"For as long as there has been fire, Mob have gathered around it. To dance, to connect, to perform ceremony, to fall in love, to gossip, to be alive together.  The circle keeps repeating. Dance circles. Bora rings. Song cycles. There is something sacred, ancient and democratic about gathering in a circle.  Dhandha means a campfire in Wiradjuri language. In an age of digital isolation, Dhandha is a radical act of invitation. Come as you are. Move if you want. Laugh with strangers. Learn a daggy disco move. Watch the Joel Bray Dancers coil and spark to the beat of Blackfella DJs.   Come at any hour, bring a friend or a sandwich, smile at a stranger across the glimmering flames. Arrive at sunset and you will be greeted and led through a quiet ritual to usher in dusk. Or join one of our party nights, when the benches become makeshift stages and the dancers flit and stride and writhe to the electronic beat.   One of Australia's most celebrated choreographers is throwing down a gentle gauntlet. Come try something you'd normally avoid. Work that social muscle. Be silly in front of strangers. You will never be asked to do more than you're comfortable with, but you might surprise yourself.   Streaming services and dating apps are selling you the mirage of connection. Dhandha is the real thing."

"Back for a landmark 10th Season, Deadly Fringe showcases bold and moving First Nations art through powerful new commissions."

"A week after the 2026 Festival wraps, Fringe Encore: Ballarat brings the adventurous spirit of Melbourne Fringe to regional Victoria for a vibrant weekend of surprising art. Whether you're making the trip from Melbourne or discovering the program in your own backyard, it's a chance to experience more of Fringe, with headline acts, independent artists and unexpected discoveries unfolding across the city."

"Beneath the glowing arches of Melbourne’s iconic Capitol Theatre, our Opening Night Gala crackles with life. A radiant forecast of the Festival to come. A 90-minute spectacle of everything Fringe does best: bold ideas, high-voltage performances, and independent art with heat you can feel from the back row."
