By definition, a Fringe Festival is a non-profit organization of performers, producers, and managers dedicated to providing local, national, and international emerging artists a non-juried opportunity to present new works to arts-friendly audiences. All Fringe Festivals are committed to a common philosophy that promotes accessible, inexpensive, and fun performing arts attendance. For the purposes of this study, qualitative research methods, supported by action research and combined with fieldwork and participant observations, will be used to investigate, describe, and document what Fringe Festivals are all about.

  • SHOW TICKETS at Or Our EXIT Theatre Mobile App! a Note from Our Founder First, Thank You, for Supporting the San Francisco Fringe Festival
    SHOW TICKETS AT www.sffringe.org or our EXIT Theatre mobile app! A note from our Founder First, Thank You, for supporting the San Francisco Fringe Festival. EXIT Theatre is very proud and grateful to have had the opportunity for the past 27 years to support indie artists in this unique way. As a CAFF member festival, the SF Fringe is an open access event where our performing companies are chosen by lottery. This sometimes surprises people but it works, and a tremendous amount of new and relevant work comes out of the SF Fringe as well as many Bay Area pro- ducing groups who are cornerstones in the indie performing arts culture. We are also proud to say that we return 100% of the ticket price to the Fringe performing companies, which means that indie artists are able to earn money to continue to create their work. So please be sure to see as many shows as possible and help indie arts thrive and survive. Of course this would not be possible without the continued support of our dedicated volunteers, staff, funders, and audience. If you’ve been to an SF Fringe before you’re already familiar with our Tip The Fringe campaign. This is one of the ways we are able to continue to keep the festival going each year, so please be generous and donate what you can. And remember the SF Fringe is just one of the many different events that are on the EXIT stages year round. Come back and be a part of this vibrant, creative and important community, and check us out through- out the year at www.theexit.org Live performance is all about the human connection, realizing we are one together.

Know Theatre of Cincinnati wants you take a chance by picking a show, any show, at the 13th ​ ​ Annual Cincinnati Fringe Festival, running May 31­June 11, 2016. We’re once again set to ​ ​ ​ welcome over 8,000 visitors to Downtown and Over­the­Rhine as we transform over a dozen locations into temporary performance spaces and present the region’s largest theatre and arts festival that’s Kinda Weird. Like You. With 12 days full of of opportunities to catch 50 live ​ ​ ​ ​ productions, Visual Fringe art projects, musical guests, and the nightly Fringe Bar Series at Know Theatre (Fringe Headquarters), you’ll find yourself lucky to have more to experience at Fringe this year than EVER BEFORE! This year saw a record­shattering 105 applications, which made the task of selecting a final ​ ​ lineup of productions extremely difficult. Chris Wesselman, Associate Producer of Cincy ​ ​ Fringe, says, “It’s a blissful marathon, pouring through so many wonderful, thought­provoking and laugh­inducing applications; final choices are always tough because you want to see them all brought to life. Every year the passion and ingenuity brought to us by these artists further ​ cements the fact that Fringe is the place to find modern theatre’s true pioneers.” This year the Cincy Fringe Selection Jury, which adjudicates all submissions for the Primary ​ ​ Lineup (including FringeNext), was increased to a whopping thirty jurors in order to further ​ ​ expand feedback and ensure a lineup that is as diverse and varied in themes and disciplines as possible.

Our festivals (CAFF) and cannot be used without expressed are designed to put artists and audiences in direct written permission from the Association.

The first Canadian Fringe was the Edmonton Fringe Festival, established in 1982. Inspired by the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which began in 1947, the success and growth of Edmonton’s adapted formula soon led to the creation of Fringe Festivals across Canada and the United States. Each festival evolved its own flavour to match the distinct personality of its home city, yet each remained dedicated to the Fringe philosophy of accessible, inexpensive and fun theatre-going.

  • EFFE Award Salon Booklet
    2 EFFE AWARDS SALON 2019 CONTENTS 1 Programme 7 EFFE Lifetime Achievement Awards 2019 8 Salon speakers 11 2 EFFE Laureates 15 3 EFA and its members 53 EFFE AWARDS SALON 2019 3 DEAR COLLEAGUES, DEAR FRIENDS Welcome to the EFFE Awards Salon 2019 at BOZAR. A special day is bringing the attention to the arts, artists and the role of festivals in offering artists the platform to develop their work. The European Festivals Association (EFA) is convinced about the importance of festivals, cities and decision makers on the local level and their interaction. Arts and the artists are the matrix of each festival. As is the city and its community. There is no community without the arts. The links between a festival and a city are strong. Cities and regions in Europe are natural partners for festivals (and for Europe) in their daily local work. At the EFFE Awards Salon, we are coming together: artists, festival makers, city representatives, European decision makers to express our readiness to act together, to increase joint steps and practical arrangements that enable arts, arts festivals, cultural activities as well as cities, and Europe, to do their respective jobs. It seems to us a unique composition of people here today and an opportunity for us to connect and empower our alliance to be meaningful, present and influential in the European story. Culture is no evidence, it is a work of every day. The EFFE Awards 2019-2020 will demonstrate the EFFE Jury’s recognition to a few, but in the end to all arts festivals committing themselves to Europe on the FestivalFinder.eu.
