Dubbed KCJFX in honor of our 10th year hosting the Kansas City Juggling Festival, 2018’s festival was a time to get nostalgic. We looked deep into the history of juggling and circus arts in the Kansas City area, asking attendees to help create a historical timeline of juggling in the region. In workshops, we learned how to make Green Clubs and finger propellers, as well as all about Practical Knottiness. Then in the Great Kansas City Circus Show, we blended Kansas City Juggling Culture Pioneers with other contemporary circus artists from around the country.
