About this listen

Enjoy the enthralling world of street performance, also known as busking. Packed with insights and inspiration for buskers, their fans, and people who are just curious about the many faces of street performance.

Covers musicians, circus routines (jugglers, fire dancers, tight-wire) and street theater (puppeteers, mime, cosplay, human statues).

Guitarists in the boisterous fish market of the Pacific Northwest; didgeridoo virtuosi on the Melbourne malls; classical quartets in the London Underground--there is no end to the variations. Ranging from Bach to the often zany Art of Noise covers, indigenous instruments few people ever heard of echo through the byways as clowns on unicycles dazzle the crowds and flames shoot from bagpipes.

Combining nuts-and-bolts information with a survey of the legal history of buskers' rights, this book is the Swiss Army knife of street performance. Any performer interested in taking their creative work to the public forum will find it indispensable. Those who enjoy engaging with street performers will also be intrigued by this insiders' view of the magnificent world of busking.

This author opens with a spotlight on the vital role buskers play upholding human freedom and creativity. The legal status of free speech rights throughout the English-speaking world are far from secure; there are constant legal battles affecting buskers.

Learn about improvisation, slackline, poi, juggling techniques, fire-spinning, puppet craft in a carnival of printed word. Illustrated, with bibliography and important legal information to assist buskers. Covers violinists, fiddlers, people who play mandolin,drums,didgeridoo, amplified and acoustic. Sections on musician's equipment: amplifiers, percussion, tambourines, loopers and wireless technology.Direction, production and stagecraft of street performance. Makes an excellent gift for any performer in your life!
