If you should stop by there and Graham is in the shop tell him Ken says Hi
please! Graham (who opened the shop) used to be with FireNoise, used to be a
computer consultant runnning a small software company down here, very
respectable but with a definite interest in weird things. It's good to know
that someone can dump a respectable and profitable job plus mortgage to be of
service to other jugglers. Making all those other computer bods out there
think?

Someone from Nova Scotia posted asking about circus schools. In the UK there is
Fool Time which runs small workshops, termly and yearly courses in circus
skills including mime, acrobatics, trapeze and juggling. Their juggling and
manipulation teacher is Haggis MaCleod (sp?). hey have just moved to new much
larger premises and hope to incorporate with a local university to supply a
degree course soon.

Circus Space is in London and offers courses and workshops. Oftne weekend and
day courses with outside teachers, occasional 6 week courses. Their an-Mar
timetable was posted here recently.

There are other courses and workshops as well as all the festivals here, but
nothing so formal as the French or Russian circus schoools (yet).

cheers
