Baltic Nordic Fringe Network - BNFN

Baltic Nordic Fringe Network - BNFN A one-stop shop to all current Baltic Nordic Fringe Network (BNFN) Festivals. We: ELEVATE THE LOCAL THROUGH THE GLOBAL by promoting NEW WORK FOR A NEW REALITY!

The Nordic Fringe Network (NFN) aims to simplify systems and provide economical touring opportunities for artists applying to one or more of the Fringe festivals in the Nordic region. WHY A NETWORK? From the humble launch of the Stockholm Fringe Festival (STOFF) in 2010, participating artists have expressed the desire to combine their “Stoffholm” visit with additional tour dates in the Nordic regi

on. Until now a touring theatre network in the Nordic region has not existed. WHO IS BEHIND IT? In 2016 team Stockholm Fringe Festival (STOFF) created the Nordic Fringe Network together with its younger sister festivals Gothenburg Fringe Festival (GOFF) and the Norway Fringe festival (NOFF), which nowadays is called Bergen Fringe Festival! In 2021, NFN boasts 13 festivals in 7 countries. Each festival has its own ecosystem. 7 of the 13 festivals are part of the 2022 artist call.

PRACTICAL INFO FOR PROSPECTIVE APPLICANTS

It’s not a requirement to do all NFN touring circuit festivals. Most acts are expected to do 1-2 of the festivals aligned with each other. NETWORK BENEFITS

The benefits of synchronizing all Nordic Fringe festival initiatives go hand in hand with our “many little streams create a river” approach in festival management. Working together will not only create a stronger and bigger Fringe movement in the Nordic region but also offer an attractive touring opportunity to local and global artists. Audiences will be offered high quality acts from across the globe. New work will reach a new and wider audience. Artists will be able to make their visit to the Nordic region more sustainable and economical. Overseas cultural institutes and embassy culture departments will be able to join forces with their sister branches in other Nordic countries to tour/support artists from their regions. FRINGE – A GLOBAL MOVEMENT

Similar networks exist in Canada and Australia where individual Fringe festivals align their festival dates and/or application process. NFN is part of WFN (World Fringe Network) with over 200 Fringe festivals across the globe.
