Putting together a street performance...
So it is getting to be nice and warm here in South Korea, and I am becoming tempted to busk in clown in Seoul.
The bad news: The biggest thing is I have no actual act yet. In fact I have only the vaguest sense of character, no real name, and no real costume with me either. I have only small Korean vocabulary. My funds are limited, and any props have to be small and portable since I left my nice big trunk at home. I don't know the rules written and unwritten for foreigners busking in Seoul.
The good news: I have makeup and nose. I have bright light red baggy winter workout pants, and red suspenders. I have cards, juggling clubs, (that I can only cascade) and juggling balls (that I have about five or six tricks for). I have my health and have been working out. The people here know and appreciate physical humor. I have time. I like challenges, and limitations make me creative.
I am discovering that I am pretty good at taking others peoples ideas and running with them or twisting them to my own ends, so that is what I need: basic ideas.
Help! I am looking to build a flexible portable solo routine (or two or more) that last about fifteen (more or less) minutes.
Any ideas?
