Amazing Fringe Concept
The “fringe” concept first developed in 1948 in Edinburgh, Scotland, when groups of local actors, performers, and musicians—in reaction to the more conventional lineup of the Edinburgh Theatre Festival—launched an alternative program to run concurrent to the main event. 73 years passed and the term ‘fringe’ widely refers to work that stays on the edges of the mainstream—as something that will bring in the new audience. There are now over 100s of fringe festivals in North America and across the world with its own structure and personality. The most popular Fringe Art in the UK is the big Edinburgh Fringe Arts.

The festival undertakes a review of its sustainability plan and strives to operate in a mode of constant improvement towards its sustainability goals.
“I love the unexpected, the chaos, the anarchy of the Fringe. Trying to find your way through the program knowing that while you’ll see excellent shows, you’ll always miss other great ones; talking to strangers while queuing up about their favourite performances so far and sharing yours; watching the audience and actors mix … All of this with the dramatic and incredibly beautiful backdrop that is Edinburgh, a perfect place for the festival.” Uta Bretsch
