Brilliant new wave artist Michael Moschen combines juggling, physics, movement and dance to create a world of balls, rings, hoops and spheres that fly, float and spin with grace, humor and haunting beauty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Astounding!!! Imaginitive!!! Deserves 8 stars!!!, September 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: In Motion With Michael Moschen [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I saw Michael's masterful performance on PBS 3-4 years ago, missed the opportunity to get the vidio at that time, and am delighted to finally have it in our library! It's hard to believe that a person can achieve the degree of control necessary to combine such bewildering and imaginative juggling with poetic, graceful movement!

What appears impossible, Michael makes look so easy--and fun to do. Just try some of the moves with NOTHING in your hands, and I think you'll see what I mean.

We enjoy his work thoroughly! I believe that anyone who acquires this video will have no regrets!

5.0 out of 5 stars He is one of the best!, May 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: In Motion With Michael Moschen [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Like everyone else I first saw his Great Performances appearance years ago, more like 6 years ago now and was dazzled! I have looked for this video for a long time and am happy to find it now. It will be a treasure.

Also of note for Michael Moschen fans: He did choreography for the new Cirque du Soleil travelling show "Quidam" and I beleive he remains associated with them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Michael Moschen's Dance in America show, October 30, 2000

This review is from: In Motion With Michael Moschen [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is from PBS's Dance in America series. The first part of the show is Moschen as juggler. Moschen's speciality as a juggler is bouncing balls off things, a speciality well displayed as he plays with rhythmn and motion in a large wooden triangle. His work is then shown in two dances - one using ring and stick, one using glass balls - where shape and motion are displayed in fascinating forms.

What makes this video a "must have" is the insight into how he works are created - through showing his exploration of the motion of objects (in sand and sculpture), in his working with the dance troop on the ring/stick sequence and in his exploration of architectural forms.

Moschen is an artist that desires wider attention; this video shows why.
