Most festivals attract jugglers who have already spent several years in disciplined practice.
It's not an environment for every juggler, but for those who want to see the future it may serve as a crystal ball. It's Friday, a school day. Physical educators throughout the Winnipeg area are invited to bring up to 20 students each for a full day of workshops, contests and juggling games. Many physical education and classroom teachers have been at the previous two Winnipeg festivals, have started programs in their own schools and are returning to show of their proteges. At any moment 100 scarves and hundreds of beanbags fill the air.
