Perth’s annual Fringe World festival has wrapped with the presentation of the Fringe World awards, including the Martin Sims Award, presented to the best new Western Australian work that is destined to succeed on the world’s stage.
Two winners shared the Martin Sims award this year; YUCK Circus, an all-female circus company, and the WA Youth Theatre Company’s Rest, an immersive theatre experience presented in East Perth Cemetery. WATCo’s Rest also won The West Australian Arts Editor Award and the Theatre award.
The Award is named in honour of Martin Sims, former Chairperson of Artrage (the presenter of Fringe World) and a life-long advocate for the arts in WA.
