Juggling jamboree
Juggler Blake Speers demonstrates the basic tools of his trade in preparation for the 2005 Victoria Juggling Festival, which takes place at UVic’s Student Union Building, March 11-13. Jugglers from all over B.C., the rest of Canada and the U.S. will gather to show off moves and teach skills using a wide range of juggling props—everything from balls, clubs and unicycles to walking globes, bowler hats and the increasingly popular diabolos. The festival, hosted by the UVic juggling club, will include workshops, competitions and vendors, and an evening performance. The Saturday evening show called, “Out of Hand: An International Showcase of Juggling and the Performing Arts,” takes place at Victoria High School and will feature some of the best jugglers in the world. Tickets for the entire weekend are $30 ($25 for students). Evening performance tickets can be purchased separately. For more information visit www.vicjugfest.com.
