Concept
The Elemental Pavilion is a modular architectural structure designed as both a performance space and interactive public art installation.
Combining contemporary juggling, illuminated props, projection, and sculptural architecture, the pavilion becomes a space where audiences can experience patterns of motion, rhythm, and the forces of nature through movement and light.
The project can function as a theater production, festival installation, trade show exhibit, outdoor film screening structure, or interactive discovery space.
After more than 35 years performing and touring as a professional juggler, this project represents an evolution from stage performance into architectural space, sculpture, and public interaction. The Elemental Pavilion explores juggling not only as performance, but as a way to visualize motion, rhythm, geometry, and natural forces in physical space. The long-term vision is to develop touring pavilion installations that appear at festivals, performing arts centers, public art events, and educational environments.
This project is supported in part by the Maine Arts Commission, which receives support in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
Corporate partners may be featured through:
Pavilion signage and branding integration
Sponsored performances or public exhibits
Trade show and conference installations
Media and video content collaborations
Educational and community outreach programs
This project sits at the intersection of art, architecture, performance, engineering, and public engagement, offering unique visibility opportunities in both cultural and corporate environments.
If your organization is interested in supporting innovative public art and performance experiences, we would welcome a conversation.

Now Under Development
What I am developing is a mobile structural pavilion system that has multiple applications for different types of events. The system can be scaled as needed. The basic parts are made of 4×4 beams, planks, connecting hardware, high resolution media display and public address system.
