          Daniel Rosen was featured on the Jan. 20 Fox network show,
          "Comic Strip Live." He did a three snowball routine followed
          by "blindfolded" cleaver juggling. Ron Pearson of Los
          Angeles appears in Fox network "Comedy Express" reruns doing
          three clubs, including Albert throws, Treblas and a three club
          pirouette. He finishes by balancing a chair on his chin, then juggling
          the clubs. (reprinted from Two-Ply Press)

          Edward Jackman is off the college circuit and doing corporate
          shows all over the country. While at home in Los Angeles, he's
          enjoying the challenge of juggling five onepound Exerballs. He said,
          "I do them out in the park and people see me and think, 'Why is
          he struggling so hard?'" And though he claims to hate exercise,
          he is building a strong body several ways by juggling three 2-1/2
          pound Exerballs while simultaneously working his legs on a stairmaster
          machine. He said, 'Juggling is interesting enough with heavy balls.
          Even after 15 years of juggling it's kinda cool!"

          Kris Kremo, who will be the guest artist at the IJA convention
          this summer, is now performing at the Lido night club in Paris.

          Soviet dentist Michail Staroselelsky writes that in 16 years of
          amateur juggling he has learned seven balls, six clubs, and a
          combination trick with two rings, two soccer balls and a tennis
          racket. He is now working on bounce juggling up to five balls off of a
          tennis racket held in one hand. He would also like to organize an
          All-Union Jugglers Association in
          the Soviet Union to work with other juggling associations. *

          1989 IJA Champion Cindy Marvell is working on a dance theatre
          juggling piece for presentation in New York City in June. Marvell,
          choreographer Howard Fireheart and Toby Green will
          juggle and dance in the production, accompanied by four other dancers.
          It will be presented during the last two weekends of the month at the
          Rapp Art Center in Greenwich Village. Her summer's work also includes
          return engagements at the New York Renaissance Fair and the Lincoln
          Center Out of Doors Festival. 
 Earlier
          in the year Marvell spent six weeks performing for Chandris Fantasy
          Cruises in the Caribbean. It was her first time juggling
          on a cruise ship, and she enjoyed learning how to juggle with an
          8-foot ceiling on a slanted stage that rocks unpredictably."
          Another interesting performance was opening up for a band led by the
          Grateful Dead's Bob Weir. That show took place at the Ritz in New York
          City.

          After a few months of "much-needed vacation," Kezia
          Tenenbaum reports that Airjazz is back on a very busy schedule,
          particularly with international appearances. From March 5-25,
          Airjazz performed its theatre show at the New Zealand International
          Festival of the Arts. Fred Garbo and Johnny Fox also
          performed at the Festival. But that was not the limit of their
          globetrotting. On the way to New Zealand, the group stopped off in
          Hawaii for a week of shows, and as soon as they returned from down
          under, they were off to England. 
 In
          the U.K., Airjazz performed on ventriloquist Ronn Lucas' television
          show. Among their state-side appearances in the near future, the trio
          will perform at the Pittsburgh International Children's Festival May
          9-13. Airjazz will be the only American act on the bill.
