FRINGE SATELLITES
Auckland Fringe Festival are branching further afield with a brand new initiative this year, bringing the spirit of the infamous visual and performing arts festival to regional spaces, beginning with Fringe West in Henderson.
Audiences can expect a day of photography from the open Artist Studios, music, poetry, roving street performers, a sneak peak at Mixit’s new show – and if you fancy staying till the evening, the the newly refurbished Te Pou Theatre and their rangatahi company will be opening the space with E Hui E!
What is a Fringe festival? Technically, a Fringe Festival is a ‘Fringe of another Festival.’ It is an open platform when it comes to the ideas and content shared, with a focus on testing new ways of creating theatrical or sensory work, and pushing the boundaries of what we consider to be ‘live performance.’ It is an unofficial, often unconventional arts festival. Fringe Festival is an event showcasing a selection of shows from small companies, that can range from stand-up comics, improvisation, comedies, farces, musicals, sculpture, painting, mime, poetry, storytelling – just about anything else that you can perform, given a place to do it. They tend to be cutting edge, at times controversial, eclectic, low budget, and easily accessible by the public.
Join us for a Fringey celebration out West.
