A uniquely professional human being.
Benjamin (St. Paul/Minneapolis) is a multi-disciplinary artist focused on live performance’s ability to bring people together and to create memories.
He combines his juggler, clown, mime, and musician on-stage into works audiences connect with on an emotional level. He collaborates regularly with Thom Wall.
