45 Artist Events Registered

The deadline for artist registrations for the 2012 Dunedin Fringe Festival closed on 18 November with 45 events across all art forms registered. This shows a fantastic level of support for the Festival with artists from throughout New Zealand and overseas taking part in what will be a vibrant and comprehensive programme.

Theatre is a particularly strong category for the 2012 Festival with comedy, physical theatre, improv, clowning, and street based performance all present. Many theatre shows will take place in the Fortune and Globe Theatres which have been programmed with multiple shows every night of the Festival. The visual arts is also well represented in the Festival as is comedy, dance and music.

Eight outstanding comedians have been confirmed for the Festival’s Comedy Club and the Festival Club's programme of music and cabaret performance is looking very promising. Altogether we will have 50 events featuring over 250 artists from New Zealand and around the world and we can't wait to bring this to Dunedin audiences.

The 2012 Dunedin Fringe Festival will take place from 15-25 March with the official programme published on 16 February.
