Taipei, June 18 (CNA) A total of 174 teams and individual street performers have passed the Taipei City Government's first qualification test and review to operate legally, officials of the city bureau of cultural affairs said Saturday. At the end of June, the recognized street artists will be granted official licenses and they will be able to start performing on the streets of Taipei on July 1, the officials added. The groups and individuals, include 87 in the field of performing arts, 77 groups in visual arts and 10 in arts and crafts, were selected from 333 hopefuls in the official review, which was conducted in May at the National Chiang Kai-shek Cultural Center. The review was not only centered on creativity, but also demanded that participants be able to engage in interactions with the audience, officials of the bureau said, noting that most musical performers failed to pass the review because of their reluctance to interact with the public. The test and review was part of the city government's efforts to raise the artistic level of street performing activities, according to the bureau. (Elizabeth Hsu) ENDITEM/mw
