I THINK YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT APPLYING
I’ve probably posted this before, but I’ll post this AGAIN, because (a) deadline’s getting closer and (b) I want to apply but don’t really know how to frame my application.
I want to explore the more alternative/fringe arts. Burlesque obviously but also circus, cabaret, guerilla theatre, slam poetry…what else is there?
If you were planning the Foreign Freak’s Fringe Fantasy what would you put in?
