Welcome to the 2012 Fringe Lottery!
Friends, Fringers, Countrypersons, and Internationalists,
We're so excited for the 24th annual Fringe and hope you are too.
As you have undoubtedly experienced, the past few years have seen extraordinary change at the Fringe – our Next Stage Festival in January has grown in audience numbers by 40% over the past 4 years; we are entering our third summer in our home in the Honest Ed’s parking lot; we introduced the wildly successful Visual Fringe in the alleyway of Honest Ed's; our Site Specific category (that replaced BYOVs) had some incredible offers; we continue to strengthen our youth and artist outreach programs, and just before last year’s Festival, we moved into the Fringe Creation Lab. We now have 3500 square feet of administrative and affordable rehearsal space that is available to you.
Our mandate continues to be simple: we enable access to creative opportunities for anyone who wants to tell a story and anyone who wants to hear one. The Fringe isn't just a talent market or a stepping stone, it's a place to express and challenge yourself and challenge those around you, and most importantly to take risks.
Last year also saw the launch of our new performer site, the central system where all communication, forms, questionnaires, and the new Participant Handbook are housed. We wanted to provide our artists with a more streamlined experience so they could focus on the creative process. This year, we are committed to enhancing the ‘first-time’ experience, from both the artist and audience perspective. We want everyone to enjoy the Festival as much as possible and as always we are committed to securing resources to make sure our operations do your work justice.
Again this year, along with the established lottery categories, we are going into our second year with the Site-Specific Art Category.
For your part, we're calling on you to keep challenging us, keep bringing us art that is relevant and exciting, and that represents the diversity of our community. There's room for everything at the Fringe, from mainstream offerings ready to be picked up by impresarios to sublingual interpretive body poetry. Your voice is important, and we want to give it a home.
Good luck with the lottery and with your art!
