Launchpad - Tech for Indie Artists
The Fringe Intensive Workshop Series
Part 1: Designing a Tourable Show on a Budget
How do you make a show that looks great, packs small, and survives the road? This masterclass dives into design choices that support touring realities, from flexible sets and costumes to smart technical choices. Artists will learn how to balance creativity, durability, and affordability while designing work that can adapt across venues and festivals.
Part 2: Lights, Sound & Simplifying the Booth
Tech doesn’t have to be intimidating. This session demystifies lighting and sound for indie Artists, focusing on simple, effective design choices that work across Fringe venues. Learn how to communicate clearly with technicians, streamline your tech needs, and design shows that are tech-light but artistically strong.
Launchpad is Fringe Theatre’s hands-on professional development program designed to support independent Artists at every stage of their career. Whether you’re creating your first Fringe show or refining a tried-and-true touring practice, these masterclasses offer practical tools, peer learning, and real-world insight rooted in the DIY spirit of Fringe.
