I thought is was very cold at times but workable,
the reation from the crowd was strange, but they hats were decent, amazingly enough;
I tried speaking and working silent
try to speak allittle bit of bad german puts you into the respect for trying game; and they loosen up. I worked there for two weeks on the KUDAM just in front of the church; well half church
Good luck

Thanks for the info UCO. KUDAM still seems to be the main pitch, few others are rumored to be workable in the summer as well. Did a few after meeting up with some of the locals, for winter they weren't bad. Know what you mean about strange though.

I worked on Kurdam way back in 91. About half a km from the church towards where the wall used to be, there is a fashion store set about 20ft back from the rest of the street frontages. I'm sure the space is still there. It was good for us especially during the day and after we made p3 of "Das Bild" and the TV news. We also got the very first buskers permit issued for East Berlin.

In the mood for something new
If you do any night club work I have a contact for ya.
Crazy fetish, Kit Kat Klub ask for dominque, does some bookings there.
Good luck

Thanks for all the info guys! Down south in Wiesbaden now, will probally be heading up to berlin again when it gets a little warmer.

First couple of street shows had some agent walking in asking for bussiness cards, and a tv crew filming away obliovious that they might be interrupting what they were filming. Crowds were good, though the hats proved I still need to work on my German money lines a little more.

I love doing night club work, so I´ll definitly give them a call before I head back up. Have a few other places I´m supposed to be sending demo material as well. Varitie, and club work seems to be the way to go in Germany.

Overall was a good tester though.

Does anyone have any news from berlin???

I'm going there next summer or maybe on the winter time... the only things that I would really like to know is if there's some place where I can practice circus, some circus school...

I know about juggling katakomb...

Well any place like the barcelona's "makabra" would be nice!

You're refering to 2010 ?

[Paul Garbanzo]

Hey Gav,
