Tag: Germany
I got an e-mail last week from Pablo Zibes in Germany announcing a new web site “intended as a free platform for contemporary professional clowns throughout the world.” The site is Clowns Online:
We interrupt my onslaught of free books about medieval fools and jesters to bring you this important 50-second message from Germany’s top handyman; at least I think it’s from Germany. He’s definitely handy. I mean, sheesh, I can juggle and I can fix things, but I never thought about combining them!
Amsterdam is known more for its street performance than its variety theatres, or as Charlie Frye forewarned me,”not too much Variete, except in the windows.” I loved the city, loved biking all over the place, but in my four days there this June I didn’t find much street performance either. Maybe I went at the wrong time or to the wrong place, but several trips through Dam Square netted me only one street performer, a British juggler/contortionist.
