Talk: How to Entertain a Juggler
This is a presentation I seem to give every couple years. It can be 30 minutes to an hour depending on the venue, and if there is a hands on juggling lesson at the end. In 2015 I went to see a friend do a presentation at Nerd Nite East Bay about Native Bees. There were some other interesting talks and one was about competitive dodgeball leagues. The audience was very entertained with the idea that a kids playground game would be turned so seriously by adults. I had been going to juggling festivals most of my life at this point and while watching the dodgeball talk, I thought this is pretty tame compared to full contact combat juggling competitions. And combat is only one of dozens of other events one may find at a juggling festival. So I started working on my own talk. But since combat is not really my jam, I focus on showing all the fun things jugglers like to do when they get together and are not focused on entertaining non-jugglers. And there is a LOT.
