Convention Space & Renegade

Convention Space

Location: Brandon Hotel

Times: 10am onwards on Friday, Saturday and Sunday

The central focus of every convention is the space where everyone gets together to practice their skills and share what they know with each other. This years Tralee festival will have 3 days of convention space and will be home to workshops on saturday and sunday.

Renegade

Location: Brandon Hotel

Time: 10pm

What happens when you put a conventions worth of performers in front of a stage and tell them they can get up on stage and do ANYTHING they want to entertain their fellow performers? Complete and utter insanity, the Renegade is like an open mic night but where anything goes, the audience are the performers and everyone who gets up on stage gets a shot as a reward. The renegade is the perfect platform for newer performers to get used to being on stage and the pros like to experiment with new material as well so no 2 renegades are ever the same.

This event is part of the Circus Convention and is open to Convention Pass holders only.

The Tralee Circus Festival is brought to you by Fanzini Productions thanks to support from our sponsors:
