Spirit of the Fringe
This year we have received so much feedback from audience members and
companies about one group of people. They have sought us out to tell us about
what this team brought to the festival – always a smile, always encouragement,
professionalism etc etc. This year the Spirit of the Fringe awards goes to this
year’s team of Festival Assistants. All of these people flew themselves to Prague or gave up their week to make this festival happen and have done it with aplomb, a well-deserved award.
An honourable mention also for Stuart Lightbody in this category who has entertained us all with his sleight of hand not only in his show but in the cafes and
bars of the city and at Fringe Club every night....

The 2012 Cena za vyjimecne predstaveni (Outstanding Performance Award) has been donated by Fringe stalwart and long time supporter of the event, ceramicist Dave Fry, one of Britain's leading studio potters, based in Newcastle upon Tyne in the North of England. His work is highly sought after by collectors from around the World. His method of working and the nature of the kiln firing makes every piece produced a unique and original work. Dave’s work is inspired by ancient glazes and ideas of the early ceramics from Japan, China and Korea and is produced in high fired stone wear; the works can be used and loved for many years.
