When is the Festival?
The festival will open on Indigenous Peoples Day, June 21, 2021 with a special event. This will be followed by several days of workshops and rehearsals and Festival Performances that will take place over 4 days in June, 2021.
Where will performances take place?
All shows will be either in the Nozhem: First Peoples Performance Space, a 100 seat black box theatre in the Enwaayang Building at Trent University or outdoors on the adjacent grounds.
How many performances will there be?
We anticipate accepting 8 companies into the festival, 2 for outdoor performances and 6 for indoor performances. All shows must be 60 minutes or less. Each company will have 5 performance times. So 40 shows in 5 days!
What is a Fringe Festival?
It is an unjuried, uncensored festival for independent performers in theatre, dance, music and comedy. Participants send in applications and are chosen by lottery. Performers receive 100% of the box office proceeds. NIFF is proud to be a member of the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals.
What’s different about NIFF?
All the performers/performance companies in this festival will have a majority of Indigenous artists. Artists will be supported by senior Indigenous artists as mentors and we will hold a variety of gatherings and workshops as well as the performances.
