Changes at helm of fringe festival

ST Life! carried a story on the annual M1 Singapore Fringe Festival which will now see a new artistic director every three years, and mentioned that the first to take the mantle is theatre practitioner Sean Tobin (Head, Faculty of Theatre). General Manager of The Necessary Stage, Ms Melissa Lim shared that Sean was a "natural choice", having formerly worked at The Necessary Stage as artistic director, youth and community. Two of his works, Tongues (2012) and What Did You Learn Today? (2011) have been staged at the festival. When interviewed, Sean also shared that he has always enjoyed the Fringe's focus on small and intimate work and the exchange it promotes between artists and audiences. He's excited about working with local artists and providing them with support and his first approach would be to understand how the Fringe works from inside out.
