The workshop will consist of three complimentary sections. First, a demonstration performance of a busking setup and puppet show. Second, there will be an explanation of strategies for the setup, ways to draw/keep a crowd and unique ways on how to get paid. Third, a question and answer period in which participants will guide the topic of discussion.
