Circus of Smiles Presents: Gravity Defying Juggling
Join Andrew Quick and Mr. Mustache on a comical circus adventure. These incredible performers defy the very laws of nature as they juggle, flip, compete for your attention, transform into a variety of characters, and make some unbelievable catches. This action-packed romp into a world of silliness and wonder will leave you in stitches. You’ll walk away thinking “is there anything they can’t juggle!?”
This performance is great for all ages. Free! No registration required.

About the instructor: “Hi! My name is Sean Taylor and I travel the world as a winemaker, chocolate maker, and fermentation specialist. I teach workshops and bring people together to explore the art and science of chocolate making and fermentation. Fermentation has brought me all over the world, from solo hitchhiking through Southern Africa, to bicycling through the Cordilleras Blancas mountains of Peru, to chocolate making in the jungles of Costa Rica. Through these culinary creations my goal is to engage my community in healthy living, food sustainability, and community building. I call San Rafael home.”

Whether you’ve experimented with virtual reality systems or not, here is your chance to try out one of our many games.

You have the option of signing-up to use the Vive, or Oculus Go virtual reality systems. Which should you choose?
The Oculus Go may be a good choice for those who haven’t experienced VR before and want a simple, fun first experience. With the Go you’ll be able to turn your head to see 360-degrees around you, but walking towards something will not bring you any closer to it. In contrast, with the Vive you are able to explore the full digital space that you see. However, it may take you a little bit longer to become comfortable using the Vive system.
