ABOUT BEN
From around the age of 4 Ben has wanted to be a performer. Loving comedy and cartoons,impressionists, Laurel and Hardy, Buster Keaton. He tolerated the education system until at last he ended up with a Theatre Degree from Dartington College of Arts.
It was here that he learnt to juggle and realised that this skill was the perfect medium for the sort of performance he enjoyed. From street performing to fairs,fetes, festivals, theatres, community centres,Theme Parks, Holiday Camps, Big Tops, village halls and yes! The Pyramid stage at the Glastonbury Festival. Bens extensive experience has made him very adaptable to the environment and the occasion.
Alongside the performance work he has taken hundreds of Circus Skill workshops from Corporate days , scout camps, schools, colleges and a long term part of the Circus Skills teaching team in the Circus field at the Glastonbury Festival.
Ben is also a sought after compere at juggling festivals where he also runs performance workshops as well as technical juggling classes. He has also had the pleasure of being the organiser behind the family area at the Exmouth festival for the last 7 years, booking acts, running workshops and performing his double act with touring partner Steve Eldridge as Circus Berzercus.
