Appropriate Content The content of a showcase performance must be suitable for the public arena. While we encourage diversity and do not want to compromise the integrity of your work, the stage will be accessible to all sections of the community, including children. Any content that may offend or be inappropriate cannot be included in your showcase performance. This includes, but is not limited to, swearing, nudity and explicit sexual references. Know Your Audience The Rundle Mall audience are mostly mall pedestrians - i.e. not necessarily seated and waiting for a show to start. It is important to consider these types of audiences and how to attract, capture and convert them from passers-by to interested ticket buyers. We have hosts, seating, shade and a great ambience to attract the crowds, but it’s up to you as the performer on the stage to capture the public’s attention for your own benefit. Shape Your Segment – Sharp! Slick! Successful! Prepare your promo piece to suit the walk-past audience, think about adapting your piece, perfecting your lure and catch techniques, make your point, make it crisp - you only have a few minutes to wow your crowd so practice and prepare. Work it baby work it! We’ll be in touch again soon with some great pro-tips on how to pull your audience in. For events that do not have a suitable live performance content (i.e. visual artists and live performances that don't translate to a street-theatre style space), consider alternative mediums to promote your event; for example, an artist interview, a demonstration, a 2-for-1 ticket giveaway game, etc. Our fabulous hosts and your program coordinator will be able to help you prepare your presentation in advance. Public Liability Insurance Showcase events with physical audience interaction, or containing dangerous acts such as fire breathing, weapons, etc. will be required to fully disclose the nature of their event and provide proof of public liability insurance. Please note: Fringe in the Mall is a free-to-register opportunity for unpaid promotional Fringe performances only. No external busking or spruiking for payment of any kind is allowed. If you want to discuss any of this please contact your Program Coordinator Jennifer Kingwell at 08 8100 2052 or [email protected].
