Click on the pictures here to find out more about a few of the performers in the show at Cumbria Juggling Convention.
Some acts are from as far away as Sweden, some are top British jugglers from Leeds, and some are only from down the road!
A beautiful mix of the exotic and local, giving the performers who started off in Appleby a chance to work along side some of the best in the bussiness.
Theres also a mystery performer, someone who's bound to get the juggling world in a spin.... but who will not be revealed until closer to the time!
I like to keep people in suspense...
Wes Peden has performed in 18 countries including Japan, Israel, Australia, and Iceland. He has won awards from the International Juggling Association and the festival Cirque de Demain. He was educated at the University of Dance and Circus in Stockholm, Sweden. His juggling is a pop art machine that turns teddy bears into multi colored circle juggling and flower pants into 5 ball elbow bounces. It's 30% Barbie, 60% geometry, and 200% juggling.
Unleash the child inside with juggling, music and silliness from Matthew Tiffany. Witness the juggling of 7 balls and 5 clubs, spinning 8 rings on the arms and legs as well as incredible feats of balance and multi-tasking.
Grew up in Appleby, and now studying juggling at university, Charles returns home to where it all began to compère the Cumbria Juggling Convention show! Prepare for the crazy stunts and intricate tricks that are his style!
Multi-talented Leeds based performer, has been all over the world with his acts. Including 4 months in California last year performing and teaching his skills! He'll premiere a new staff routine for us.
Favourite of the British juggling scene. Jon will be performing his three ball act for us, and doing some crazy moves that will make you think "How the fricking heck did he do that!??"
Who will our international mystery star be??! To be revealed closer to the event...keep your eyes out for clues!
