Alexander M Knapp

When performing environmentally i will be stationary or mobile, depending on the type of performance (eg. Living statue, juggling, circus arts) performing for and interacting with individuals and groups of people.

When doing a show an audience or client can expect to laugh, participate, and be a spectator of amazing feats of wonder.

All props and equipment for environmental "roaming" entertainment I provide.

For a stage or street show I also provide all performing equipment. If the client wants the performance to include lights, microphones or sound systems they must provide that equipment.
