Progression of the Angel

Street performing, also known as busking, is a centuries old profession likened to the work of troubadours. Performers range from mimes, to clowns, balloon men to fire-breathers, sword swallowers to contortionists, the list goes on.

This tableau vivant has a rich tradition in places like on Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado and at Jackson Square in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana.

One such street performer, Gabbie Burns, is a living statue of an Angel.
