TEDxAberystwyth 2025 Speaker
Robin is a performer and researcher, whose work includes performative investigation of the physiology, psychology, and philosophy underlying the art of jugging. His award-winning solo show What Stuff Does, has toured internationally for 8 years, and he has performed with Gandini Juggling in their two most iconic shows: Smashed and Akhnaten (The Juggling Opera). He is currently studying for his PhD in computer science at the University of Birmingham.
In his talk, Robin explains and demonstrates a numerical system called Siteswap, which is used by jugglers to create and communicate tricks. He then explores how different types of symbolic notations are used as tools in creative practices, exemplified by a notation of his own devising and a ping-pong juggling routine. You can now see his talk on YouTube.
