Abstract:
A project of the International Theatre Institute of the [ITI/US], this directory documents 850 theatre, dance and folklore festivals in 56 countries. It lists their names, addresses, telephone numbers and approximate dates and describes briefly the programs and attractions they offer. Because the ITI/US constituency is largely the theatre and dance community, festivals devoted exclusively to music and opera are not included here. Those with music as a primary focus do appear if they also present theatre and/or dance.
In this directory, a festival is a festival, a fair, a feast, a fiesta, a carnival, a ceremony, a celebration, an encounter, a ritual, a review - any regularly scheduled gathering of performance containing elements of theatre, dance or folklore. The festivals are amateur and professional, religious and secular, traditional and experimental, thematic and open-patterned, local and regional, national and international. They may be held every year, every five years or every 25 years, but they are held at prescribed intervals; one-time events are not within the directory's guidelines. (Preface).
