About the Artist

Cannonball Festival is an independently produced performing arts festival, concurrent with the Philadelphia fringe, that presents risk-taking independent artists in back-to-back performances next to delicious lounge spaces, fostering creative collisions and community conversation. Cannonball disrupts traditional arts presenting models by centering artist-to-artist curation, pooling and redistributing resources to provide small-scale, high-impact production opportunities for wild, under-resourced performances, while building a sustainable arts ecosystem from the ground up. In its inaugural year in 2021, Cannonball produced 28 unique works over 21 days for 150 performances in a single venue during the Philadelphia Fringe, welcoming over 2500 audience members and winning 12 weekly audience picks and three overall Fringie Awards. In 2022, Cannonball returns to the Maas Building from September 7th-30th, and for the first time will present programming at the nearby Icebox Project Space at Crane Arts from September 1-18th.
