About


Benjamin (St. Paul/Minneapolis) is a multi-disciplinary circus 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.

In the classroom, he facilitates learning not by focusing on a product but by inspiring students with a curious energy. He believes this will result in creating more curious humans. He is a COMPAS Teaching Artist.

Administratively, Benjamin listens and cultivates relationships within Non-Profit Arts Organizations and their communities. He currently works as the Activate Rural Program Coordinator with the Department of Public Transformation.

As a director and deviser, he collaborates to uncover the common thread of a project and invites everyone to bring forth their unique experiences and voices. He has had the honor to work with many orgs including The Fox and Beggar Theater,  Tigerlion Arts, and One Year Lease.
