How much does street theatre cost? (And why that's the wrong question)

The question everyone asks

'How much does street theatre cost?' It's the first question we get. And it's also the question that tells us least about whether an act is right for your event.

Street theatre costs what it costs, depending on the type of act, the number of performers, the travel distance and the duration of the performance. But the real question is: what do you want to achieve?

How are prices determined?

The price of a street theatre performance depends on several factors. Number of performers: a solo act costs less than an ensemble of eight. Duration: a short warm-up set of 20 minutes is priced differently from a full festival day. Travel distance: acts in Belgium and the Netherlands are logistically simpler than international bookings. Type of act: a simple walkabout character differs in price from a fully staged street production.

What does event entertainment actually deliver?

The right question isn't 'what does it cost?' but 'what does it do for my event?'. Interactive performances that stop people in their tracks, make them laugh and get them talking to each other have a value that's hard to put in pounds or euros. It's why people come back. Why they recommend your event. Why they want to be there next time.
