Media Alert - Sun 21st A protest performance
“Not the Fringe Parade”
The Fringe Festival is an arts insurance policy. It fosters the vitality of mainstream art. The fringe is the birthplace of tomorrowÂ’s ideas.
Traditionally the Fringe Festival has begun with the Brunswick St. ‘Fringe Parade’. This public event is an important opportunity for the community to get involved and a chance for people to feast their senses on the buffet of forthcoming artistic work.
The issue of public liability insurance has made it impossible for the ‘Fringe Parade’ to take place as an (official) event Fringe Festival.
The independent artists involved with the Melbourne Fringe Festival strongly feel the loss of the ‘Fringe Parade’ and the effect that its absence has had on the profile of the festival. In an act of reclaiming their lost property performers are banding together to create a protest parade, “Not the Fringe Parade”. This event will use satire to provide conservatism with an example of one of the things the fringe has always been about – The Art of Protest.
Come along and help restore fringe art to its rightful place
12.00 - March from Cr. of Brunswick and Gertrude St. down to Alexandra Parade.
1.00 - Public Speakers: Rod Quantock, Kieren Carroll (winner of last yearÂ’s fringe award) addresses the issue of Freedom in Art
1.30 - Free Performances (please register at contacts below)
This protest is an excellent opportunity to show your belief in fringe art. It is also a chance for artists to get some exposure. Show your solidarity by marching or performing for the people or just come along and enjoy the party.
This event not is not just for fringe artists it is for everyone with something that needs to be said in public. To register youÂ’re interest in marching or performing contact:
