Jay Gilligan: Juggling as Abstract Art

One of our goals at 69 Atlantic is to expand the public perception of what sleight of hand can mean by presenting a variety of magical entertainment. In that spirit, we've invited avant-garde visual artist, Jay Gilligan to Brooklyn to present his mind-blowing show "Stories About Gravity."

Jay is a creative hero to many in the variety arts. His work is experimental, thought-provoking and usually, enormous. When he visited us, he squeezed his one-man spectacular into a 26-seat theatre. Imagine Blue Man Group in a bathroom stall.

Jay is a renowned innovator in the world of circus. For 19 years, he was the head of the juggling program at the Dans och Cirkushögskolan in Stockholm, Sweden and he has been a guest instructor at every major circus school in the world. His ideas on the subject are truly revolutionary. For those who think of juggling as nothing more than throwing and catching things you are in for a spectacular surprise. This is unlike any demonstration of dexterity and reflex you have ever seen.
