THE JUGGLER’S PATH

Meet Your Coach Anthony – From Introverted Chemistry Student to Street Performer to Artist-Mentor

In 1996, fresh out of a Chemistry degree, I left the UK with no clear plan. What I found was a calling.

I hit the streets and performed relentlessly—800+ street and stage shows over the next decade. The street was my greatest teacher: brutal, honest, and exhilarating. But while it taught me resilience and improvisation, something was missing.

After reading The Zen of Juggling, I became obsessed with not just juggling but teaching it. I wanted to go beyond tricks—I wanted to understand its deeper potential. This led me on a three-year deep dive at the Dimitri School in Switzerland, where I immersed myself in theater, movement, and play. But even after that, I struggled to make it as a full-time pro.

I had the skills. I had the training.
What I didn’t have was the knowledge to
turn my passion into a thriving career.

“That realisation sent me on a new journey—not just to master my own craft, but to help other jugglers avoid the same pitfalls. Since 2020, I’ve been on a mission to bridge the gap between artistry and business, helping jugglers not just hone their skills, but communicate their value to the world.”

Too many talented jugglers are just getting by, feeling lost in a sea of styles that don’t quite fit them. The key to thriving isn’t just about more training—it starts with Artistic Identity. Who are you as a performer? What makes you memorable? How do you create work that truly reflects you?

And then, of course, there’s the juggling off stage—marketing, booking gigs, building a sustainable career. Many jugglers try to do everything themselves, spreading their energy too thin. But with the right focus, we can free up time for what truly matters: performing, creating, and playing… and getting paid to do it.

That’s what I help jugglers do—refine their artistry, discover their unique voice, and build a career they love.
