A dance “Festival within a Festival” at The Edinburgh Fringe!
August 2011
Over 2,000 European presenters attend the Edinburgh Fringe Festival – Jodi Kaplan calls it the APAP of Europe! Booking Dance is actively positioning USA Dance Artists to European audiences and promoters. If you are a USA dance artist and want to tour internationally, this is an incredible opportunity.
Edinburgh 2011 is the year that the British Council will financially underwrite thousands of presenters, promoters, and Festival Directors to attend The Fringe. It is the ideal time to perform at the festival.
Selected Process
Participating USA dance companies will be finalized by December 2010. A meeting will be held at APAP 2011 (January 2011 in NYC) to review details in person and meet with potential artists. Please contact our office if you would like to be considered and mail a press kit and DVD of to:

"Whether you're a contemporary dance fiend or one of the uninitiated wanting to take a chance, this production is perfect for the Edinburgh Fringe lover. Seven dance companies, comprising more than thirty dancers in total, each provide a snapshot of quality, quirky and downright über speciality dance. From every corner of America, Jodi Kaplan, dance producer extraordinaire, has gathered eclectic works such as Erin Ellliot's 'Outlined In Black' and C. Eule Dance's 'face2face' and woven them into a recipe of pure enjoyment. Professional American dance at the Fringe has been neglected of late but plans are afoot for this wonderful dance 'festival within a festival' to return next year, and I for one will be sitting in rapture in the aisles."
