Bob is happy to be performing in Kids’ World this year. He was first able to bring together his unique method of storytelling for Concrete Theatre’s Sprouts Festival, and has since been sharing cacophonic creations for young audiences at Edmonton’s Fringe Festival, in schools around the city, and in his backyard with his sons. A very proud Edmonton-based actor/musician, he is a graduate of MacEwan’s Theatre Arts and Music programs, and founding member of Ribbit RePublic where most recently he co-created, and performed in an adaption of several Grimm’s brothers tales called Grimmer than Grimm. Bob is also appearing at the Festival with Edmonton’s official ukulele rock cover band The Be Arthurs.
Cindy Lou Requa has painted thousands of decorations on thousands of children, spreading delight across Western Canada. She has been a “regular” at local events for over 20 years and looks forward to StreetFest – and all the bright and shiny faces it brings - every July.
Darrin’s “first time” at StreetFest was in 1994, “the summer I dyed my hair blonde,” he notes. He is an award-winning writer, composer and performer whose been playing at StreetFest for over a decade. Looking back, he’s literally brought dozens of delightful characters to the festival. This year, Darrin can again be found at our Late Night Madness presentations, providing a musical soundtrack to the hilarity.
In their partnership, Harvey and Idaho have been involved with Kids’ World at StreetFest for the past nine years and are welcoming their tenth with glee. Other credits include the Comedy Festival, Night of Artists, Edmonton Fashion Week, InterFear Arts Festival, and LoveStyles Fashion Fundraisers. Set/costume design credits include Sterling Award winners, Lobster Telephone (Panties Production), Jeremy Fisher (Concrete Theatre) as well as Swallow (Azimuth Theatre). The boys are also busy with interior design projects and the coordination of a number of fabulous fundraisers for local theatre and charities.
Playwright, actor, comedian and juggler, James O’Shea [aka Chairman Jim] lives in fabulous Vancouver. He has traveled the world to exotic places like Egypt, Israel, Ireland and Cyprus showing audiences things they have never seen before—and occasionally, things they never want to see again. He was recently wowing crowds down at Robson Square for the Olympics. But right now, he’s right here. He believes that even though you may not have a life in the circus, you should always have a little circus in your life. Catch his show on Churchill Square or learn the tricks of his trade at the Be Your Own Busker Juggling Workshops.
A veteran actor and street performer, Jan Streader transforms from ZuZu the Clown to Mrs. Collywobbles, the cockney cleaning lady; from Antoinette the Fairy Godmother to Professor McComical the wacky wizard; to Suzanna Banana who sings, and dances everything from Conga to Cuban to Calypso. Jan has enchanted people of all ages, touring Alberta for more than a decade.
Jesse and Amber will be roaming the festival as kooky characters that are sure to make your belly ache with delight. An actor, dancer and voice-over artist, Jesse has performed for many major theatre companies including Theatre Network, Concrete Theatre, Northern Light Theatre, Mayfield Dinner Theatre, Catalyst Theatre and The Citadel to name a few. Amber is an actor, choreographer, dancer and founder/co-artistic director of Dammitdance Theatre.
