YoYo Related News From Around The World
Cirque du Soleil has kicked off the North American tour of its “Kurios” show, featuring yoyo player Tomonari “Tom Black” Ishiguro! The show got a nice bit of press for opening night from The Torontoist, and apparently Black’s yoyo routine is somewhere around 10 MINUTES. Crazy!
Click through for the full article…congrats again to Black for realizing his life-long ambition of performing with Cirque du Soleil!
1A and AP World Champion Tomonari “BLACK” Ishiguro finally had his dream come true as he performed as one of the acts at Cirque du Soleil’s travelling show Kurios on August 12th.
BLACK left his highly successful yo-yo competition career to focus on performing several years ago, managing to impress the Cirque during an audition in 2009. More recently, BLACK gave a very inspirational TED talk, and even performed with the Cirque at a closed event.
Now his act is part of Kurios and it’s really exciting to see yoyoing get this much visibility with the world’s most prestigious troupe!
Kurios will be in Quebec until later this month, and will tour through Toronto, San Francisco, and Seattle this year! Be sure to check it out!
