Welcome Show

Wyatt creates juggling inspired by discontinued snack foods from the early 2000’s and the inside decor of a retro Taco Bell. A blend of style that’s bold, playful, and slightyly unpredictable – quick hands, sharp timing, and a grin that says he’s about to try something unnecessary. It’s confident chaos on purpose.

Middle school history teacher Gideon Elson has been juggling for over 20 years. He specializes in the “temoto” style: intricate 3 and 4 ball patterns that stay close to the hands and body. He enjoys creating new patterns and playing with the rhythm and musicality of ball juggling. He won a bronze medal at the 2024 IJA stage juggling championships, and was voted the #22 juggler of 2025 by the worldwide juggling community!

Mo Helton is a circus performer and coach based in Seattle, WA. She grew up performing aerial, clowning, group acrobatics, and juggling with SANCA’s youth performance companies. She always considered herself an aerialist until one of her coaches introduced her to hat juggling when she was 13. Mo works to combine her love of movement with juggling and to share that joy with her audience. When not on stage, Mo is getting her feet wet studying marine biology and oceanography at the University of Washington.

Scott Raison is an award-winning circus artist known for his versatility, bold stage presence, and comedic character work. In 2026, he became the first-ever graduate of l’École Nationale de Cirque to specialize in foot juggling. His recent performance highlights include Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain, Montréal Complètement Cirque, Turbo Juggling Festival, and Circus Smirkus. An accomplished solo and ensemble artist, Scott is inspired by the grit and spectacle of traditional circus alongside the vulnerability of its evolving contemporary form.

Rolling in from the Motor City, our next performer is here to prove that object manipulation is way groovier on eight wheels. Her blend of rhythm skating and trick roping turns into a beautiful display of ‘how is she not tangling herself? For a crowd that appreciates ridiculous faces, smooth grooves, and dynamic prop control, put your hands together for the midwest spectacle… Tumbleweed!
