2021 Symposium

‘Connecting with Taiwan’ was rewarded with an Infallibles Award, initiated by Stefania Bochicchio (CEO of Infallible Productions and ITI/UNESCO co-director) in 2020 to recognise excellence and creativity on the Fringe. According to Bochicchio, the jury decided unanimously to establish a new category: that of a Fringe ‘National Presence’ which had shown ‘the most artistically intelligent approach to lockdown restrictions by managing, in a most difficult year for the Edinburgh Fringe, to embrace and exploit - in the very best sense - the online format.’

Please note: all webinars will be conducted in English with access to captions via the online translation service Wordly,ai or BSL interpreters.
