The questions we expect, answered straight.
No. We're our own festival with our own rules. If the existing Fringe wants to adopt the same proposals, all the better.
Runs a festival in Melbourne from 29 September to 18 October.
It's a project of afaircut.org. See the About page for who's on the board, however we need more help!
No. They're proposals, not finished policy. We're holding a town hall to talk them through with artists, producers, venues and supporters, and we'll publish any changes that come out of it.
Nothing binding. It's a public count of who's in. You can withdraw any time. We'll open official registrations soon.
Not this year. From year two on, yes: published, reasonable, fair.
A festival-managed venue is one the festival itself runs alongside programming shows and giving out awards. We think that's too many conflicts of interest in one chair. See our proposals to learn more.
Publishing attendance is the simplest enforcement mechanism we could think of. We'll pilot a programme that's fair.
Every festival takes a share of ticket sales to fund the support artists rely on. Ours is fixed at five percent and will never rise. Locking the rate means the festival can't quietly grow its take year after year.
No. Come to both. We're not asking anyone to choose. We just want a festival that works for artists and producers, and that means building one.
Register your interest as a supporter! Share. Show up at the festival.
