Creative Youth, the charity behind FUSE International and FUSEBOX, Kingston's newest multi-arts venue, has launched applications for FUSE International 2024. FUSE International (formerly International Youth Arts Festival) is a 10-day festival which takes place in Kingston upon Thames every summer. FUSE was founded in 2009 to provide a platform for international artists under 27 to come together to share their work.
The festival features an eclectic programme of music, theatre, dance, comedy, visual arts, spoken word and circus every year, with a particular emphasis on bringing young artists from all over the world to Kingston each July. The festival takes over multiple venues across the town including Rose Theatre and Kingston's historic marketplace.
Festival Director, Petra Tauscher, said: "FUSE International provides a platform to promote and celebrate creative talent and connects international and local young people through the arts. The festival has always about making connections and the energy which is created by artistic encounters and exchange. FUSE is about connecting the different artforms: Dance, Music, Theatre, Comedy, Film, Visual Art; connecting the age group 5- 26 and connecting the young people of this island to the rest of the world."
Applications for the festival are open from 8 November – 7 July 2024.
