Street performance

Street performance or busking is the act of performing in public places for gratuities. In many countries the rewards are generally in the form of money but other gratuities such as food, drink or gifts may be given. Street performance is practiced all over the world by men, women and children and dates back to antiquity. People engaging in this practice are called street performers or buskers.
Performances are anything that people find entertaining. Performers may do acrobatics, animal tricks, balloon twisting, caricatures, clowning, comedy, contortions, escapology, dance, singing, fire skills, flea circus, fortune-telling, juggling, magic, mime, living statue, musical performance, puppeteering, snake charming, storytelling or reciting poetry or prose, street art such as sketching and painting, street theatre, sword swallowing, and ventriloquism.
==Etymology==
The term "busking" was first noted in the English language around the middle 1860s in Great Britain. The verb "to busk", from the word "busker", comes from the Spanish root word "buscar", with the meaning "to seek".〔("busker" ) Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary〕 The Spanish word "buscar" in turn evolved from the Indo-European word
*"bhudh-skō" (to win, conquer). It was used for many street acts, and title of a famous Spanish book about one of them, El buscón. Today is still used in Spanish but mostly relegated for female street sex workers, or women seeking to be set up as private mistress of married men.
