Artist development at the Fringe
Coming to the Fringe provides an opportunity to expand your skills, meet new people and to develop your career beyond the Fringe.
Our Artist Development team, based at Fringe Central, are here to help you in your professional ambitions at the Fringe. We can help if you are looking to find an agent or producer or just want some advice about giving your show life after the Fringe or developing your career.
Our Artist Development team work year round to provide advice and services including:
- a programme of online events on Fringe Connect that are designed to further support participating artists
- targeted lists of industry members who may be of interest to you, and who may be interested in your show
- one-to-one sessions to discuss your goals and ambitions for your show, both during and after the Fringe ends, and how to achieve them
- advice face-to-face, over email, video call and / or telephone, covering various topics including networking; finding an agent, programmer or producer; and touring
- a programme of in-person events at Fringe Central throughout August.
If you are planning your Fringe journey and wish to discuss your goals and objectives in order to make the most of the Artist Development services, please get in touch with us at artistadvice@edfringe.com so that we can advise and support you in the best way possible.
