The TK Fringe is an unjuried, uncurated and unboring performing arts festival that champions accessibility, experimentation, and community. This year's festival features 17 unique shows, bringing together an exciting lineup of original performances from local and visiting artists. Whether you catch a single show or immerse yourself in the full festival experience, there's something for everyone.

Join writer/filmmaker Bojana Babić for a creative writing workshop that explores how everyday observations can become the foundation for compelling stories. Through a guided walk along the Tett's waterfront, participants will gather inspiration from the people, movement, conversations, architecture, and small moments that often go unnoticed. Using a series of observation and writing prompts, participants will transform these details into the beginnings of a scene or narrative, exploring how setting, character, atmosphere, and moments of tension emerge from lived experience.
