STREETTALK ON TOUR 2013

Circus meets stencil graffiti in this innovative street show. The audience will be taken on a journey that includes balancing, body control, stencil-graffiti painted live, humor and audience participation. Can this fit into one of your events in June 2013?

StreeTTalk proposes to use the street as a platform for conversation. Inviting the audience to reflect on what is going on in the world today. Our key focus will be on environmental issues, to make people understand the interconnectedness of our fragile planet in its natural as well as cultural state. Our aim is to invite people to better our world, to remember that actually every little thing can help: together we can create change- reverse the negativeness of our actions and create a positive effect.

StreeT-Talk  will use the powerful tools of their art to reflect in a light and humorous way on the complexities of our modern world. Through the sensitivity of the clown, the dynamism of live performance and graffiti making, the feel-good entertainment of circus and the aesthetic appeal of visual art,  the audience will be invited to observe their own thoughts and behaviors.

WORKSHOP INTRIKA

Contact Juggling & Body throws, 

Movement and Expression.

Beginners Workshop:

The aim of the workshop is to give an introduction in moving with and manipulation of objects; exploring the notions of space (positive, negative and planes…), rhythm and movement. 

After a long experience of teaching workshops to beginners (non jugglers) and jugglers I have developed a step by step explorative approach to juggling and object manipulation.

The workshop is for total beginners as well as professionals, it teaches technique in a playful, exploratory way.

Through development of  body awareness the participants discover possibilities and methods of moving with objects (ie. the basics of contact juggling) .
It gets people moving in surprising ways; Approaching the skill of juggling in this way allows beginners to advance rapidly and advanced jugglers to develop new ways of moving away from their habits.

The ‘exploration’ of the object is a key part of this workshop; letting participants unleash their creativity.

The workshop covers contact juggling tricks  (basic to advanced), body throws ( in and around the body) and throws into contact (contact-toss).

“Once you drop you can’t stop” has kept me passionately addicted to juggling…

THE SKILL CONTENT OF THE SHOW

 Stencil graffiti is one of the most popular urban arts across the globe, yet the artists work on the paintings alone and the public only sees the end result. In StreeTTalk we want to share the experience 'live', make it a happening: merge the performance with the painting.

A stencil is a cut-out shape which is used for spray painting, Frø Productions has been refining this art so it can produce amazingly textured drawings, the image in the painting remaining secret until its complete apparition: a magical element of this form of graffiti. Audiences see something is being created in front of their very eyes, yet the final image remains a mystery until the very end.

Intrika are specialists in contact juggling and object manipulation- their shows are reknowned for their magical aesthetics. Manipulating the painting tools, as well as juggling objects; integrating acrobalance and theatrical staging they will choreograph a performance that is integrally connected to the painting process. Audience interaction will feature in the performance, to further implicate the crowd.

Though each artist brings a speciality to the performance, it will be a fully integrated show; all 4 actors fully engaged in all the elements of the show.

CIRCUS meet STENCIL GRAFFITI

Our artistic concept and exploration arises from the desire to bridge art forms, to walk new grounds. The StreeTTalk artists are highly skilled practitioners and are known for excelling within their own field of research. 



At their core these art forms are of very different nature, Circus is a physical performance with a Temporary nature, Stencil Graffitti is visual art of a Permanent nature. What they have in common is their accessibility to the public at large.
StreeTTalk builds a bridge between these art forms, crystallizing moments of the   (temporary) performance into the (permanent) beauty of a painting…between these artistic disciplines there is so much room for conversation and we want to make this conversation public.

When the cobble stones of the city have gone silent and the street artist have left for other horizons...a silent painting will still remain, full of life and colors a permanent gift to the cities walls, touching the passer by.
