Hi there -
This is my first post here this year, and I thought I'd post a little introduction and a question to start things off.

First off, I'm Ayperi, and I'm a bellydancer in Madison, WI. I'm the contact person and manager for the act "Weno Gypsies," which is a Middle Eastern dance, music, history, fire dance, fantasy, and comedy act.

We performed at the Bristol Renaissance Faire (Kenosha, WI) last summer, the Camelot Medeval Festival (WI) in the fall, and the Janesville Renaissance Faire (WI) this spring. We are very happy and excited to be taking our act to Bristol again this year, but this year, rather than doing stage performances, like we have been for the past three faires we've done together, we were asked to do street performances.

Does any one have any advice for how to convert a stage act to the street? Any advice for street performers as to how to keep one's energy up while performing so much?

Thanks!!!
