Juggling Show
Gandini is a company set up to celebrate the art of juggling in all its facets. In the last decade they have performed 3000 shows in 40 countries and gained a reputation as one of the world’s most adventurous juggling groups. The company shares its time between performing, teaching and supplying jugglers for all kinds of events.
Gandini was set up in 1992 to explore juggling and dance and the areas into which each art form can lead the other. The Gandinis have grown from a small-scale experimental company to an umbrella organisation with all kinds of juggling events.
Along the way they have found a rare versatility, whether performing in shopping centres or art galleries, their juggling is imbued with the same joyous virtuosity.
Gandini is run in collaboration with a variety of jugglers and artists. Over the years they have had the pleasure of working with many of the worlds leading juggling performers. They currently have a core group of 4 jugglers which can expand if necessary up to 20.

We were hushed before beauty, gasping at slow amazing things that float and glow … The Gandinis made a calmer, better place of the South Bank. Magical, simply magical…
Tales from the South Bank (2009)
“We are delighted to have had the chance to work with such an imaginative, cooperative and progressive company.
London National Theatre
“In short, it was a triumph. There was a fantastic response to the whole event . . . There were gasps and several rounds of applause during the two-and-half minutes”
– Private Client
“Thank you so much for your professionalism and understanding at Friday’s Wanstead Fireworks event … we did manage to cobble a programme together and this was purely down to the co-operation, flexibility and understanding of the performers … I am sure we will get to work together again in future, hopefully drier events! Very best wishes to you all.”
