About this Event

Presenting this 1 hour long spectacle of juggling and its origins, Thom Wall is an American juggler who specializes in juggling disciplines from the past.

After completing a five-year tour juggling for Cirque du Soleil's Totem (2014-2019), Wall now resides in Philadelphia where he researches circus history, consults for nonprofits, and coaches juggling and performance at Circadium: School of Contemporary Circus.

When not at home, he’s performing his solo show On the Topic of Juggling on cruise ships and stages around the world. Thom was awarded La Medalla Crotalus Scholaris by the Mesoamerican University in Puebla (2014), Mexico for his work revitalizing forgotten juggling disciplines. Thom is the founder of Modern Vaudeville Press (2018), an independent publishing company which produces academic titles about the circus arts - which you can catch at the Richmond Fringe Art Market on Sunday!
