We’re very excited to welcome this year’s special guests, the Institute of Jugglology!
Ellen Winters and Galen Harp juggle to get out what’s inside. In 2005 they
combined forces and established the Institute of Jugglology to craft new
juggling that makes the world smile. Using juggling props instead of brushes,
they create a surreal ephemeral painting during every performance. In 2014
they were awarded the gold medal at the International Juggling Championships
for their routine “Mandala”, which they’ll be performing along with several
other amazing pieces!
Morgan is
the president of the Queen’s Jugglers’ Club and a fourth year drama student
at Queen’s University. When she’s not juggling, you can find her leading
tours at the Haunted Walk of Kingston or writing about theatre she has seen
on her blog. She loves looking
silly and can’t wait to prove it to you at the Limestone City Juggling Festival
Gala Show!
Sam is a
juggler out of Ithaca, NY who has recently wanted to bring the past to the
present. In our show he is delighted to bring you his version of Cinquevalli’s
Human Billiard Table, a rare and classic routine from the time of Queen Victoria.
He trains at Circus Culture and
is excited to be performing.
This year’s winner of the X-Juggling 3-ball extreme competition, Kevin is
truly a ball juggler’s ball juggler. When not throwing things he keeps busy
making deals, designing molecules, and doing science education as part of
a cutting-edge synthetic biology startup in Montréal. A former president
of the Queen’s Jugglers, he’s happy to be back on his home turf and sharing
his love of spheres with you.
From Kingston, Ontario, Jordan is one of our own. Still in high school,
he’s already a seasoned performer after making his debut in the Kingston
Busker’s Rendezvous and at the first annual Limestone City Juggling Festival
last year. We wish Jordan all the best as he auditions in November for a
spot at the prestigious École nationale de cirque in Montréal.
Ryan
is the enigmatic quiet one, until he picks up a guitar. Recently returned
from a year studying in South Korea, this Queen’s University student is ready
to make you smile and dance in your seat with a juggling-themed musical performance.
Avery
is an alumnus of the Rochester Institute of Technology juggling club, and
has spent the last four years learning diabolo. He’s been performing on stage
now for about 4 minutes, and is apparently the same age as the Kingston Juggling
Club. Follow him on Instagram.
