The
EdinburghFringeFest.com began as an experiment by local artists with the financial and energy support and dedicated drive of
Fusako Tsuji, Atsushi Shibata, Julie Chambers, Lindsay Michie, Fusako Tsuji, James Foster, Ismail Bag and others
who are local and international Entertainment
Music-Theatre-Film-Dance-Arts consultants, journalsists,
photographers, reviewers and promoters. They then approached the
INL News Group, the
USA Weekly News and other media and local and international business groups to help fund the setting up of
Edinburgh Fringe Festival Limited and the
New York International Theater, Film & Arts Festival www.NYITFest.com, www.NYITFest.org, the
Emerge Fest www.EmergeFest.org and
www.EdinburghFringeFest.com and
www.DublinFringeFest.com
Fusako Tsuji, Atsushi Shibata, Julie Chambers, Lindsay Michie, James Foster, Ismail Bag and others noticed
that there was a thriving underground Entertainment
Music-Theatre-Film-Dance-Arts scene in Edinburgh and many other towns
around the world, yet the community-at-large, including budding artists
and children, were not fully aware of exhibits, performances, and
educational opportunities.
Fusako Tsuji, Atsushi Shibata, Julie Chambers, Lindsay Michie, James Foster, Ismail Bag and others realized that a unifying organization like
Edinburgh Fringe Festival Limited, could bring the local and international Entertainment Music-Theatre-Film-Dance to the
Edinburgh Fringe Festival, The NYIT Fest and the Dublin Fringe Fest in a productive and inspiring way. They believed that a lot of hard work and some funding, run under an organization such as
Edinburgh Fringe Festival Limited coul be effective in helping to co-ordinate and develop the New York International Theater, Film & Arts Festival www.NYITFest.com, www.NYITFest.org, the Emerge Fest www.EmergeFest.org and www.EdinburghFringeFest.com and www.DublinFringeFest.com would
improve the quality of life of every Edinburgh resident,and the
artis-music-theatre-film-dance comunities i9n Sotland, United Kingdom
Ireland, USA and the artis-music-theatre-film-dance comunities all over
the world.
