What You Can Learn from Street Performers

How do you captivate an audience when they’re on their way to somewhere else? For this week’s episode listen as Holly spends the day at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf and talks with two street performers: Adam White, the M.C. of Bay Area Breakerz, break-dancing crew; and  Jonathan Strange, an award winning magician. Find out what it takes to gather a crowd, keep them entertained, and get them to pay when the show’s already over! You’ll also hear Holly’s own story of busking in her early days and get inspiration and tips for taking your own work into public spaces for this month’s #PACLchallenge.
