The first winner of the Edinburgh International Festival Award was New York-based John Clancy Productions who presented a workshopperformance of Captain Overlord's Folly or the Fool's Revenge at EIF 08.
The workshop was concluded with participants' evaluation of the workshop, where performance indicators showed 100% satisfaction with the contents and facilitators.
When they finished their performance they headed off to give a workshop, but for most of the crowd leaving the Womad stage meant going back to the real world for another year.
