Registrations for NZ
Fringe Festival 2013 will be open Monday August 27
until Friday 12 October 2012. We will have a new online
registration system which you will be able to access
directly from our website - www.fringe.co.nz . This
online registration process is a registration hub shared
with Auckland and Dunedin Fringe Festivals. We are
also proud to announce we have Kakano funding (for new work)
for NZ Fringe Festival participants in 2013. You will be
able to apply for Kakano at the same time as registering
your show. The whole 2012 Fringe team are back
again for 2013 with Emma Giesen, Hannah Clarke, Brianne Kerr
and Joshua Stewart scheming and brimming with ideas. We
eagerly anticipate 2013 to be bigger and better than ever
and we can’t wait to see what you come up with! We are kicking things off with a Funding
Forum - 6pm, Thursday 9
August at Toi Poneke (61 Abel Smith St), where you
can hear about some options for funding your Fringe show.
Then leading into registrations opening we'll be hosting a
"What's the 'F' in Fringe" Forum at Capital
E (Civic Square) 6pm, Wednesday 5
September. Both of these are free and open to
anyone thinking about putting on a show in Fringe 2013.
Things to start planning/considering for registration
– venue, synopsis/theme, images, budgets, do you want to
tour and do you want a Fringe 2013 t-shirt? IMPORTANT UPCOMING FRINGE DATES: •
Fringe Funding Forum @ Toi Poneke Hub:
Thursday 9 August, 6pm - hear from the
Council Grants Manager about Creative Communities funding,
