Street performance is a tradition as old as civilisation. Artists perform in public spaces for money or, in some instances, even for food and drinks. There are several types of street performers, from musicians, magicians, and artists to snake charmers.
During the Medieval Ages, local merchants would invite such performers to perform before their stores to attract customers.
Closer home, in India, street performances continue to take place as a means of livelihood, to keep up traditions or to communicate important social messages.
Here is a Gouache painting of musicians and a dancer performing in Southern India.
