Penrose and Escher (and even Busby Berkeley) very explicit. Each pattern is matched to the tempo and feeling of one of Bach's Goldberg Variations.

"Some of the most exquisite juggling photography ever created"

"The DVD concludes with a selection of short performances taken at the Lille 2002 spring stage, and an "educational" section where the Madison passing patterns are very precisely demonstrated. This last is made exceptionally clear by the choice of lighting, camera positions, props, and costumes. You could learn a lot from this DVD, and that's exactly what was intended. "
