Tell your friends, tell yourself! Portland Juggling & Vaudeville Extravaganza
Saturday October, 1, 7 p.m. at Kaul Auditorium on the Reed College Campus
Inspiration, entertainment, and camaraderie come together at the highlight of the Portland Juggling Festival:
The Juggling and Vaudeville Extravaganza!
As a juggler, object manipulator and/or movement artist, you know the effect of inspiration on your art. There is no more inspiring event for kinetic artists in our region than the Juggling and Vaudeville Extravaganza.
SEE: Luke Burrage, the Brit from Berlin who has wowed audiences on seven, yes seven, continents with his innovation,
comedy, and setting of a 12, yes 12, ball solo juggling record and recently breaking the 18-ball passing record.
WONDER: at the collision of physical comedy and virtuoso juggling that won this year's IJA Team Silver Medal. SMIRK! is Reid Belstock and Warren Hammond.
MARVEL: at The Handsome Little Devils, who recently packed Broadway's New Victory Theatre with their exquisitely choreographed and costumed comedy juggling. David Clay and Mike Huling are the real Mad Hatters.
REIGNITE: your love of sharing as The Poetic Motion Machine returns to show us how friends can pass clubs like one multi-armed entity knitting rainbows. These Humboldt innovators won an IJA Silver and a great many hearts.
GAPE: As IJA board member Thom Wall juggles with his hair, elbows, cheeks, and alacrity.
SMILE: and laugh as David Aiken spins his way into your fun filled evening.
GIGGLE: as comedy abounds with local pros holding the stage for a ransom of laughter. This year we expect such favorites as Sarah Lianne Foster, international Clown Without Borders; Charlie Brown, overachieving minimalist; "Leapin Louie" Lichtenstein, the Northwest's most traveled cowboy; Bri & Brian's beautiful ball duet ; Rhys Thomas, versatile vaudevillian, and Curt Carlyle seriously funny juggling.
Get excited and spread the word. Let’s fill the auditorium for this memorable show!
