Messieurs et Dames!

Welcome to the third incarnation of Out There - a massive free festival of international performance and participation. Now the largest in the region, our ambition is to establish Out There as a street arts festival of international renown.

We love being Out There! Out on the east coast, we think we're a little bit special - perched on the edge of the UK and tipping a wink to the continent! Our programme reflects that. This year we welcome one of the titans of international street arts, Générik Vapeur who will perform the English premier their long- running street show, Bivouac. From France we also welcome Chamboule Touthéatre and two of the original founders of the parkour phenomenon in a show called Fusion. Add to that performers from Sweden, Belgium, New Zealand and Australia all bringing us a sense of the weird, the wonderful and the unusual.

We're also supporting local artists with a series of local commissions and performances around the festival park and there's plenty of opportunity to get Out There yourself with a number of participatory workshops.

Out There has been developed with the support of the ZEPA network, an innovative project partnering nine French and English festivals to create and share artists, tours and expertise. While born of international partnerships the festival is founded on the historic qualities that make Great Yarmouth unique. We've a rich heritage of circus, entertainment and a tremendous sense of fun!

The Out There Festival 2010 is a Synergy event, which supports healthy lifestyles and the active involvement of all people in Norfolk in the lead up to London 2012.

Synergy is part of 'Norfolk Celebrating Talent - looking forward to 2012', the countywide partnership to make the most of the opportunities arising from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Enjoy being Out There!

Joe Mackintosh, Artistic Director
