Nikki Henson - Coordinator JPTZ
Nikki has been involved with the JPTZ at Luminate Festival since it began:
This is her fourth year co-ordinating the zone and she is quite frankly gobsmacked, delighted and VERY excited at the smorgasboard of talent that's come to play on the crystal mountain this year!
As owner of Jugglers Rest Backpackers in Picton she is privileged to have met, played, learned from and accommodated skilled jugglers and object manipulators from all over the world & NZ, many of whom have gone onto perform and teach at Luminate as JPTZ crew.
Nikki has been teaching & performing with poi for more 8 years and also enjoys playing with fans, hoop and stilts. She will be teaching kids poi workshops and a fan workshop with Rohanna and Emma.
