Theatre Street: The Reminiscences of Tamara Karsavina

Product Information

Interactive street theatre is a combination of two separate art forms, street theatre and interactive art. They often incorporate humor, music, and audience participation to create a dynamic and engaging experience for the audience. Campbell, Patricia J. (1981), Passing the hat: Street performers in America, New York: Delacorte Press, ISBN 978-0-385-28773-9, OCLC 7461199 — Discusses buskers in a number of cities, focusing on their reasons for street performing; the dedication, skill, and discipline required to develop an act; and unpleasantries with hasslers and the law. It is about the only place in the city of London that has space for large-scale, circus-style acts and, as much as I hate to use the word brand, it is a brand recognised around the world for street performance. Samuel Pepys wrote in his diary in 1662 that he had watched a Punch puppet show in Covent Garden.”

She began busking as a child, when she and her father would perform as a father-daughter duo at roadhouses and taverns, as well as hotels and bars. She used to perform live in coffee cafes when she was in school in Michigan. She spent some time after graduation living in her van and travelling throughout the country, busking and doing tiny gigs. George MichaelThe singer/songwriter and grammy winner acoustic performer started singing publicly in her local square near the University of Tufts in which she was attending. She was planning on working with animals and finishing her degree which wasn’t in music. She often busked near her dorms and classes she attended (while at school). Her Teacher helped by her a new guitar. She was later discovered by a classmate who’s father was the head of SBK Publishing and loved her work. Jewel Street performers or Buskers take on a range of personas and perform to an audience in an outside area. Some interactive art installations allow visitors to walk in, on, and around them, or allow them to play with the object of the installations. Another way interactive theatre is done is that spectators themselves become part of the artwork. There are also types of interactive street theatre where that spectator becomes an active part of the show and works together with the artist to create a magnificent collective art piece. Many companies are politically motivated and use street theatre to combine performance with protest. This has occurred through the guerrilla theatre of San Francisco Mime Troupe, [5] The Living Theatre, the carnivalesque parades of Bread and Puppet Theatre, and the work of Ashesh Malla and the Sarwanam Theatre Group of Nepal. The south-facing courtyard garden can be accessed from both the cottage and from the shingled driveway via a metal gate, providing a quaint and private section of outside space.

Some contemporary street theatre practitioners have extensively studied pre-existing street and popular theatre traditions, such as Carnival, commedia dell'arte etc. and wish to present them in a situation close to their original context. But of course, in some particular instances there are those who find themselves in the middle of busker’s performances without knowing it. They are the most hilarious to watch, especially when you are watching. These performers rehearse their shows to a tee and often repeat these performances in festivals and or carnivals, in different locations, place to place and often from country to country.

More often than not the audience is treated to great entertainment, but also can wittingly and unwittingly become part of their show. Whether you’re an actor, artist, or activist, street theater provides a powerful platform for expressing your views and engaging with the community.
