When I need new inspiration on my juggling project, I always go for him.
Ivar is one of the people that I trust in juggling and art.
He is a director of a contemporary circus company, Cirkus Cirkör and Dans och Cirkushögskolan/School of Dance and Circus in Sweden.

He is not a juggler but he knows art which is maybe more important than knowing how to juggle.
When I first was introduced to him in 2014 (wow 4 years ago!), I had prints of my paintings of juggling I have done.
And He said 1 thing that still drives me to do this.
I think this is not what exactly he said but he said something like
"The challenging thing is there is a huge time gap between painting history and juggling history. it's not easy to express juggling, such a young concept, using very classical method. But what you can do is you can paint the future of juggling. Paintings can do what jugglers can't do now and your paintings can inspire jugglers".
It seems like a big job to do.
I have been trying to figure what it is to inspire jugglers to move forward.
But I have came to the point that this is a too big job to do by myself. so I decided to share my opinions with more people and hopefully there are some more people who would be interested in this topic.
