Detroit's
Fringe Festival: Saturday April 5, 2008 2pm - 4am April 6, 2008
Established in 2007, The Detroit Fringe Festival was a collaboration of Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts , CPop Gallery , Cranbrook Academy of Art's Artist-in-Residence, Elloiot Earls and Frank Nemecek Filmworks.
This genre-busting , mixed-medium celebration of extreme artistic expression featured D Fuse, Causing A Scene, CPop Gallery, Elloiot Earl's "The Saranay Motel", The Goose Commander, MYO's Garden of Reason from Los Angeles , Plunk from London , Mia Makela-aka "SOLU" from Barcelona and New York's Electric Dinosaurs-Darwin to name only a handful of some of the exciting, adventurous and thought-provoking performers who took part in one of the quirkiest events of the year.
The
thirty hour long party included dancing, eye-popping visual art, DJ's,
a talk show, Tella Tubby Twister and a "Green Eggs and Ham" breakfast.
Beginning April 5th at 2pm The Detroit Fringe Festival presents an astounding array of artists, performers and subcultural experimenters, who for thirty-two straight hours will rattle the cages of convention in music, dance and art as they blur the boundaries of the artistic status quo- all under one roof.
fringe : noun [ frinj ] members of a group or organization
