The IJA is overjoyed to announce that Viktor Kee has agreed to be the special guest at our 60th anniversary festival in 2007!
We have also lined up Yuri Pozdniakov to teach the special workshop. Yuri is the juggling instructor at the Ukraine Circus School and his workshop was so well received in Davenport that we are bringing him back with 2 of his students. In addition Viktor will join in the workshop for an hour each day to teach performance aesthetics.
The Benton Convention Center and The Stevens Center are both beautiful, modern, smoke-free facilities less than a block away from each other. We've got over 80,000 square feet of gym and workshop space with your choice of concrete or carpeted floors and ceiling heights of 25 feet through most of the building (as much as 40 feet in some places).
There are two hotels within a block from the facilities, a Marriott and an Embassy Suites, both recently refurbished from the ground up. The Embassy Suites will be offering rooms with full kitchens and both hotels will allow quad occupancy. We hope to have reservations open by early September of this year.
The entire location is conveniently situated in between an art district and a "restaurant row"... and yes, there is a Starbucks in the lobby of the Embassy Suites.
Personally I'm extremely excited about next year's festival already. With Sandy Brown as Assistant Director I feel very confident in saying that this will be the best 60th anniversary festival the IJA has ever had!
Hope to see you all there!
