The Current World Record is held by Rumplestiltskin, a Jester from Australia
who is currently a performer with "Cirque de Soleil."
At Noon on Monday 29th
May Jonathan the
Jester will be attempting to break the record of the longest street performance.
The show will continue throughout the day and through the night and continue until 2pm on Tuesday 30th May.
The record attempt will take place in Salisbury
Market Square and on the the Guild Hall Square on a public thoroughfare. Exposed to the British weather I hope to
hold and maintain a crowd for the entire length of the show.
I have chosen to perform this record in Salisbury because it was watching streetperformers at Salisbury International Arts Festival
that inspired me to perform on the street.
This will be the third time that this record has been attempted. Rumplestiltskin is going to beat this record again in the near future and other artists are looking at challenging for it.
This record is for the longest ever STREETSHOW.
The
Rules
The Show is to be performed outdoors with unrestricted public access.
The performer may plan the show and get appropriate permissions. The performer may provide a small portable
shelter to protect his props. He may utilise arches, doorways or bridges to provide shelter from the rain. However
the show must not take place indoors or under a permanent roof such as a subway or a shopping mall.
The Performer must maintain and engage with his audience througout the performance. There must be no break
of contact with his audience and he must remain within sight or sound of the audience at all times. This includes
during the call of nature.
The performer must not simply repeat a smaller show over and over. Stunts, Tricks and things may be repeated
but only if they are used in a different context. The Performer must not repeat routines that last more than a minute.
The audience should not feel they are watching something they have already seen.
The artist must not use performance enhancing drugs that are currently banned for athletic or sporting events.
