That's A Wrap!

Madskillz 10 / Van Jam 6 is over. Thanks for a great year.

Again, Only Better

August 16 - 17, 2019

Roundhouse Community Centre

Vancouver, BC, Canada

Are you ready for the biggest jam yet? This year we've teamed up with Madskillz Festival , who will be celebrating their 10th year of hosting juggling and flow events in Vancouver. Together, we're expecting this year to be the biggest and best yet, as kendama players, jugglers, hoopers, and flow artists of all sorts will come together under one roof, to celebrate the community and skills that we all love.





Van Jam 6

For the past five years, kendama players have converged on Vancouver, to join us for our yearly Van Jam event. This year, we're expecting more players than ever, likely making Van Jam 6 the biggest kendama event in N America this summer. With a focus on fun and friends instead of stages and spotlights, our goal is to bring players from all across the world together in a relaxed environment, where new players can sesh alongside the pros, and everyone leaves with a smile on their face.

MadSkillz 10

This year is a big one, the tenth anniversary! MadSkillz is an annual festival featuring workshops and performances by hoopers, jugglers, flow dancers, prop manipulators, clowns, and ground-level circus artists. Participants and performers range from BC locals to international guests, and hourly workshops include beginner classes as well as sessions geared towards building intermediate and advanced skills or choreography.

The Venue

The festival will take place on Aug 16 & 17 at the beautiful Roundhouse Community Centre in Vancouver's Yaletown neighbourhood. The Roundhouse's Exhibition Hall features a huge indoor space with high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, which open out onto an urban square outside, so we'll have plenty of space for the whole squad. Located in the downtown core, the Roundhouse is close to tons of good food, public transit, and Vancouver's False Creek/Sea Wall - an iconic waterfront boardwalk - perfect for hanging out, jamming, and filming.
