Juggler. Teacher. Artist. Entrepreneur. You name it.
But if you want to call me, let’s say simply just: Ben. The. Goose. (spelled in hungarian: Bendegúz) :)

I’m a guy, who turned his jurnalist career to a much ancient circus, rather than media. I became a juggler. I use that as a therapy now. Even for myself, even I share it to others. It’s called “social circus”. I do these projects for Inspiral Circus Centre, my beloved workplace, and the Hungarian Juggling Association. I have experience in doing Blind Circus, Handicaped Circus, Down Circus, Minority Circus, Immigrant Circus.

I travel and use CS to show my flowersticks (ancient juggling prop) to people. Family friendly festivals, schools are the programs I’m looking for. The sooner the better.

I was 12 when I started juggling with yoyo and flowerstick. But I put it on a shelf after a couple of years, ‘couse I declared as a teenager, that it is childish. That’s how I became part of the rat race, I built up a career plan from my education and parental advise as a jurnalist. Than after some crazy stressful years, I realised, that the world opens for me, if I grab the beloved props, and I start juggling again. I started from almost zero as 25. Now, after 5 years, of practice and career building in the magical world of circus, I turned to 30, and I’m satisfied with my choice: I do what I love, as a profession.

I’m keen on spreading the joy of juggling, a successful way to experience a skill in you, what most of the people 100% sure, that they are incapable of. Breaking boundaries frees the soul.

Sounds crazy? Or bullshit? I even have much more to tell in the One Amazing Thing I’ve Done section:
