Gandini Jugglers at National Theatre this week


London based Gandini Juggling are, in the eyes of many, the greatest juggling company in the world at the moment. They're just back from a mega tour of France and Italy, and I urge you to see them from Tuesday to Sunday at the National Theatre in the free Watch This Space outdoor series.

They're doing an amazing range of shows in the week, including a new one Twenty/Twenty with no fewer than 20 professional jugglers. Something you may never get the chance to see again! I'd really recommend also seeing their 'The Sweet Life' and 'Smashed' shows.

Not only are Gandini Juggling performing, but members of the company are showing their own work, which again are totally worth seeing. I'll name check the German duo 'Spot the Drop' as another must-see.

Not only is there the chance to watch the maestros at work, there's the chance to learn from them as they're running a free juggling workshop each day too, with limited spaces so I suggest you book online
