Interview with
a Fringe Artist
Throughout the year we interview a handful Fringe Artists that have participated in our programs. We want to give you a picture (whether you're an artist or patron) as to what it takes to be a self-producing artist and to connect you to our Fringe community of artists.
Each month leading up to the 2012 Capital Fringe Festival our monthly artist interview will feature artists that will be producing with us this year. They come from far, far away and from right next door. We begin with an artist that is the farthest away. Shoshinz is Japanese for "shy timid people," but this surreal Tokyo comedian is subservient to nothing and no one. Her delicate silences and coy demeanor will lure you in, and then they will bend your mind with brilliant physical theater, dance, absurd music and song. Shoshinz is one of the most renowned comedy acts in Japan, regularly performing in Tokyo, Canada, and the United States.
