Thom Wall is a consecutive two-time world champion three ball juggler, silver medal winner at the International Jugglers’ Association 2012 Senior Stage Competitions, and a fixture on Luke Burrage’s annual “Top 40 Jugglers of the Year” list online.

His organic style has been cultivated through training with renowned juggler Stefan Sing, intense modern dance study with Donlin Marsh of the Martha Graham Dance Company, as well as acrobatic and theatrical training with Ringling Brothers’ Clown College graduates at the New England Center for Circus Arts in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Thom has always known that he would spend his life in the circus. He fell in love with juggling at a young age, delighted by performers on streets and stages across the country — an opportunity afforded to him by his parents as they moved the family coast to coast through his childhood. Thom was inspired by variety artists’ ability to convey stories and emotion through creative feats of daring and bravado. Since these early impressions, he has tirelessly refined his craft.

After graduating from Washington University in Saint Louis with a BA in Germanic Languages, Thom was hired by the Hellzapoppin Sideshow Revue to juggle knives onstage at rock ‘n roll concerts. Shortly thereafter, he was picked up by the Boulder Ballet Company to perform in a non-traditional production of “The Nutcracker” which featured acrobatic, juggling, and equilibristic routines. There, he helped choreograph and perform a fast-paced club passing routine to the Russian Suite, alongside juggling greats Peter Davison (of Airjazz fame) and Cindy Marvell (from Lazer Vaudeville). Thom has performed over one-thousand shows since graduating from university, inspiring audiences with his unique blend of theatricality, dance, and juggling technique.

Today, Thom can be found performing at venues all across North America, for clients such as The Boeing Company, the United States National Guard, the YMCA, SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, and Aveda. Most recently, Thom collaborates with Curtis Carlyle in a cutting-edge comedy juggling show entitled “The Hopeless Throwmantics” — A highbrow/lowbrow Vaudeville duet that features technical egg juggling, a tiny drum kit, and jokes about giraffes with only three legs.

Original and very technical. Makes us all think what we missed out on, following rules and teaching standards.
