“Juggling is a conversation with the stick, the body, the brain.
— Michael Moschen

A hallmark of Wolfe’s shows, juggling seems happens to happen spontanenously, and nearly always with joy. Objects find their ways into his hands and Wolfe is off exploring the rules of gravitational fields, inventing new rhythms in his elegant manipulation of objects. Objects appear, disappear and most importantly tell a story.

Interview with Juggler Joel Salom

In this segment, Wolfe interviews world-touring juggler and comedian, Joel Salom. Joel traveled with Circus Oz as Ring Master, while also gracing the flying trapeze and as juggler, clown, and acrobat. His juggling triggered music are fascinating and he is the inventor of Chuka Chuks percussion balls. Did we mention his robotic dog got the Golden Buzzer on Australia's Got Talent?

Juggling comes from a long tradition of entertainment, with some of the first evidence of juggling found depicted in an an ancient tomb in Egypt dated to the middle kingdom (1994-1781 B.C.). References to juggling are also found in ancient writings from China, Ireland and Ancient Rome.
