The National Circus Festival of Ireland is my favourite time of year. I had a great time teaching in the wonderful Siamsa Tire theatre - we even had a few repeat customers from the workshops at the festival last year!

I was lucky enough to become the personification of disco in the parade at the National Circus Festival of Ireland this weekend!

What a lovely weekend at FuddleFest! Such a beautiful setting to teach in, surrounded by art and music, sharing tricks with children and adults of all ages!

Juggler Brendan made an unexpected appearance last week at the open mic night of the John Hewitt Society International Summer School in Armagh! John Hewitt argued that there are always multiple aspects to our identities. In that spirit, I fused Juggler Brendan and Writer Brendan together live on stage! Huge thanks to all involved in a fantastic festival.

Huge congratulations to the cast and crew of 'Seedlings', an original youth opera project from Music Generation Wexford! I had the pleasure of running a workshop day with the group in the early stages of the project last year. It was incredible to see what they've created, live and on stage at the National Opera House last night. A huge achievement and a fantastic show!

Aren't we all just "senior" "infants", if you think about it? Kind of? Maybe? Anyway, I had a great time teaching today at the Edenderry School Completion Programme summer camp in County Offaly!

Today was my last day of the school year! I was back in Adamstown NS, the school where I taught my very first workshop as Juggler Brendan. Check out the photo from today, and the one from back then. If you look closely, you can see that I had only a few borrowed beanbags to work with (my equipment hadn't arrived yet), and I was equal parts excited and terrified (it's all in the eyes).

It was lovely to be back today in the school that trusted me first, to share all the skills and tricks I've learned since. Juggler Brendan has come a long way.

Thank you to all at Adamstown NS!
