If over 50 performances weren’t enough for you, we’ve put together a selection of workshops and events for theatre makers, dance artists and performers throughout the week of the Plymouth Fringe Festival. These are open to artists whether presenting work at the festival or not and should be lively environments in which to discuss, learn and meet new people.
All events are free to attend but, if you are able to let us know that you’re coming, then it would help us to have an idea of numbers. To do so, please email tom@wemaketoast.org
