#Melbourne #Juggling Convention 2010: Call out!

This is the 4th year of the Melbourne Juggling Convention, which brings with it an innovative new structure integrating workshops, forums and shows to form the  MJC 2010 Act Devising Program

The essence of this year’s convention is performance art, where we wish to empower convention participants in creating a performance within the depths of juggling, object manipulation and circus arts. The Act Devising Program, free to anyone attending the convention, is designed to assist people with a passion for performance, inviting them to create and ultimately showcase their new piece of work on the dedicated ‘works-in-progress’ Creative Edge show.

‘Clown’, ‘comedy’, ‘voice’ and ‘improvisation’ are a small number of the specialisation areas showcasing as part of the act devising program, bringing in leading practitioners in their field to facilitate them. In addition to our 5 headlining guests, another 15+ Melbourne-based guest artists have been invited to help run the forums and workshops as part of this program. Places are limited and already filling up, any person interested in taking part in the Act Devising Program is urged to go to the convention website to register their expression of interest.
