The Culinary-Hospitality Advancement Mentorship Program (CHAMP) was developed by FringeArts in partnership with the School District of Philadelphia. In its inaugural year, this program consisted of chef demonstrations, restaurant visits, internships, and professional development opportunities for over 650 high school students enrolled in the School District’s thirteen Culinary/Hospitality Arts programs. We will be continuing to grow this program each year through the continued support from sponsorship and our FEASTIVAL partners. Embracing the culinary arts as a part of FringeArts seems like a natural next step as it allows us to work more closely with and support those restaurateurs that have been our partners for the past 14 years.

Funicular Circus

The Give & Take Jugglers

We're taking the circus out of the arena, out of the tent, & into the landscape. We explore connections to trees and the sky. We draw attention to the space between light and wind - highlighting that we're all literally supported by our trees and rivers and believe we need to be good stewards.

Give and Take has been a consistent hit with both children and adults for over 40 years. Our highly interactive, comedic show uses traditions from vaudeville, circus arts, theater, and music to create a lively and wholesome performance that feels fresh and contemporary.

Stuck in someone else's dream? Watch your step. Find a guide. Break the frame. Tangle's acrobatic storytellers push through unexpected portals on trapeze and aerial silks in an immersive circus-theater fantasy, inverting relationships from the heights of rivalry to the depths of intimacy.

A circus of words, a flight to nowhere, a desperate attempt to make meaning in an unrelentingly confusing world. Almanac's newest -- and largest ever ensemble acrobatic show -- explores the lengths we'll go to change our language rather than change ourselves.

Reception

Rose Luardo

Nick Gillette Improv

Splish splash! Pull back the shower curtain and enter the realm of the shapeshifter in this kaleidoscopic bathtub. This wet & wild metaphorical tub trip is all about glimpsing characters who are letting it hang out and don't even know to cover it up. Drink the bathwater.

In 2014, the first interstellar object ever sighted near our sun mysteriously changed course and tumbled away. Soon after, voices purporting to originate from Vega poured uncontrollably from the mouth of a local performing artist. Probing the intentions of the audience, this channeling walks a tightrope between a supernatural or psychological explanation. From Nick Gillette, winner of 2021's FringeArts audience choice award for best comedy.

Crossroads Comedy Theater Using tropes of romantic comedies, the hilarious cast will create a completely improvised unlikely love story right before your eyes. Featuring hopeless romantics, klutzes, uptight bosses, players, journalists on assignment, free spirits, and more! No script. No props. No idea what's gonna happen.

Bower Bird

Gunnar Montana Productions

Lillian McGonigle

Yao Xu

Emily Mayer

In this semi-autobiographical solo, McGonigle amalgamates herself into a version of her once seminarian father. Doing so, she fuses fragments of alternate histories that interrogate the notion of family. Recalling what existed, and grieving what almost was, BLAZE investigates the carnage of growing up, and sifts through what remains.

The Body Politic explores how individuals develop bodily techniques to negotiate with rigid regulations in totalitarian social environments. We question how highly concentrated power trickles down to private life and how tactics such as coercion, isolation, and fear-mongering affect the ways the physical bodies occupy time and space.

What's the best way to learn about sexual dimorphism and evolutionary biology? With a drag show, of course! Meet the Bower Bird: nature's fine, feathered, landscape architect. He has a collection of sexy bottle caps that he hopes you'll like very much.

Cognatus investigates ecofeminism and the patriarchal mechanisms that assimilate women and nature. Both often devalued and exploited, seeking elevation and liberation, the relationship between them is a rhizome of interconnections. Created in collaboration with the dancers, Fishel uses history and theory, combined with text and poetry to weave movements that explore ideas of chaos, migration, resistance, and identity.

Feeling Red

Forgotten Solo

HAIR

Savi Stevenoski with Continuum Dance Company

Kat Brown

Hillary Pearson

Forgotten Solo is a performance work that calls upon repetition and temporal practices to engage with questions of embodied alienation, relationality and absence. The work takes the idea of forgotten as a felt experience of absence and seeks to uncover how this absence can be a site of embodied realization.

A HAIR-raising experience of movement being influenced, maniputated and exaggerated from the hair on the dancers heads. Acting as catalyst for the movement, HAIR essentially explores the physicality of ones head of hair as it's own form of movement within the body. How can our hair become the dance and our bodies act as a respndent?

DANCE

Feeling Red brings color to movement and dance. Choreographer, Savi Stevenoski, sees color when listening to music. A phenomenon know as synesthesia. Red is deep and soulful. Red is a big, broad, strong color that symbolizes much more than anger and love. Feeling Red transcribes the color red into movement, into something that the dancers and audience are able to feel.

An Untitled Love

vapors

Vehement

A.I.M by Kyle Abraham

Megan Mazarick

a. dance theatre

Drawing from the catalogue of Grammy Award-winning R&B legend D'Angelo, this creative exaltation pays homage to the complexities of self love and Black love, while serving as a thumping mixtape celebrating our culture, family, and community.

vapors is a science fiction dance theater piece about time travel. The dancers embody the past, present, and future while pausing and rewinding each other. Movement imagery comes from music box mechanics, 80's infomercials, the physics of freewill, and substances diffused in air. Built using imaginative improvisation practices and rhythmic text, vapors blends crackpot futurism and contemporary dance.

Dark, sexual, passionate. Come on an introspective journey that captures the facets of growing upfighting personal demons, breaking generational cycles, and navigating relationships with lovers, others, and yourself.

Shakespeare On Tap

Annie Dorsen

This Is Not A Theatre Company

Yannick Trapman-O'Brien

The audience is invited to perform speeches as they would ordinarily perform songs in a karaoke bar. This participatory event plays with the legacy of spoken artifacts, treating snippets and snatches of public address like a Top 40 radio of collective discourse.

Trees talk! In a landmark study, a scientist learned everything about how trees communicate. Or did she? One tree tells the story of what really happened, reminding us that human beings and plants live in one interconnected ecosystem. Presenting the world’s first play told entirely from the point of view of a tree.

Undersigned is a psychological thriller for an audience of one. While the ongoing production is available by invitation only, this experience is releasing a limited number of public slots for Fringe Audiences who dare to venture as much as they seek to gain.

A triptych set in the crucible of the American South, Effigy explores our fractured legacy of riot, race, and revolution.

Recollection is an interactive, dancetheatre piece that contemplates how life experience and the passage of time can simultaneously shape us and break us down. Incorporating the five senses, contact improvisation, olives, original music, and suitcases, a group of wanderers reinvent Sunflower Philly and take you on a journey of forgotten memories.

Join us for the most famous love story ever told! This intimate production will reimagine Romeo and Juliet for the modern stage, questioning whether our fate is truly written in the stars or held in the hands of our environment, experiences and choices.

Ronnie is a snail. He lives in a shower drain, and one day, he climbs out into the bathtub. In this new world, he discovers a life full of light, soap, cucumbers, and water falling from the sky. And you're in luck, because he's taking you along. Come see the life of a snail inside a bathtub.

SPEECH

Spruce Street

Lightning Rod Special

Allison Kelly

A satirical scrutiny of the free speech debate and the rapidly shifting terrain of civil discourse within our hypervisible social-media-centered world. Characters careen through different microcosms of American culture in a searing look at how trepidation and performativity infect all aspects of our lives.

Alice receives a cryptic collect call from her dead brother. Determined to reach him, she embarks on a metaphysical journey through airwaves, VHS tapes, and dreams. Spruce Street, an exploration of grief, nostalgia, death, and consequently, love, is also a warning- that being human comes with spiritual and emotional costs.

The Squid and The Octopus

Threnody

Time as a Symptom

Topside

Jim Julien

Threnody Collective

The Bean-Jam Project

Theater in Quarantine

Threnody is an original theatrical performance that hopes to understand, dissect and undercut our society's relationship to individual grief, collective grief, and the ways in which we can inspire and support one another through hard times. Threnody was created with support from The University of the Arts/Pig Iron School and was first shared publicly at the Philadelphia Arts Bank in December 2021.

Interacting on the subway can be... challenging. Luckily on The Below, you have infinite (and infinitesimal) time to make a connection. Time as a Symptom is a short play about what it means to be humans in a liminal space where nothing is real and the train may never come.

The Squid and The Octopus, created and performed by Jim Julien, is a very intimate cephalopod adventure, a shadow puppet show (with knives!) MAAS Cottage 1320 N 5th St Kensington-Fishtown Sep 8 at 6pm + 8pm Sep 9 at 6:30pm + 8:30pm Sep 11 at 4pm + 7pm Sep 12 + 13 at 8pm $20 / 60 minutes

Unorthodox Methods of Cosmic Flight

When All Else Fails: or, Why Not Choose Me?

Anastassia Vertjanova and Annemarie Branco

Madeline Shuron

How to build a slingshot big enough to shoot yourself into the cosmos: A comical journey of begrudging allies, a few Big Questions, and no helpful answers. Theatre and Installation Art combine into a show for anyone who has ever looked up at the night sky and felt the incomprehensible need to go. Part of the Launch Point Gallery.

Ashley W. is looking for the one and she's tired of settling - but you sure could! Taking cues from ABC's "The Bachelor" and other reality dating shows, When All Else Fails is a clownish exploration on love and our human tendency to overromanticize it.

Wine in the Wilderness

Upstream Performance Collaborative X Cannonball

1960s Harlem, Bill paints towards Black Pride; Tommy's living it. Alice Childress invites the Black community into an uncompromising conversation about what it means to love ourselves, and what we are willing to give up to truly love each other. The PAC collaborates with TheBlackBestFriend for its 11th Fringe.

Two Gods bring two mortals to their home to have dinner and share stories - their evening is thrown violently off-course by their cousin and his forest dwelling cultists in this myth about what separates a human and a deity. Join us for a stagedreading of this new play by Arthur Robinson.

Coven

Forever Never Lasts

Courtney Colón

See/Hear Now Pop-Up Enterprises Worldwide

Coven is a loud declaration responding to the blatantly oppressive assault on abortion rights across America. Driven by a call to action, we will test the limits of physical and mental endurance, creating dialogue around access dismantled and overturning a civil right. Coven is about being seen.

Time is fleeting. Everything is on the clock. But! There's a possibility of infinite cycles. Three visual artists including Shannon Cronin, Derek Ayres, and Christine Walinski offer artworks that consider this premise and the liberation that comes with recognizing the temporal for what it is: endless, dependable, inevitable change.

In this exhibit, artist and photographer, Phineas K. Gage pulls back the thin veil of reality to peer into Forgotten Lore Theatre's immersive world, Evermore. In his unique style, Gage's images and abstractions give voice to a dark and inexpressible reality devised from the interwoven imaginations of some of history's greatest literary minds.

Dirty Words

Lightning Come

MARLEN PUELLO

NAIL74

Kalila Kingsford Smith

A young professor who has enjoyed toeing the ethical boundaries with his charm over his students finds himself shackled in an otherworldly basement, forced to face up and face off with his greatest foe.

Art is a powerful tool to think and reflect freely. To be able to choose, to be able to protect ourselves. A possibility of giving answers to those circumstances where words are absent or are imprisoned by the impossibility of naming and they need other pedagogical tools to see the world.

Her son is dead. Her daughter is a mystery. Her husband has a secret life. Beatrice, a Caribbean American woman journeys through memory, grief, ghosts and fantasy to find her way home. Written by Keila Cordova. A digital play reading on Zoom.

A short dance film and an invitation to move: this creature draws you out, barefoot, into wet grass, squidgy mud, running water. Let your feet, then your body, respond to the feel, sliding, squishing, flowing. Open the door to your inner animal and respond to sensations, to textures, to instincts.

Medicine Meditation

Next Chapter

The Highland Lakes Players

Severin Blake

Three Sheets

Maybe Tomorrow by Raymond V. Whelan. Performed by The Highland Lakes Players including, Sebastian Garcia, Samantha Levine and Whelan. Early morning hours before Hurricane Hanna strikes Corpus Christi, Texas, three folks fish at Bob Hall Pier. One still life with moving parts. One short story about searching for health, love, respect, wealth. Whatever comes first.

Medicine Meditation: Water is part ritual, part visual/sound installation, and participatory workshop with touch points in science, spirituality, ancestry, and healing. A shared space of amplified thoughtfulness, reflection, and rest. Participants are given meditation prompts and invited to contribute to a living digital tradition. Medicine Meditation: Water is the first in a study of the elements Water, Fire, Earth, Nature, and Mineral.

In this one on one telephone performance, you'll meet the voice of someone who wants to tell you a story. A short story, by Oscar Wilde, set to the rhythm of your day and against the backdrop of a moment when so many of us seek to relearn human connection. The performance lasts about 25 minutes, and is performed by many voices (though always one on one and live). Each voice that reads to you belongs to someone who loves art, wishes they had more time, and who hasn't stopped hoping and dreaming. Suitable for ages 10+

“I love the welcoming atmosphere and opportunities to work on specialized skills.” -Jillian (student) “I was one of two students who was not either a social worker, a therapist, a social work student, or a psychology student.
