City in Motion Dance Theater, KC Fringe 2014MISSOURI ARTS COUNCIL JUNE 2015Missouri’s Fringe Fests Are Freewheeling Arts Funby Barbara MacRobieA tribute to Motown. A potpourri of dance, music, storytelling, and audience participation where eachbit lasts no more than two minutes. One man’s story of bicycling across the U.S. to meet other men withmoustaches. And lots more theatre, dance, singing, magic, stand-up comedy, improv, storytelling, slampoetry, burlesque, vaudeville, circus, film, and even culinary arts and fashion design.At two summertime festivals in Missouri, you’ll experience all this in a yeasty atmosphere unlike anythingelse in the state. The 4th annual St. Lou Fringe takes place June 17-27 around the Grand Center arts andentertainment district. The 11th annual KC Fringe takes place July 16-26 in locations from the CrossroadsArts District to Country Club Plaza.“Our festivals are what I call choose-your-own adventure,” said Em Piro, founder and director of St. LouFringe. “You will find an uninhibited creative community—projects created with passion, straight from theprofessional artists and the streets of our cities.”First Fringe born by happenstanceBoth Missouri festivals carry the name “fringe” because their founders were inspired by a type ofunconventional festival that started unexpectedly in Scotland shortly after World War II. In 1947, eighttheatre companies that had not been invited to be part of the inaugural Edinburgh International Festivaldecided to show up anyway to take advantage of the large crowds in the city for the mainstream event.

The next year, local journalist Robert Kemp described the non-official events as “round the fringe of officialFestival drama.” “Fringe” stuck as a fitting name for what had bloomed into an alternative festival.The Edinburgh Fringe prospered. Other festivals picked up the name, the format, and the spirit. Overthe past few years, the growth of Fringe fests has zoomed. According to the World Fringe organization,152 Fringe festivals are taking place around the world in 2015—up from 84 in 2010 and 28 in 2000.Open, uninhibited, and cheapEach Fringe has its own unique personality and focus, but Kansas City and St. Louis share these traitscommon to Fringes worldwide: Open and unjuried. Unlike mainstream festivals that invite only the artists they want, Fringes are opento anyone. Both St. Lou Fringe and KC Fringe take applications “first come, first served” without judging thecontent of the proposed shows. “Adjudication is great, but a lot of artists can be intimidated by that,” saidAshley Tate, whose modern/jazz/urban Ashleyliane Dance Company has performed at St. Lou Fringe fromthe beginning. “Maybe your art isn’t what people are used to or doesn’t easily fit into a category. Fringesays that whatever you are trying to say is your creative voice and it should be heard.”St. Lou Fringe currentlyhas room for 30 performinggroups. The event gives10 slots to the first localperformers who apply and10 to the first nationalperformers who apply. Theremaining 10 are filled bylottery. “Hopefully one daywe will be the size andscale where we can takeeveryone,” said Em. KCFringe has grown enough,adding three newperformance venues for2015, that this year everyartist who applied wasaccepted. “It’s the first yearin five that we have not hada wait list,” said CherylKimmi, founder andexecutive director.Creepy Basement Players, St. Lou Fringe 2014. The St. Louis comedy troupe, which performs the“long form” storytelling style of improv, will be at both St. Lou Fringe and KC Fringe in 2015. Inexpensive for artists to perform. Production fees are low, and the festivals provide logistical support.“Some artists can’t produce in the regular market because it’s too expensive—you can’t rent a venue forone night for less than 1000,” said Cheryl. “At KC Fringe, the cost to do three shows in a small venue is 350. And we provide basic light and sound, tech
