Kiwis to get arty in Edinburgh The largest contingent of New Zealand artists in history will take part in seven festivals in Edinburgh in August, including the prestigious international and fringe festivals. Wellington artists and performers among the 200 going to Edinburgh include composer Gareth Farr, Java Dance Company and jazz band The Troubles. .... The festivals are likely to attract an audience of 4 million and Mills said there would likely be more exposure due to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. "The timing is ideal," Creative NZ Arts Council chairman Dr Dick Grant said. "This means our elite and emerging artists and our elite and emerging athletes will be the centre of attention at the same period of time in Scotland. It will be a real plus for New Zealand." Java Dance Company's show, Back of the Bus, is performed in a moving bus and had a return season in Wellington this month. It will be staged in the Edinburgh Fringe, which helped expose Kiwi acts Flight of the Conchords and The Topp Twins. Source Link |

This is great. Talented people from small countries need all the international exposure they can get. It is amazing how many actors from the UK, canada, new Zealand and Australia are finding working by passing as Americans on us tv series. |
