September is a celebration of culture as the Sydney Fringe Festival 2015 descends upon the city. The full program has now been revealed for the five- week arts festival, with 300 productions spanning theatre, music, comedy, visual art, film, cabaret, musical theatre, dance, circus, literature and poetry across over 50 venues.
A festival first, 2015 Sydney Fringe presents a Festival Village in Erskineville including pop‐up spaces and street activations breathing creative energy into the streetscapes of the Inner-West.
The 2015 festival will see a succession of five weekly themes, opening with ‘The Inner City’, followed by ‘The Festival Heart’ in week two and ‘The Treats Continue’ in week three. The fourth week is focused on family events and closing week is dubbed as ‘The Last Days’.
Highlights of the Festival Program include Berlin Performance artist Peter Baecker ‘living’ in three locations across the festival. Creating living installations and generating good vibes across Sydney, Baecker’s main home at Broadway, Sydney’s CBD from 7th September, is a place for Fringe audiences and city visitors to interact with the International performer and become a part of the Sydney Fringe creative process.
Yoke Pop-Up Magazine will present a series of events as part of Pop-Up Fringe. Partnering with Artereal Gallery, Yoke brings a series of provocative artist-‐led conversations and performances. Other events will include Yoga Under The Stars, a Beautiful Pages pop-‐up store, Your Gut Feeling – a panel discussion with health and food gurus and The Ultimate Balancing Act – a free event with Sydney Fringe Director Kerri Glasscock and other women on the work-‐life balance.
Spanning the five weeks of Sydney Fringe Festival will also be a range of Artist Master Classes, including lessons on creating terrariums, candle-making and resin jewellery-making.
