The Adelaide Fringe wrapped up yesterday with great fanfare. The 2009 Adelaide Fringe Show Awards have been shortlisted and we await publication soon.
We’ve interviewed a wonderful cross section of talented artists from the Adelaide Fringe: the funny comedians; Alexis Dubus and his sidekick, Marcel Lucont, Mark Trenwith and Mark Butler; strong and thought provoking theatre productions from Li Tsuei Sun, Darren Hassan and Sheela Langeberg; a lighthearted cabaret show from Klara McMurray; a European clown show with a difference from Jean Lucas; a most unique wrestling show from Fugofugo Yumeji; the “A Capella” Alto jazz vocalist, Naomi Crellin from the Australian jazz quartet – The Idea of North; the Ice artist, Robyn Base and the musical artist, Joelie Croser; and last but not least, the high-art-pop/electronic folk rock music duo, Orsino Nation.
A great way to read a broad critique of reviews is to check out the Adelaide City Life website. I’ve tended to home into the Adelaide Now website which has a good source of reviews for all the Festivals/Fringes down under in Adelaide.
A final mega thanks to all the Adelaide artists who previewed their shows in their Virtual Flyers with Festival Previews. It’s a great pleasure learning more about your work and your lives. We look forward to catching up with you all again.
The 2010 Adelaide Fringe will be 50 years young and the dates for your diaries next year are Friday 19th February to Sunday 14th March 2010.
