Past Workshops & Events

Soaring Solo’s SOLO LAB, workshops FOR Solo Artists BY Solo Artists. This webinar focuses on taking your Solo Show to Edinburgh Fringe.

This webinar will focus on the Edinburgh Fringe, aka the largest arts festival in the world.

With 3,500+ shows, producing your production can seem overwhelming. Where do you start?

Luckily, there are a lot of resources to help you – if you just know where to look.

Whether you’re headed to Edinburgh Fringe in the next performance cycle, curious about going in the future, or interested in ‘dipping a toe’ to learn more – join me for an overview of performing at Edinburgh Festival Fringe and top tips I’ve learned in 3 cycles of participating as a performer.

Award-winning Solo Artist, Diana Varco will share available resources, offer insight to help soften your learning curve, and leave time for a Q&A at the end!

You’ll learn:

What. Where. Why. When. How.

  • What – What is Edinburgh Festival Fringe and what opportunities can the festival bring to you and/or your show?
  • Where – Where is everything? Learn the lay of the land w/ a brief overview of the city layout and performance venues
  • Why – Why go? Define your objectives
  • When – Timeline for production and performance – what to do when
  • How – How to approach the festival before, during and after your run

Bring questions for a live Q+A discussion at the end!

Diana will share what she has learned and what she wished she had known before performing at Edinburgh Fringe!
