There are several forms of Street Show ; for example, mime, clowning, juggling, acrobatics, balloon modeling, contortions and escapes, fire eating, sword swallowing, puppeteering etc. Street Performance can be the bottom rung of entertainment. Therefore; street performance in each city represents its own cultural heritage.
There will be 2 forms in this Street Performance: Spot Performance which performers show in a fixed location, and the other is the Walk-Act which performers continuously move around the area. Each group of performers will rotate to perform the show on different stages according to scheduled programs so that the audience are available to see whatever they wish. Each live performances will have 20-25 minutes per show (however; there are some groups that may take 45 minutes for each show). Each show will take limited space as the common street show so the crowd can circle around or just sit down with their family members to see the show. We also create “Special Show” event for contributing of career artists or even notable new faces. |
