Verge Festival 2010
Verge is strange. That's one of the best things about it. A silent disco, a 24-hour comedy gig and a NASA vs. NIDA debate are definitely some of the stranger pieces of the Verge mosaic. Which is varied, like a spotty art wall of Rubiks cube is varied - something they have at the festival. Verge is also perfectly normal. They'll have a best-of Theatresports (with Chaser members and cast from Thank God You're Here), a white-lit night market, open circus rehearsals and music. The festival has been running at Sydney University since 2003, starting as an experiment along the torn and sticky-taped graffiti tunnel and progressing down to a full-sized cultural event.
Overview
Verge is strange. That's one of the best things about it. A silent room churns with frenetic dancers, hopping and bobbing to a common beat. Comedians push to entertain a hungry audience at four in the morning, sixteen hours of gig left to go. At the bar, they argue the virtue of sending arts money into space. A silent disco, a 24-hour comedy gig and a NASA vs. NIDA debate are definitely some of the stranger pieces of the Verge mosaic. Which is varied, like a spotty art wall of Rubiks cube is varied something they have at the festival.

Spread across the Camperdown campus and the stone-walled Sydney College of the Arts, Verge is well worth checking out, puzzling over, and joining in.
