Tekst 1 THE ADELAIDE FRINGE FESTIVAL When the Adelaide Fringe Festival started in 1960, very few people thought it could become the world’s second-largest arts festival. The idea for the festival came from a group of artists, most of them local and not very famous. They couldn’t understand why many of them weren’t allowed to take part in the official, government-funded Adelaide Festival of Arts. They wanted to create an event which could be open to any artists who wanted to share their creativity with the public. The idea became a great success and the festival grew fast. Every two years, as it was held until 2007, the number of exhibitions increased. Fifteen years after the idea was born, Frank Ford, a writer and director, became the first head of the official organisation known as the Adelaide Fringe. However, for many years the festival featured only Australian artists until 1988 when artists from all over the world were invited to come and perform. The festival is now a huge and amazing one, with over 900 events including cabaret, comedy, circus, dance, visual arts and music. It traditionally opens with a parade, which is followed by a street party. Today the fourweek festival attracts audiences to the theatres and galleries of Adelaide. However, many events take place in the streets and some unusual places like warehouses or empty buildings. All types of artists are welcome to join the festival. Their performances and exhibitions are usually free to the public, although tickets are necessary to see the biggest events. This is possible because the festival is sponsored by a lot of government and business organisations. 1 The Adelaide Fringe Festival started as A one of the largest events in the world.
