Youth Theatre Series presents Science Circus | Chehalem Cultural Center

Science Circus combines Newtonian physics with a delightful mix of comedy and circus arts. This entertaining and educational show teaches students about gravity through bowling ball juggling, gyroscopic stability with glass bowl spinning, centripetal force using cowboy lariats, center of balance on a tall unicycle, and inertia with the classic tablecloth pull. Adding an irresistible force of levity, Science Circus captivates audiences of all ages.

Creator of the Science Circus, he teaches Newtonian physics through entertaining acts like bowling ball juggling, glass bowl spinning, lariats and unicycling. Rhys, who humorously claims an M.F.A. (Master of Frivolous Arts), has dazzled audiences at museums, schools, and festivals in 34 countries. Recognized as Best American Act in Japan’s World Cup Street Performer Competition and honored with an Oregon Arts Fellowship and a Smithsonian Artist in Residence, Rhys’s greatest joy is his family.
