Dublin Fringe Festival invites submissions for its 2009
programme
The 15th Dublin Fringe Festival invites submissions for its
annually anticipated, culture jammed line-up of contemporary arts
this September.
This year, the Fringe sees itself as the platform for works
which confront, embrace and defy this year of remarkable change and
challenges. From celebrating the fresh re-emergence of DIY culture
to reclaiming more empty spaces, experimental theatre and
performance to experiential arts on a grand and minute scale, to
arts on the street and in even more unexpected places, the Fringe's
2009 programme will not shy away from exploration of where we are
and how we got here; as a city, nation and international community
of makers, doers, seers and thinkers.
Closing deadline for applications is: Friday 3 April.
The Dublin Fringe Festival runs from September 5 - 20. All
application details can be found at www.fringefest.com or dublinfringefestival.blogspot.com
