In an effort to redefine people's preconceptions
about juggling, Greg Kennedy fuses logic and creativity to synthesize
new forms of juggling manipulation. In the early 1990's, Greg spent several
years working as a professional engineer, in addition to his juggling
career. His fascination with the geometry and physics of object manipulation
lead him to ground-breaking work with original apparatus, expanding the
realm of juggling. "He is a visionary who can see the possibilities
in props and movement that are obscure to the masses," writes Bill
Giduz, Jugglers World magazine.
Greg Kennedy presently balances his performing career with a pursuit
of juggling innovation, experimenting with new shapes and surfaces as
well
as traditional
skills.
Greg has performed in theaters, resorts, nightclubs,
casinos and on cruise ships. His show has amazed audiences on five
different continents and most of the world's seas.
His work has been featured in esteemed productions, such as the Washington
Opera’s Pagliacci, Luma: Theater of Light, and Saccade.
Greg Kennedy is often hired to create a powerful spectacle for company
presentations, launches, and celebrations. He has delighted corporate
clients including
Sony, AOL, Cisco, Sunoco, and countless others.
Media credits: multiple television appearances including The Tonight
Show with Jay Leno, cover and feature articles in Jugglers World magazine
and Juggle magazine, and special recognition in the book 4000 Years of
Juggling, the Art and its Artists.
Shows
Greg's comedy resort show is a combination of high-energy juggling, clean
comedy, and unique performance pieces. For 45 minutes from beginning to
end it amazes audiences everywhere, mixing impressive feats, rapid-paced
wit, and the pure beauty of motion.
"Spherus" is a non-verbal production show designed for theatrical
venues. It features the technical precision of International Juggling
Champion Greg Kennedy, complemented by aerial dancers Jennifer Dally & Jill
Maio. The trio fills the stage with mesmerizing imagery, astounding your
audience.
"Kinetics" is an educational show based on physics for students
of all ages. It illustrates the principles of motion, light, energy and
gravity (of course).
For corporate events and revue shows, Greg Kennedy offers shorter segments,
which can include pieces from his main show and/or his other original
routines. He can work with the producers to select the best combinations
or even custom-design a performance for a particular event.
Awards
Twice Greg Kennedy has entered the highest-level juggling competition,
the International Jugglers Association Championships. On both occasions
he received their highest honor, the Gold Medal.
In 1996, his original presentation of "Hemisphere" won him
first place in the Individuals competition, taking Gold and the coveted
Lucas Cup. In 2002, he returned, combining efforts with partner Chris
Ivey, and as the duo "Saccade" won Gold again in the Teams
competition.
Greg continues to receive praise and recognition from his peers for
his original contributions, broadening the fields of juggling and performance
art.
