PORTLAND JUGGLERS
Weekly Gatherings
Many of us now meet at wonderfully supportive
JaJa PDX (819 SE Taylor)
for indoor juggling
Tuesdays from 7-9.
And for Flow Night
Wednesdays from 6 - Midnight.
Some of us also meet at
Alberta Park (2000 NE Killingsworth St.)
for outdoor juggling
Wednesdays from 6 - dark.
Gatherings are open to the public and welcome donations. All kinds of juggling, object manipulation, and circus skills are embraced. We are famously playful and generous with the sharing of our juggling knowledge.
The Portland Jugglers met on Wednesdays from 7-9 at the Reed College Sports Center for decades. Alas, the collapse of Reed's gym now has us adrift.
Reed College began offering juggling as a PE class in 1979, and it was open to the public who frequently brought new skills to the college class. The public component grew into the Portland Jugglers, and we traditionally meet weekly concurrent with the college class. We are grateful to Reed College for helping foster Portland's vibrant juggling community and look forward to the rebirthing of Reed's Gym space.
