The National Arts Festival, Grahamstown is
now accepting applications for Fringe productions wanting to take part in the
2013 edition of the Festival. The Festival will take place from June 27 to July
7, 2013.
The National Arts Festival Fringe is unique
in South Africa in that no selection criteria are applied – participation in
the Fringe is open to everyone. The Fringe has mushroomed in size since its
inception in 1979 when a diminutive 10 events comprised the Fringe – it now
consistently boasts over 400 events across all the arts genres. Disciplines
include children’s theatre, film, comedy, drama, physical theatre, dance,
cabaret, visual art, performance poetry, music theatre, and the full scope of
music genres.
“As always, we’re looking forward to
programming an exciting selection of productions. Artists who want to be part
of the 2013 Fringe have until January 18 to get their forms in to us, and we’re
on hand before then to help with any questions they may have,” said Fringe
Manager Zee Nweba.
