Remember our story about Eddie Izzard joining Polly Hoops in defense of street performers in London’s Trafalgar Square? Whether you do or you don’t, here we get a closer look at the life of Polly “Miss Polly Hoops” McFarlane and her busking/street performing via this student documentary short film produced and directed by Alicia Graham.
I wish her good luck It’s true not a lot of people understand performers, or that what they do is actually work– and hard work at that. They just see it as something silly, they see it as playing and therefore associate it with goofing around and lacking responsibility to “get a real job.” I don’t know if we’ll ever be able to change everybody’s perceptions, but one step at a time!
