WELCOME Kerri Glasscock Festival Director and CEO

Sydney Fringe turns ten this year. Let’s take a moment to have a little pause and reflect on that, for in our world, the independent arts sector of Sydney that is quite an achievement. We have survived under trying times: gentrification, rising cost of living, lock-out laws, loss of venues and all the usual pressures a great global city places on its creatives. We have thrived because this city is home to the most resilient, inspiring, inventive and bold artists, creatives and venue operators you could ever meet, and this year we are giving them all the largest platform to make noise from that we have ever delivered. We are literally taking over the CBD from Circular Quay to Central Station, moving to the suburbs from Parramatta to North Sydney and with the help of new major partnerships, building more pop-up spaces and hubs than ever before. This is your city your way and we are delighted to be celebrating our tenth birthday with you.

Freya Smith Sydney Fringe Chair

Welcome to the 2019 Sydney Fringe Festival. It’s hard to believe that our festival is celebrating a decade of Fringe this year. That’s ten years of Sydney stories, supporting local artists, activating the City and championing our independent sector. We’ve come a long way since we started in a few venues around Newtown. Our annual program now includes over 2000 artists, performing and creating over 400 events and productions. We also now lead the way in year-round advocacy, working with Government to find lasting solutions to issues facing the independent sector. This is work we are immensely proud of and excited to be developing further as we enter our next decade. I do hope you enjoy this year’s Sydney Fringe Festival. It is an opportunity to support and celebrate local independent artists and venues who are the heart of our City’s cultural offering.

Clover Moore Lord Mayor of Sydney

On behalf of the City of Sydney, I am delighted to welcome you to the tenth annual Sydney Fringe Festival. The Fringe has been brightening the city for a decade with art and performances that push boundaries, showcase local talent and energise Sydney. This event has become an important part of Sydney’s cultural scene, and the largest independent arts festival in New South Wales. I commend festival organisers and participants for continuing to showcase some of the best, liveliest and most controversial music, theatre, comedy, visual art, dance, circus, film and literature on offer. I am sure this year’s Fringe will continue to inspire and entertain with its impressive program. The City of Sydney is a proud supporter of the festival. We appreciate the many opportunities it continues to provide for local and international artists to display their work, making the city a more exciting place to live and work. I wish Sydney Fringe Festival 2019 all the best with this important milestone.

Darcy Byrne

Mayor of the Inner West Welcome to the Tenth annual Sydney Fringe Festival. Sydney Fringe has become a vital part of our city’s cultural life over the past decade, allowing audiences young and old to experience Sydney’s vibrant contemporary art scene. As major partner for the Festival, this year we are pleased to present two exceptional events: The return of the Legs Hub of Physical Theatre and Circus in Lilyfield, including a world premiere development season of a new immersive experience, and the activation of the Australian Actors Centre site in the Leichhardt Forum as the official Dance Hub and home of the FRINGE KIDS program. Inner West Council is also proud to again present the EDGE Artist Development Award for the Sydney Fringe. This prize is for an emerging artist who will win $3,500 in prize money plus access to three weeks’ free rehearsal space in the Inner West. I'd like to congratulate all the hard-working artists, performers, organisers and volunteers for making this latest Sydney Fringe Festival uplifting and unforgettable. 1

AMBASSADORS Each year we ask a group of artists to champion our cause and spread the word of Fringe far and wide. We reach out to artists who inspire us, have influenced our way of thinking, have their own way of doing things, and unique voices that rise above the crowd. A CATCH AYEESH

Ayeesha Ash

"Independent art and an independent voice in the world are more important today than ever. In my experience, the independent arts scene gives voice and space to artists and communities who are often marginalised or silenced by main stream society. We need independent arts to start, and continue, uncomfortable and challenging conversations. The arts can provide a mirror to society and enable us to think about how far we have or haven't come. In this moment of global socio-political upheaval and climate change I think that's more important than ever." Ayeesha is a proud MÄ ori Grenadian woman, born in Grenada and raised in Meanjin/Brisbane. She is the Artistic Director of the highly acclaimed Black Birds and an interdisciplinary artist who seeks to spark social consciousness through her work. A graduate of WAAPA, Ayeesha has worked with the likes of Griffin, The Joan and PACT, performed in numerous Indi works and become a part of the FBi Radio Arts & Culture team.

Declan Kelly

"Independent Art and the voice of creatives are there to shake up mundane realities and to bust open the boxes within society. And most importantly to bridge what we perceive on earth and the divine." Decan Kelly was born in Sydney to an Irish father and Maori mother. Having two strong ancestral ties made it no wonder that creativity and music was running through his blood. He has forged a career as a formidable drummer playing with the likes of Bernard Fanning, Katie Noonan, Passenger and more. As a solo artist he has released a number of albums including Tales From The Neighbourhood and Adrift. His project Diesel N Dub features collaborations with Emma Donovan, Alex Lloyd and Radical Son playing reggae and dub versions of Midnight Oil songs, proceeds going to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation.

Minnie Cooper

"It’s important for independent artists to have a voice and a place where they can perform their work, to have visibility and show diversity. Their work may not be mainstream and the Sydney Fringe gives them a place to perform and maybe even change people’s way of thinking." Minnie was the reigning queen of Sydney’s premier nightclub Arq for fifteen years, producing award-winning shows and driving Sydney’s partygoers wild with excitement. She has produced and choreographed many large-scale spectacles at events such as Mardi Gras and Sleaze Ball, and has worked with stars including Jimmy Barnes, Kylie Minogue, Tina Arena, Kate Miller-Heidke, David Atkins, Todd McKenney, Rhonda Burchmore and Australia’s most famous drag performer, Carlotta. Minnie Cooper is a true legend and her superstar talent will leave you wanting more.

DJ Jazzy

"Being an independent artist is so powerful! I am not bossy I am the Boss #BossGirl…I have complete creative control over my craft, and I can release my work whenever I feel is best. It's also about reflecting on why I love making music my way. It also gives me the freedom to choose where my music is heard and how I spread my message. I love being an independent artist, as it means I’m able to stay true to myself at all times, expressing whatever musical form I am passionate about. I love the freedom to be able to experiment and develop my craft without any limits and with full creative control." DJ Jazzy is the new face and sound of music for our younger generation. DJ Jazzy is a super talented Producer, Singer, Songwriter, Dancer/Choreographer, Photographer, Filmmaker and family influencer with a passion for connecting and working with young people.

THE ROCKS HUB Celebrate Fringe at the first day of The Rocks Hub. Take a chalk walk through the markets and make a mark on the mural, join a free art workshop, enjoy a swing session in The Rocks Square and round off your Rocks Hub experience by joining Sydney Vintage Dance Studio in First Fleet Park to learn our Footloose flashmob choreography.

AERIALIZE OPEN DAY Take the family to Aerialize’s head-quarters in Canterbury for a full day of circus fun as they open up their training facility to the general public with workshops, demonstrations and shows. You'll be able to try circus skills like juggling, acrobatics, aerial hoop, tissu and trapeze, while celebrating the company’s 20th birthday.

FRINGE IGNITE Then head to Newtown for our annual opening party FRINGE IGNITE. This year in celebration of our tenth birthday, and the launch of the NEWTOWN PRECINT we are going head to head with the King Street Crawl crew who are programming venues on the North end of King Street while we program the shopfronts and cafes of the South end, that’s one long street of free gigs all afternoon.

LEGS HUB LAUNCH In the evening let’s get a little fancy to round off the night. Legendary physical theatre company Legs On The Wall are premiering their new work HILLBILLY THRILLER down at the LEGS HUB in Lilyfield. Plus it’s opening night of Yuck Circus. With their bloody good sense of humour, YUCK Circus rip into the uncomfortable, using high-flying acrobatics, absurd confessions, and some groovy dancing. Get ready to witness a powerhouse of female circus performers kick art in the face. 4

NEWTOWN PRECINCT Newtown is our spiritual home, it’s where the Sydney Fringe began a decade ago and in celebration of our tenth birthday we wanted to do something a little special for the independent heartland of Sydney. With the help of the State Government's ACTIVATE grant program we are shining a spotlight on this great precinct, amplifying our annual offerings and creating a few new extra special ones too. Our official opening party FRINGE IGNITE will take place down King Street. We’ve amped up our Innocent Bystander Touring Hub, expanding to two venues. Our Emerging Artist Sharehouse is back, where you can take part in the World’s Best/Worst House Party. Plus we are filling local businesses, shops and bars with live music and comedy.

WORLD’S BEST/WORST HOUSE PARTY 10-14 SEPTEMBER FREE

The flatmates have come together and are planning the world’s best house party at our Emerging Artist Share House. This immersive theatre event is half party, half theatre show and half house meeting. Yep three halves make one very fun night.

BABYLON PRESENTED BY TORTUGA STUDIOS & KENSINGTON ST

For one night only, as the light fades on Saturday 14th September, Chippendaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kensington Street will be transformed into a nighttime oasis that ripples with light, colour, movement and sound. A vespertine plot in the heart of the city, BABYLON is a refuge from the sharp edges of the built form, a verdant realm that extols the capricious glory of nature, and serves as a poignant reminder of what came before. Performance, live music, soundscapes and projections create a sensory, evocative world cast with delicate beauty, brought to you from some of Sydney's best and brightest independent artists. Bring the whole family drop into Spice Ally for a feed and step into a magical world of music, performance and light.

Our LEGS HUB returns for a second year thanks to the fine folk at Sydneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading physical theatre company LEGS ON THE WALL with support from the Inner West Council. Once again we will be transforming their state of the art training facility the Red Box Lilyfield into a performance hub. With live music and an al fresco bar, there is so much on offer down at the Hub. LEGS Artistic Director Joshua Thomson has curated a spectacular array of local and touring works, plus Legs on the Wall are presenting the world premiere of their new immersive production HILLBILLY THRILLER.

HILLBILLY THRILLER LEGS ON THE WALL

Picnic At Hanging Rock meets Wolf Creek meets Jedda, Hillbilly Thriller is an immersive bespoke site performance, stealing audience members from the safety of the bar, into its world, one at a time. Be Legs On The Wall’s guinea pig, as they test this new dirty scary sexy little physical theatre work on you. Is it a campsite, are you lost in the Australian wilderness or have you been ditched in an abandoned dumpsite? This highly physical work merges film, live performance, installation and soundscape. The audience’s sense of reality is skewed, are characters lost or left behind, perhaps disowned by society. A short sharp punch of an experience that lasts no more than 20 minutes. Audience is strictly limited to 10 people per performance.

Marrickville Metro will be home to local Sydney Artist Styna, aka Christina Huynh, who during the first week of September will be the artist in residence, creating a large scale painted mural inspired by travels to faraway places, storytelling and heritage.

Our friends at the iconic Pumphouse Sydney are partnering with us this year to showcase a line-up of Sydney’s best Rockabilly bands every Saturday night across the festival. This heritage building built in 1891 was once a pumping station and the heart and soul of Sydney’s power needs. With a food menu inspired by Americana, and a location that is quintessentially Sydney it is the perfect place to come together for a dance and prove this city is powered by creative culture, live music and healthy dose of Rock’n’Roll.

During the development process my idea for the show changed completely. I'm not exactly sure what it is yet. Can you help me figure it out?

Relativity is a musically induced acrobatic troupe. Using acrobatics, live music, science and spoken word 'Inertia: The First Law' is a fun, educational, hairrasing and thought-provoking show suitable for all ages and all interests. Change only happens when force is applied. All it takes is a little push.

ZOË SITAS - SORRY MAYBE PLEASE IF POSSIBLE

"HÅMLET" - A NEW AUSTRALIAN PLAY

Zoë's back and this time she's throwing out her script and doing something that genuinely terrifies her and gives her a thrill like no other: a fully improvised one woman show.

Returning after a well received season in 2018, with an update. This show is a meta-theatrical, truth bending explosion that sits firmly in an Australian theatrical landscape. Oscillating between humour and anguish, a troupe of actors, students and creatives trawl through a dire and hilarious phantasmagoria.
