Juggling demonstration and lesson with Tony Duncan

Tony Duncan will lead a workshop introducing participants to a variety of different manipulation props that are generally used in circus. This includes traditional juggling balls clubs and rings, but also much easier fare, such as diabolo, and some fun partner stuff called “social siteswap” that can be learned by most anyone over the age of 7 with enough coordination to get food onto a fork or spoon and then into their mouth.  Tony has been performing and teaching juggling since 1981.

Tony has performed in venues all over the world and opened for numerous famous celebrities, but he is quite humble and doesn’t like to name drop, (and people under 30 probably wouldn’t recognize most of them). He won the 1982 and 1983 International Jugglers Association (IJA) “numbers” championship, won the 1994 IJA world Championship, as well as other international awards. At the age of 65 he is finally willing to rest on his laurels.

He has been teaching at The New England Center for Circus Arts (NECCA) since 2004, Mostly focused on developing manipulation skills in the Professional Track student program.
