Festival time in Norwich

May is festival time in Norwich. We've had the Norfolk and Norwich Festival from 7 to 22 of May and the Norwich Fringe Festivsl from 13 to 28 of May. The first three pictures are of the Whalley Range Allstars, ten performers and ten life size puppets (each resembling their handlers) dashing round the streets and stopping now and then to dance sing through a routine
or allow the puppets to interact with the public, from one situation to another, with amusing and unpredictable results.

There is a picture of one of the dancers from the Foundation for Indian Performing Arts, who perfomr perform in the streets on stilts, the Aranya and Kishkinda Kandas based on episodes of the Ramayana, one of the great epics of India.


The final two pictures are from the fringe festival, of the Norwich Ukelele Orchestra, at the Big Busk 2011 in the streets of Norwich.
