This year the Castlemaine Fringe turns 21. The Fringe takes place in the shadow of the State Festival and runs from March 15 – 24 in houses, pubs and venues around town. The Fringe focuses on inclusion and community so most of the acts are local and often free.
In order to make the festival totally interactive and inclusive this year they are asking the public to participate in a web 3.0 experiment – and they are giving YOU the keys.
Alongside the beautiful website at http://castlemainefringe.org.au/ The Fringe is running a ning http://castlemainefestival.ning.com/ ; which is a cross between facebook, a website, and a blog where you can have your own page. Where the views and audience can become actively involved in the festival. Post your views, images and videos of the fringe and it can even be done while having a coffee at local cafes on their WiFi Hotspots.
Site administrator Peter Shaw- Truex says, “The site will host blogs from roving reporters, Including I believe a well know cook, aristocracy from Taradale and other glitterati from Castlemaine and abroad. The site is designed to keep visitors, viewers, artists and supporters of the fringe involved, active and up to date with the latest news during the festival and It’s free to join”.
They Need You to Volunteer to fill roles as hosts, stage crew, door, lift and carry and maybe even as a MC. If interested contact Brett on bhproductions@hotmail.com
