World’s performing arts industry converges on Adelaide. More than 400 delegates from 25 countries including directors, presenters and programmers from some of the world’s most prestigious festivals and venues will have their cheque books out looking to sign work ripe for touring by 35 Australian performing arts companies and artists.
The Market was the largest performing arts showcase in the southern hemisphere and directly resulted in more than 60 Australian companies undertaking around 150 tours to 1200 venues, generating around $30 million in revenue since the first Market in 1994.
Some of the other 35 artists and companies to be presented during the week included Australian companies Circus Oz and The Australian Ballet, Lucy Guerin Inc (Vic), Albert David and Dancers (NSW), Leigh Warren and Dancers (SA), IHOS Opera (Tas) and The Happy Sideshow (Qld).
