Example text

This is followed by the first act with ‘Monsieur’: they sing and play ‘How Much Is that Doggy in the Window’ and the dog barks on cue, or at least is supposed to, but either way the laughs come.

Roland Miller started performing in 1964, Jeff Nuttall and the People Show had their first performance in 1966 and John Fox organised the first performance of Welfare State in 1968. In 1969 the Bath Arts Workshop, which was a forerunner of the Natural Theatre Company, was formed by Phil Shepherd and Ric Knapp. Other pioneers of what became known in Britain as Performance Art were Neil Hornick and the Phantom Captain, Ian Hinchcliffe, Rob Conn, Mick Banks and John Bull Puncture Repair Kit.

Most performers find it quite hard to articulate why they got into it in the first place. If you ask buskers why they are working in this way the first thing they will say is because of the money. Even though money is often a main motivation, performers cannot live by bread alone. They must receive some pleasure in what they are doing, otherwise the performance will quickly become mechanical and dispirited; when that happens they will not earn much because it is the fullness of spirit that audiences appreciate and are willing to dig deep in their pockets for.
