Noah Mickens
 

Part carnie-folk, musician/vocalist, magician, a scrap metal percussionist, a butoh dancer, a songwriter, an actor, a singer and a publicist, Noah Mickens started his first band when he was 13, learned to juggle when he was 14, founded his first regular event series at 26, directed his first performance at 27, opened his first venue at 32, and went independent with Nick the Creature as Wanderlust Entertainment at 33.

 

Bekka Rose

Bekka Rose was first introduced to juggling when her parents enrolled her in Cirkids, a Vancouver based circus for kids, at age 7. Juggling soon became her passion, and this passion lead her to numerous juggling festivals and workshops throughout Europe and North America. In Europe, she studied under the renowned Russian juggler Sergei Ignatov at the Jonglierkatakomben in Berlin, and with Jay Gilligan (USA) and Luke Wilson (UK) at Cirkus Cirkor, the circus school in Stockholm. Inspiration from this wide variety of techniques lead her to her own poignantly poetic style of juggling and movement.

 

Revolva

Revolva is an urban dervish, a whirling mistress of disguise, and the most graceful, theatric variety act that will ever blow your mind. For nearly a decade, she has traveled the globe, hula hooping, delivering award-winning fire performance, creating characters and evoking standing ovations.

The Brad Weston Experience is a fast paced theatrical thrill ride through juggling, escape artistry, balancing, lasso spinning and visual effects.
