1 WEEK SLOT AT KIPPIES
The Market Theatre invites applications from artists and creatives of all live-performance disciplines to take up a 1-week slot at Kippies. This year’s Kippies Fringe Programme will again be curated by The Art Cave. We are looking for dynamic artists with small-scale works in any form, including spoken word, stand-up comedy, poetry, music, and fringe theatre.
Successful applicants will be given a free
1-week slot to perform between 2 – 5 shows on a 70/30 door split in favour of the artists. The theatre will provide basic technical support, ticketing services, and limited support with publicity and marketing. This is a great opportunity for artists who are interested in showcasing their talent, in testing a new work, in presenting Fringe-scale performances, or in trying out a performance with the support of one of the most renowned theatres in South Africa.
Slots will be allocated from mid-June with a maximum of two slots available per month. In total, 12 slots are available up until December, 2026. This year we especially welcome applications aligned with Pride, Women’s Month and works for young audiences.
Submissions, along with more details, go live on our website on 1 April 2026.
Application Deadline: 19 April 2026.
