M1 Singapore Fringe Festival announces the international call for proposals for the 2013 festival (16-27 January 2013) on the theme of Art & Entertainment.

The M1 Singapore Fringe Festival is an annual festival of theatre, dance, music, visual arts and mixed media created and presented by Singaporean and international artists. Themed differently each year, the Festival aims to bring the best of contemporary, cutting-edge and socially-engaged works to the Singapore audience.

Why should I participate in the Fringe?

The M1 Singapore Fringe Festival is an exciting festival that is all-inclusive, covers a range of art forms, and is one of the few festivals in Singapore with a strong curatorial identity. Through the Fringe, we aim to present the best of contemporary, cutting-edge and socially-engaged works to the Singapore audience.
Furthermore, the Fringe positions itself as a creative centre, with the twin-purpose of innovation and discussion, whilst providing a platform for meaningful and provocative art to engage our increasingly connected and complex world.
Through the Fringe, you will be able not only to reach out to new audiences in Asia and the region, but also to tap upon our organisational and production expertise in the presentation of your work. You will also get to rub shoulders with fellow artists, promoters and directors from all over the world, and this should present itself as a wonderful networking opportunity, as well as a space for discourse and explorations into future collaboration.

How do I take part at the Fringe?

In order to take part at the M1 Singapore International Fringe Festival, you need to consider, first and foremost, if your proposed work is relevant to the theme for the Festival. The Necessary Stage curates each Fringe Festival based on a specific theme, and while the interpretation of the subject may be very wide, it is imperative that your work address an aspect of the theme as much as possible.

If you consider your work to be appropriate for the theme, you should download the application form, which can be found on the website here.
