EJC 2015

 

01.08.2015 – 09.08.2015: EJC Bruneck, Italy

 

Dear jugglers,

We have some good news for you: Despite all the difficulties in the beginning we are still expecting to have an EJC 2015! There are already a lot of motivated and committed organisers, unit managers and helpers volunteering for the EJC. Thank you! Additionally we have the full support of the town of Bruneck.

The time to prepare the event is fairly short, so we should all expect a simpler convention where everyone needs to contribute wherever possible. Please look for opportunities to help without waiting to be asked. Flexibility and community spirit will be needed more than ever. All the essential parts will be organised, though no one should expect luxury or perfection.

On this website we will try to keep you up to date about what is planned and what is not (yet) planned, then you’ll know exactly what to expect from EJC 2015. Please contact us if you can offer specific help with one of the tasks below. We especially need a dedicated coordinator and many acts for the shows taking place in the Town Hall Square. Please contact in...@ejc2015.org (and please write in English or German).

 

This year it is especially important to ensure the financial security of the event in advance. As part of the community spirit we’d like to encourage everyone to pre-register as soon as possible.  Pre-registration opens in April (exact dates will soon be announced).

 

Unfortunately, if not enough people pre-register the EJC will not happen. That is why we want you to know what to expect from the EJC before you pre-register. Every registration indicates that you accept and support what we are trying to achieve with this EJC.

 

There will be a live running total of the registrations on the website. If we don’t get enough registrations and the EJC cannot take place, everyone will get their money refunded (minus bank charges). You can also donate money to the EJC which will increase the chance of the EJC taking place .

 

This is the current situation (the following list will be updated regularly):

 

This is what the EJC 2015 will definitely offer:

  • All important locations directly next to each other
  • Two triple gyms
  • Campsite next to the gyms
  • Small aerial gym
  • Fire space
  • Plenty of toilets and showers
  • Parking within a short walking distance
  • Security
  • Pre-registration from April onwards

 

The following aspects are already well covered, though helpers are still needed:

  • Info-point
  • Stilts area
  • Passing zone
  • Acro area
  • Volleyclub and Jollyball
  • Fight Night
  • Games and Alternative Games
  • Making Of (film, TV, Internet)
  • Open Stages
  • Waste disposal
  • Tech (lights, sound, electricity)

 

The following areas still need to be covered and that is where we need you (if you are interested please contact: in...@ejc2015.org)

  • Parade (please contact Sonja on so...@ejc2015.org if you’d like to coordinate)
  • Caravan site (we need a coordinator)
  • Street shows: artists (to play 4-6 places in Bruneck) and someone to coordinate
  • Town Hall Stage: Acts for the Opening Show and other shows on the Town Hall Square (alternatively on the Kronplatz in Bruneck) and someone to coordinate.

 

Please contact us if you have a finished act. This could be a ‘classic’ or something new or even a really nice youth circus act. Unlike Open Stage Acts they will not just be performed in front of jugglers, but in Bruneck as a thank you for their friendly welcome to their town. Please help give something back to the local community and show off your skills. We would like to show off the best juggling and circus skills Europe has to offer. We cannot offer a fee or a free ticket, but a good convention price for everyone and catering on the day for the artists.

 

The following will only take place if we find people to make them happen:

  • Workshops (please mail so...@ejc2015.org in English or German)
  • A good polished website (contents provided by us)
  • Media & PR
  • Youth Circus
  • Aerial coordinator
  • Show coordinator, stage manager and stage hands
