“Rollercoaster” is a one-hour solo show by Wes Peden that uses ultra-modern, pop-punk juggling to talk about finding the balance between freedom and security<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Surrounded by huge inflatable blue structures and accompanied by electro beats composed of distorted rollercoaster sounds, Peden performs original tricks inspired by rollercoasters and their high-tech seatbelts. A spinning plate ceremony becomes a celebration of the great rides of the past; an epic 3 ball disco juggling evokes the evolution of rollercoasters; a 4-meter transparent tube turns into a path around Wes\u2019 body to make balls flow through loops, helixes, and corkscrews. Rollercoaster twists the stage rules to create a safe space to perform some of the most difficult and unique juggling ever done on stage!<\/p>\n

About the show<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wes Peden: “Rollercoasters are the inspiration for both the juggling material that was made for the show as well as the choreographic ideas and theatrical framings that are used. SinceI was a kid, I have felt a connection between creating juggling tricks and rollercoaster design as they both use gravity and momentum to make intricate pathways through the air.<\/p>\n
