Workshops

The Workshops are a great opportunity to learn new things. Anyone who wants to can offer a workshop to pass on their knowledge and skills. Anyone who is interested can take part. Any juggling props you may need can be borrowed from the Jugglux stand.

Planned Workshops and whishlist

If you would like to offer a workshop, you can enter your details in the table above. Of course, you can still register your workshop spontaneously and only on site at the workshop wall near the infopoint.

In any case, please register again on site at the workshop wall at the convention and add the exact meeting point.

You can also add workshop requests. To do this, switch to the “Workshop requests” sheet at the bottom left. This can serve as a suggestion for workshop providers, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to find someone to offer a workshop for every request.

If you have any questions, feel free to use the contact form.

Spontaneous Open Stage: Showcase Your Tricks

Friday 30.08.2024 from 18:00 to 21:00

Welcome to the Open Stage! This is your chance to share your talent and skills with fellow jugglers, acrobats, and enthusiasts. Whether you have a cool trick, a captivating routine, or just want to perform something on the spot, this is the perfect platform for you.

The Open Stage is designed to be an open performance area, much like a street performance, where you can step up and show what you've got. No need to sign up in advance – simply seize the moment and dazzle the audience with your skills. It's all about celebrating the joy of juggling and acrobatics and the creativity of our community.

We also have a music box available, so you can play your music while you perform 🎶. This is a self-organized event without a host, where participants are encouraged to organize themselves and shape the proceedings.

Come along, take the stage, and let's create an unforgettable experience together! ✨

Juggling Games

The juggling games are one of the highlights and take place at almost every juggling convention. There are many ways to combine juggling with games for young and old, whether beginner or advanced.

A classic example is endurance where everyone starts juggling at the same time and whoever juggles the longest wins. Other classic games are for example 3 clubs limbo or diabolo toss.

There are cool prizes to win!
