#HullUrbanOperaCollective presents Neil Balfour performing The Cold Song (What Power Art Thou) from Purcell's opera 'King Arthur.'

The audio & video in this performance was a continuous #LiveRecording by artsongstory.

Director: Russell Plows
Musical Director: Benjamin Newton
Performance: Neil Balfour (www.neilbalfour.com)
Audio & Video Recording: Ben Rawles
Designer: Liz Dees & Charles Huckvale at Apus Productions
Makeup and Wigs: Venice Marshall

A beaten, abused and broken down #Yeti is paraded around Hull as entertainment for onlookers to marvel and gawp at. Mid-performance the Yeti's inner-beast starts to surface and he pleads for help from the audience. It's one last attempt at breaking free. However, the power of 'the cane' returns him back into his box.

LYRICS:

What power art thou, who from below
Hast made me rise unwillingly and slow
From beds of everlasting, everlasting snow
See'st thou not how stiff, how stiff and wondrous old
Far unfit to bear the bitter cold
I can scarcely move or draw my breath
Let me, let me freeze again to death

AAAAAAAAA! This is so awesome! Looks like the Dragon of Calais has a lizard friend now. And Lilith is amazing.

Can you imagine not knowing this was happening, then casually looking out your apartment window to see a giant dragon peeking in like at 04:04? 😁 🐲

I absolutely adore La Machine's art.

When the Dragon Roared Through Cork’s Streets

Right, so let’s talk about the absolute star of Cork’s Dragon of Shandon parade—the massive skeletal dragon that dominated the streets and created that perfect mix of ancient mythology and contemporary street theatre that defines this extraordinary event.

The parade really is a spectacular event, and the dragon brings up the rear with ominous music and a rider on top. It’s really quite a sight to see!

The Jellyfish Brigade of the Dragon of Shandon

It’s not often you’ll see giant jellyfish floating along North Main Street, although with the rains pummeling Cork in the last few days there may well have been floods along there.

Cork’s Halloween Parade Brings Magic to the Street

This is what Cork’s Dragon of Shandon parade does best. It transforms the streets into a moving theatrical spectacular where elaborate costumes, dedicated face paint, choreographed performances, and pure Halloween energy collide in the most brilliant way possible.

Dragon of Shandon’s Spooky Crew

A few more photos of the Dragon of Shandon parade last night. I’ll spread these out over the next few days. You’ll get a proper chance to experience the fun of the night.

They’ll all be visible here in the future if you’re coming across this post by itself.

The Big Bones Brigade

One of the fabulous skeleton dancers at tonight’s Dragon of Shandon parade in Cork! What a buzz and atmosphere! Crowds were lining North Main Street where we waited, down Castle Street and then on to Cornmarket Street. Amazing night. Not to be missed next year!

More photos to follow when I have time to edit them.

Juggling Knives in London

I love that this street entertainer is wearing such bright and distinctive clothes but I wish his knives were brightly coloured. Still, the reaction of (some) people was worth it even if the background is too busy to see the knives properly.

Knives. He’s juggling knives over the head of a tourist lying on the ground. That could have ended badly, but people who perform in Covent Square are really good.

Street performers must audition for their spots in Covent Square through a formal licensing system managed by the local authority. Performers are allocated specific time slots and locations, with the most desirable pitches going to those who demonstrate the highest skill levels and ability to manage crowds safely. The system was introduced to maintain quality and safety standards after the area’s transformation from a working market to a major tourist destination in the 1980s.

Harassment isn’t counter-terror.
Suspicion isn’t protection.
Staring down citizens in public doesn’t make anyone safer — Only spreads fear.

'Cyber graduates’ are taught to blur lines between safety v surveillance, it isn’t protection — it’s harassment in Lycra.

Cyber lies don’t change the law.
Marking neighbours is still illegal.

No grey area
Marking people is illegal.

#AuditGenX they are trying to tangle millenials/ z's into their mess. #StreetTheatre #cybersecurity #boomeraccountability

“We were told the war on terror was about safety. Instead, it’s turned into neighbour vs. neighbour, citizen vs. citizen — a theatre of intimidation played out on our own streets.

Is this Russia 2.0?
Or just state-sanctioned bullying with baby seats in the back?

Snitches don’t keep us safe — they just keep us watched.”*

A couple of visitors to the City of York, in North East England, pictured being persuaded by a street entertainer to join a merry dance in King's Square, much to the delight of others.
NB Cambridge Dictionary defines the phrase 'to lead someone on a merry dance' as getting them to do things that are not necessary!

Found those by searching for Puppetistas, since those were the School of the Americas Watch folks we helped start about, gosh, 15 or 20+ years ago⌛️

I’m not certain about the first one — it looks like a School of the Americas puppet, but I don’t remember it for sure

I pretty much definitely I recognize the coffins as #SOAWatch at Fort Benning, Georgia. It’s hard to tell, but I might have been at the front of that line, so not in the picture ⚰️

A lovely day on Sunday, being a violin-playing bear for the Lions part's Twelfth Night celebrations on the Bankside outside Shakespeare's Globe and at Borough Yards.
My bear has new feet this year - much warmer!
