I don’t know what my show is yet. Can I still apply?

Why would I want to put on a Fringe show?

Fringe is a great platform to produce a show while the fringe takes care of its presentation.

You can also experiment with content since Fringe is usually non-curated and is open to any performance genre of your choice. You can choose to tell your story; however you please; through text / music / moment /  mime / masks etc.

An artist and their team get to perform on a platform that is recognized worldwide, and expand their network with other artists coming from regions outside your recognized area.
