Abstract
Adelaide Fringe is the largest arts festival in the southern hemisphere. Internationally, it is second only to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (EFF). A non-for-profit and open access festival, Adelaide Fringe aims to encourage ambition and artistic excellence amongst the artists and performers that take part. Inspiring audiences and patrons alike, Adelaide Fringe is well known as being culturally diverse and inclusive. This cultural diversity extends to disability inclusion in two key areas. First, a commitment towards education in areas such as disability accessibility. Second, Adelaide Fringe is dedicated to, investigating barriers that could be preventing artists and performers from taking part in Adelaide Fringe itself. This report details findings of the research project Adelaide Fringe: reducing barriers of participation in the independent Arts (Fringe) for artists and performers with a disability. The three-month APR Intern funded project investigated environmental, systemic, and attitudinal barriers preventing those living with a disability from accessing and connecting with fringe arts opportunities. As part of this project, 118 individuals took part in an online survey, and a further six were interviewed via Zoom.
