This role requires creativity, confidence, and the ability to adapt to various environments and audience types.
Street Performers play a vital role in enriching the cultural fabric of cities and communities. You will be responsible for setting up your performance area, managing your equipment, and ensuring that your act complies with local laws and regulations.

You will need to be aware of safety considerations for both yourself and your audience, and be prepared to perform in various weather conditions.
