One of the wonderful things about any festival is the street artists. Adiversity of street performers are here in Perugia for Umbria Jazz 12. From performance art to music, painters to craft specialists, they are all inspiring and make up the canvas of this festival. All week I have enjoyed the vast array of art offered from one end of town to the next.
Musically there has been big band jazz to funk. Performers from dance, to Kung Fu, clowns to street painting. Craft specialists from puppet makers to jewelry makers.This festival is so interesting that even though I am not usually one for crowds, I would return to Perugia again just for this festival.
It truly is one big party and all of Umbria seems to embrace it and feed the energy. This festival is not great just because of the performers but because the Umbrians return to the artists the same energy given. They are so responsive and appreciative that the feeling is more electric than any other festival I have been to in my life.
