The selected works featured in this year’s Fringe are inherently process-based and collaborative. Buffer Fringe is committed to creating a fertile network through which local and international artists as well as audiences can exchange and develop ideas. In order to support these goals, we have created this online platform in which artists will publish information about their work and document their process during the months leading up to the festival in December 2020.

In light of an ever increasing need for digitized documentation in the performing arts due to COVID-19, the platform hopes to introduce more physically distant methods of sharing and increase accessibility to the works and the festival as a whole.
