CARNIVAL SAFETY SUCCESS
This year’s Notting Hill Carnival, Europe’s biggest street festival, is being acclaimed as the best ever.
Despite the cloudy skies, the carnival brought the streets to life in its own unique way with record numbers and little reported crime,
After the two murders in 2000, several changes were made. Firstly, the route for the carnival was changed to avoid the narrowest streets in Notting Hill, a residential area with many small roads. Secondly, the carnival organisers provided more stewards and they received better training. Finally, the organisers ensured that the ending time, 9 p.m., was closely observed.
Following these changes, Carnival 2002 saw more than a million people party in the streets of Notting
Hill. More than 3,000 people dressed in spectacular colourful costumes and paraded and danced through the streets, Apart from the carnival parade, the local area was filled with sound systems pumping out music of all different kinds – Samba, Soca, Reggae and Rap music being the most common.
Police yesterday said that 56 arrests were made over the weekend, which included 30 arrests for pickpocketing and three for robbery. The chairman of the Notting Hill Carnival Trust, Chris Mullard, said yesterday, "I hope people will now see the carnival for what it is; a wonderful opportunity to project the

    New Orleans and Mardi Gras

    • 1796 Words
    • 8 Pages

    New Orleans was left permanently changed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Mardi Gras season presents an opportunity for locals and tourists alike to collaboratively define this new and changed city. Carnival and Mardi Gras day itself can be viewed as theatrical performances in which local New Orleanians and tourists are involved in multiple dramatic interactions to present an ideal city and celebration. These reciprocal interactions between actor and audience result in a certain presentation of the festival, and of the City of New Orleans and often involves hiding the problems and devastating history that is very much a part of the city and festivities. Tourists from all over the world flock to the city to act in and be an audience member to the series of formal, ritualized parades and balls which take place between the Twelfth Night and Lent. The celebration is reinvented by its performance teams and audiences each year and thus, its meaning is constantly being renegotiated. The first formal masked parade presented by an organized krewe, or performance team consisting of city locals working together to stage the performance of Mardi Gras, took place in 1857 (Cohen 110). Each krewe has a distinct name, performance team members, and personal front. Unique ritual paradigms, such as the exchange of beads for disrobement, are created and enacted in which mutual understanding of the situation is necessary. The success of the presentation is determined not only by the krewe 's performance but by the audience 's acceptance of the krewe 's performance as believable, and their willingness to overlook mistakes. Thus, defining Mardi Gras and the City of New Orleans is a cooperative dramaturgical process dependent on the cooperation of actors and audience members. The product of this interaction between audience members and actors is a working, malleable definition of Mardi Gras ' and New Orleans ' self.…
