Applications to partake in NAF 2013 open
The National Arts Festival Fringe is unique in South Africa in that no selection criteria are applied - participation is open to everyone. The Fringe has mushroomed in size since its inception in 1979 when only ten events comprised the Fringe - it now consistently boasts over 400 events across all the arts genres. Disciplines include children's theatre, film, comedy, drama, physical theatre, dance, cabaret, visual art, performance poetry, music theatre, and the full scope of music genres.
"As always, we are looking forward to programming an exciting selection of productions. Artists who want to be part of the 2013 Fringe have until 18 January to get their forms in to us, and we are on hand before then to help with any questions they may have," manager Zee Nweba said.
Applications for the 2013 Fringe opened on Monday, 29 October 2012. All interested artists, performers, directors and producers can request application forms and information booklets from az.oc.lavitsefstralanoitan@egnirf, or telephone +27 (0)46 6031103. Forms are also available via the website www.nationalartsfestival.co.za/artists. The deadline for registration is Friday, 18 January 2013.
