This year the Curator process has been amended to allow for an even larger range of venue possibilities, and to accommodate even more types of, and better planned, performance activities. On one hand, this will encourage artists to actively participate in and plan activities geared toward invoking greater audience participation. On the other hand, it reflects our efforts to create a more comprehensive service platform for artists which includes marketing lectures, consultant teams, cross-cultural collaborations and opening day activities - all of which not only increase show quality, but also increase ticket sales and production ability.
2014's 7th Annual Taipei Fringe Festival takes it thematic undertones from 007's wacky behavior and intrepid sense of self-confidence with the goal of piquing the interest of the city's residents.From opening day on Saturday, August 30th to the final performances on Sunday, September 14th, let your dazzling light shine for the world to see!

Fringe

A brand new fringe festival in Taipei. Changing your imagination about the arts.

This is a new voice we aspire for this summer. The artists of the 61 creative groups assembled this ti,e are averagely as young as 30 years, who are going to perform in the forms of drama, dance, music, mimes, and even the very "jump-thinking" creative activities like fortune-telling and artistic wedding banquests. This formidable array of young creators will put on 166 show altogether to give us an independent and super cool Taipei Fringe Festival.
