Voices from the South is a new international showcase premiering 15 new performance works from Brazil, India, Mexico and South Africa – all online. Presenting for the first time at the Fringe, the work of the artists featured in the showcase span performance art, theatre, music, digital and multi-disciplinary performance. Police Scotland offer specific advice for attendees of festivals and other major events, including: There has never been a more important time to support those at the very heart of the festival – the artists themselves. The Fringe is recognised as one of the most important cultural events on the planet, with performers from 68 countries appearing in venues across Edinburgh this August. This is a key moment to support them by going to see work across the variety of genres. The showcase project was envisioned as a slow-working exchange and conversation between the artists while exploring the possibility of breaking down significant barriers of connectivity, geographical distances and language differences faced by artists from these regions when it comes to participating in the Edinburgh Fringe. The artists took part in a one-year period of exchange and conversation while preparing to present their work online at the Fringe in 2023.

The theme for this year’s programme cover and the wider Fringe marketing campaign is Fill Yer Boots, which is defined by the Collins English Dictionary as a phrase meaning, ‘to get as much of something valuable or desirable as you can’– a message that encapsulates the unrivalled range and diversity of the incredible shows on offer at the Fringe. This also applies if shows are at the same venue – many venues have multiple performance spaces, and it can take time to exit one show and join the queue for another (especially if you want to grab some food, visit the bar or use the facilities in-between).Online shows are available to watch from August but can be pre-booked once their listing is published on edfringe.com.

In addition, two great festival-time additions will give users the option to enable notifications for when their next show is about to start and to try thenew ‘Shake to Search’ function, which will provide users with a random show suggestion simply by shaking their phone.

For certain parts of the day, decide what you’re going to focus on, and focus solely on that one thing," she says. "I put things into my calendar, and when I do that thing, I do that only. As much as you can, do one thing at one time and schedule it in your calendar. I even have my morning walks and my meditation in my calendar. If you think about it, when you’re doing six or seven things at one time, your energy is fragmented among those six or seven things, so it’s going to take you six times longer to do each of those tasks. But if you focus on one task at a time before moving to the next, you’ve got fully focused energy that’s not fragmented. And that’s how you become more efficient and save more time and energy."The Fringe Society are hosting schools, community groups and disabled musicians (alongside Drake Music Scotland, who are providing support for disabled musicians) on the Fringe Taster Stage on the weekend 24 – 26 August. This is a great opportunity for local performers to take part in the Fringe. One of the delights of the Fringe is discovering something completely unexpected, so while it's a good idea to book in advance for any shows you don't want to miss, we'd recommend leaving some gaps to squeeze in those unpredictable word-of-mouth wonders. Launched in 2009, the Made in Scotland programme is a collaboration between the Fringe Society, the Federation of Scottish Theatre, Scottish Music Centre and Creative Scotland, showcasing the best in homegrown dance, theatre and music with 18 artists, companies and ensembles presenting their work this year across nine venues. To date over 100 shows have gone on through the onward touring opportunities it offers, visiting over 44 countries around the world. This is only made possible thanks to ongoing support from the Scottish Government’s Festivals EXPO Fund. During the Fringe Festival, a bunch of outdoor and indoor spaces get creatively converted into social spaces. I loved the trellis and fairy-light-filled Underbelly beer garden in Bristo Square – the perfect place to chill out with a drink before a show.
