The Plan

Version 2.0

There are three types of performance**:

  • Soapbox: an informal presentation with a maximum time of 20 minutes including any Q&A. These are held in alcoves off the main Playfair Library, and each will accommodate up to a dozen people. These are ideal for someone who has a complex poster they want to talk about, or has been working on an in-house project, or has some in-progress work they want to demo & get feedback on.
  • An Audience With....: A more formal presentation, looking at a 30 minute slot (including Q&A), with a projector and rows of chairs.
  • Group Improv.: A mix of Birds of a Feather sessions and (informal) Panel Sessions, these are hour-long slots where some more in-depth discussion can take place. These sessions will be in separate rooms, and can accommodate groups with a range of sizes.


Note: Soapbox stations will have a performer's hat in them. Everyone will be given some tokens at registration, and you are encouraged to vote for the best performances. A Fringe Comedy style Top Hat Awards Ceremony will be held at the drinks reception on the first evening.

Go see The_Sessions and add your own! (Note: at this late date, please send a message to [1]repofringe@gmail.com if you wish to add a new performance.)
