I debuted my busking project today in Davis Square from 11 AM - 1 PM. I received a lot of notice but people did not interact with me directly, though I overheard one passerby mutter, "I've heard of that." (I'm not sure I know what he meant, or if he himself does...) Despite not getting the crowd response I may have desired, or any funds, I still think the performance was successful and provides some insights into the discourse I am seeking to spawn with this project.
I am keeping an ongoing log of how performances went, things to look into & consider, improvements and more. I am looking into some events I can try to perform at in which more of the art community will be involved. I am also planning to return to Davis Square on a semi-regular basis to build recognition in the hopes that people will open up to me over time; many passersby walked past more than once and I think given time will open up.
