  • Survival Guide
    Edinburgh Festivals SURVIVAL GUIDE Introduction by Alexander McCall Smith INTRODUCTION The original Edinburgh Festival was a wonderful gesture. In 1947, Britain was a dreary and difficult place to live, with the hardships and shortages of the Second World War still very much in evidence. The idea was to promote joyful celebration of the arts that would bring colour and excitement back into daily life. It worked, and the Edinburgh International Festival visitor might find a suitable festival even at the less rapidly became one of the leading arts festivals of obvious times of the year. The Scottish International the world. Edinburgh in the late summer came to be Storytelling Festival, for example, takes place in the synonymous with artistic celebration and sheer joy, shortening days of late October and early November, not just for the people of Edinburgh and Scotland, and, at what might be the coldest, darkest time of the but for everybody. year, there is the remarkable Edinburgh’s Hogmany, But then something rather interesting happened. one of the world’s biggest parties.

  • Classes Residencies Workshops
    9 September – 8 December 2017 PROFESSIONAL DANCE classes residencies workshops dancebase.co.uk WELCOME Autumn Term 2017 Welcome to our always surprising and inspiring professional programme – full of newly embodied ideas and opportunities for the dancers and makers of the nation. This term we have a true legend coming to visit and personally the first and so possibly the most influential guru of mine: The great Lindsay Kemp will be in the house in October. Lindsay was mentor to many including Kate Bush and David Bowie – the latter even came to stay at the mad and glorious basement flat in Drummond Street here in Edinburgh whilst writing his album Hunky Dory. I was scullery maid and gin pourer but also a devoted student of Lindsay’s. His shows were like something from another fabulous, glittering, over-made-up planet. A planet I’ve been visiting regularly ever since! As well as this amazing news, we will be welcoming our new DEBS (graduate dancers) who will be mentored by Al Seed, one of our great Scottish artists of physical theatre. Add to this up to two free classes a week for professionals and countless residency showings on Fridays, and it all starts to add up to a pretty awesome Autumn. As always, I’ll remind you that our Friday afternoon showings by companies in residence are open to all and free to attend. I hope to see you there, as well as |at the Lindsay Kemp-led autumn showcase and our Youth Dance showcase at the Traverse in November.

  • Edinburgh Festival News Snippets
    Home Festival History News Pre-Festival Stuff Festival Time Newbie? Witterings Links Site Map News Snippets - August 2008 to August 2009 2007-2008 | 2006-2007 Fringe 2009 ticket sales and other statistics posted September 1st, 2009. Initial statistics have been put out by the Fringe Society for the 2009 festival. They are summarised in The Guardian and The Scotsman. The headline figure is a new record of 1.85m tickets sold. This beats the previous record of 1.7m in 2007 by 9%. Other stats include: 18,901 performers in 34,265 performances of 2,098 shows; comedy made up 35% of the overall programme, theatre 28% and music 16%. While there is no breakdown of audience figures so far the feedback from some venues appears to indicate that increases in attendances at comedy shows may well be attributable to the Scots. As previously stated, despite apprehension in various quarters buoyant ticket sales are not totally unexpected this year. 2010 and 2011 will be more problematic years as the effects of the recession impact on employment numbers. Comedy is least likely to be affected as its audience tends to be younger and is more likely to have the necessary disposable income. Fringe venues complain about costs posted August 30th, 2009. The Scotsman reported that Fringe chief, Kath Mainland, is to meet venue chiefs who are concerned about rising costs and the future viability of medium-sized venues. More on the expense of putting on shows at the festival posted August 30th, 2009. This time it is Tommy Sheppard, director of The Stand Comedy Club, writing in The Scotsman on the difficulties faced by comedians.
