At Melbourne Fringe, we love a chin-wag, chit-chat, a kiki… whatever you call it, we want to talk to you! If you want to get in touch, you can:
If you’d rather lock in a time where we call you, we have set aside times you can book one on one meeting with Participant Services team. It’s your choice between a phone call, a Zoom video chat or drop into the office.
