Hello! Would you like the chance to become a maths performer? The performance team from Maths Busking will be entertaining the crowds once again at this year's British Science Festival in Aberdeen in September - and we're looking for new recruits! We'll be running a two day training programme for budding Maths Buskers on 31st August and 1st September, with performance in Aberdeen as part of the Science Festival the following weekend. The free training programme, kindly sponsored by the British Science Festival, is open to anyone wanting to do mathematics communication, including researchers, teachers, communicators, students, and performers of any kind. The session will be led by Maths Busking co-founder Matt Parker, the Stand-up Mathematician, and busking expert Ken Farquhar, better known as science performer Dr Ken. The training programme will focus on presentation skills and talking to the public, as well as busking techniques. Mathematics routines will be explored in the context of street performance. You will also have the opportunity to entertain the public as part of the British Science Festival, alongside our experienced performers. For more information about the Maths Busking project or the training programme, to watch a video of buskers in action, or to sign up to train with our expert team, visit our website at www.mathsbusking.com. Please pass this message on to anyone you think would be interested in joining us!
