It is a collaboration between ["Garth Fagan Dance"], the ["George Eastman House"], the ["Geva Theatre"], the Rochester Downtown Development Corporation, the ["Rochester Institute of Technology"], the ["University of Rochester"] and the ["Eastman School of Music"], among others. + + The idea of a "fringe festival" originated in 1947, when eight theater groups turned up uninvited at the new Edinburgh International Festival and set up their own performances. The term "fringe festival" was coined the following year by Scottish journalist Robert Kemp to describe informal indie shows. Today there are more than 200 fringe festivals celebrated worldwide. Only twenty are in the United States. + + '''Mission Statement''' + + ''The First Niagara Rochester Fringe Festival exists as a means to connect venues, performers, artists, educational institutions and the audience. The organization facilitates an open environment so that artists and performers can stage their own work and venues can decide on their own programming. Fringe festivals are creative and economic engines for their host communities, and the First Niagara Rochester Fringe Festival will be no exception -- it will draw crowds into Downtown Rochester's East End as well as dollars into the local economy.'' + + [[Comments]]
