meSSeS feature precarious unicycling, shimmering puppetry, jaw-dropping juggling, mesmerizing motions, meticulously prepared hot beverages … Janoah tosses together art forms to tell a tale of learning & labor, emerging ecstatically from a haphazard pile of props. Part performance, part workshop, entirely entertaining ... Janoah juggles several tasks simultaneously: performing & teaching! During this (optionally interactive) show YOU learn to juggle while you watch. In between acts, Janoah engagingly guides the audience through the essentials: throwing, catching and messy-ing up!
