Juggle Jam @ CHAW

Published on by christiankloc

May 17th @ 6-7 p.m.

Visit the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop for this casual and fun class devoted to the unparalleled joys of juggling. The workshop begins with a brief demo, moves into hands-on practice and concludes with a collaborative performance. No experience necessary, and all equipment is provided.

Feel free to RSVP at the Facebook event page. Cost is a $5 suggested donation to CHAW’s tuition assistance fund.

About the artist: Christian Kloc learned to juggle at age six after seeing the Flying Karamazov Brothers perform. What started as a basic trick became an obsession. Christian grew up attending juggling festivals across the country and performing at local events. After 25 years, he is still surprised and amazed by the power of that ‘basic trick’ to change lives and cause spontaneous outbursts of fun in the world.
