About the Coach

Zeb Galipeau has been performing since the early age of 8. After being talked into playing multiple roles in school productions, he decided two things—that performing was inevitable, and that it might actually be enjoyable. It was as this point that he attended and graduated NECCA’s 2010 Professional Performance Training Program, with a major in German Wheel and a minor Partner Acrobatics.

He can occasionally be witnessed juggling or meddling in magical tomfoolery on the side, and is a certified German Wheel instructor.
