I will be investigating the lives of street performers (or "buskers")
in Europe and Australia. The project has three elements: performance,
interviews, and a multimedia project. I will perform my original folk
compositions, singing and playing the guitar. I will interview street
performers I meet to learn more about their lifestyles and histories.
To report on the project I will produce a multimedia project in the form
of a scrapbook or album. It will include photographs, interview clips,
writings about my experiences and encounters, and songs (or lyrics) I
write influenced by the project. I will be living in Cambridge,
Melbourne, Dusseldorf, and Bordeaux. I will visit international
busker festivals in Ferrara, Italy, and Christchurch, New Zealand.
I am really excited about this project... I am currently trying to make flight arrangements (which can get complicated) and am already thinking about what to pack and what to leave behind... One more term to graduation... and then I am off, in the middle of July! In the mean time, I am performing this Friday for the Caltech Y Noon Concert, sort of a warm up for this coming year. More updates later (if I don't flake... )
