Europe is a good place for all kinds of art to bloosom. Street performances, whether formal or casual, are found everywhere. Anyone who is confident about their own talent can find a space for performing on the street. On the street, the performing arts are not restricted to ordinary art forms. They can be very expressive and imaginative. Standing still and acting like a statue can be a performing art. Such kinds of performances might not be appealing to everyone, but this isnot the performer's goal.

Many festivals are specially tailored for street performers. Parades and stage performance are frequent. Street performers perform not only from their heads, but also from their hearts. The performers thus reveal their enthusiasm about art.
