Another year and another successful Brighton Fringe! The month of May has flown by and sadly we bid farewell to Brighton for another year. Before making our departure, we wish to say a big thank you to the Brighton Fringe management for all their help, a truly great team to work with!
We also wish to thank all those talented artists who created their Virtual Flyers on Festival Previews; it’s been a great pleasure assisting you with the internet promotion of your show.
Last but not least we have been extremely fortunate to interview a selection of highly talented artists. Interviewing artists is a huge pleasure and we wish to thank them for their time and dedication in writing up answers to our quirky questions.
With a blockbuster Brighton Fringe behind us we now move on to the 4th Tokyo Fringe Festival which kicks off on Friday 28th May and runs over the weekend, winding up on Sunday 30th May 2010.
Shakti, who manages The Garage International, is the Artistic Director and creative power behind the Tokyo Fringe Festival. They have a talented lineup of artists coming from afar to share and communicate.
In the town of Katsushika-ku, across the Arakawa (Ara River), is “Shitamachi”, the Fringe of Tokyo. Asakusa with its charming little stalls and stunning Kannonji Temple is close by. Shibamata, home of the famous movie star, Tora-san, is right by. And in the midst of it is the small and intimate Shakti Studio. Their theme is “Collaboration & Communication”, aiming to bridge the gap between cultures, languages, art and people from all over the world.
For more information about this young and growing Fringe, do check out The Garage International.
After Tokyo we return to the United Kingdom and head to the Buxton Festival Fringe which commences on the 7th July running for most of the month till the 25th July 2010. This year they are celebrating their 30th Fringe with a bumper 140 entrants showcasing a variety of talent.
Do check out some of the Virtual Flyers for the Avignon Festival & Cie Le Off which are currently profiling on the website. More to come and more to enjoy!
Well, it’s a wrap for the Brighton Fringe as we bid farewell to its warm shores for another year. We wish to say a big thank you to the Brighton Fringe management and all the artists who created their Virtual Flyers on Festival Previews. It’s a great pleasure learning more about your work and your shows and we look forward to catching up with you all again next year… or at another festival or fringe.
