On the east coast of Australia it’s peak Fringe season – from Brisbane Festival’s Theatre Republic to the open-access chaos of the Sydney and Melbourne Fringe Festivals.
For indie artists, these festivals are a chance to get new work out there and seen. Sydney and Melbourne Fringe both offer more than 400 shows each through September, which adds up to a lot of very busy people. Especially if they’re working on more than one show.
