Hi All
The School of Busking 2011 is now accepting applicants The dates - 6,7,8th May 2011 The place - Cardiff the Capital of Wales UK, (Easy to get to alone the M4 from London or up or down the M5 north or south) The Venue - The NoFit State Circus new training centre in central Cardiff The course runs over 3 days. It is an intensive course with lots to learn and provides a positive environment to learn the art of Street Performing, there are over 30 hours of workshops, lectures and performances packed with fun and information. Places on the course are already being booked, we can organise good budget accommodation where hopefully all the students and lecturers will end up staying. For this to happen you need to contact me as soon as you can. The Lecturers Mario Morris - This year Mario Morris will again host, lecture and instruct at this unique and creative course - find out more about Mario at http://www.mariomorris.co.uk Malin nilsson - We have the pleasure of inviting Malin to our team this year, her experience is broad and she regularly performs in theaters and the street's. Malins main input will be - focus on Character in our performance and technical handling of magic. During the World Championships of Street Magic, held in Germany 2010, Malin and her performance partner took 3rd place and was very much a hot topic amongst the street performers there - bringing a very much needed female input to the world of Magic and street performing, holding her own as a Master of Magic. We realised that Malin was perfect for a role in the School as she shares her skills with a passion. Find out more about Malin at http://www.malinnilsson.se/eng/malin_eng.htm For more details or if you have any questions contact me at veronicashow@hotmail.co.uk or go to http://www.schoolofbusking.com or post your qwestions on hear.

Anyone from the states that would like a native Californian living in London's perspective on this----here it is. I've atteneded the past two years and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. But, more importantly, the quantity and quality of information was phenomenal. I can't picture a better opportunity to gain the skills and knowledge----great teachers-----great venue----great energy and great beer. Enjoy, Doug

Hey Doug,
Thanks for the post - it was good to see you last year in Cambridge too. Looking forward to meeting new students in May. We're really looking forward to this year's school and returning to our roots in Cardiff. Again, we are going to organise budget shared accommodation - Its all part of the magic of the school... also it means we can all head back to the same place after a few pints... that way no one gets lost!

I attended the school of Busking in May 2010 and would recommend the school to anyone looking to further their knowledge of street performance. The weekend is organised by Mario and Vanessa Morris both fantastic street performers and genuine lovely people. The weekend consisted of lectures indoors covering every aspect of street work from both Mario and the guest lecturers which were Steve Faulkner and Owen Lean the year I attended. Once we had soaked up all the knowledge we were giving the chance to workshop our own routines and material and get feedback from the tutors. This process was invaluable because you got the input from three top street performers each of whom have their own style and thoughts. It literally gives you so much to think about and work on.
The Sunday was by far the ‘main event’ as we were all given the opportunity to take to the streets to put what we had learned into practice. I personally come from a performing background but the actual experience on the street is unlike anything else I have ever been involved in. Its a perfect stepping stone into the world of busking because your confidence gets a boost from the other performers around you. Everyone was there to learn together and the comradery was amazing throughout the weekend. Personally completing that first show and handing out my hat to complete strangers and hearing the coins falling in was an absolutely sensational feeling. The reason I went on the course was to learn form the best and get the confidence to go it alone on the streets. I left the weekend buzzing with idea that I have been developing and working on since. Unlike reading a book or watching a dvd learning from people and sharing ideas with like minded performers is in my mind the best way to learn this craft. Darren Campbell. |

Mario comes to Las Vegas sometime in October to do his school which hosted by McBride.
I went last year and I believe it is an ongoing thing that happens every year.
