Hello! Tell us all about your show!

Hi, Cênica here! Dribble takes place in a Brazilian bar where a table transforms into a stage, a football field, and a meeting space. Through music, stories, humor, and emotion, the show explores football as memory and collective experience. Inspired by the gesture of the dribble – a moment of risk, invention, and creativity – the performance connects Brazil and Scotland through the figure of Charles Miller, revealing football as a shared cultural language capable of speaking about identity, belonging, and community.

What other acts are you looking forward to seeing at the fringe?

We are really looking forward to seeing the other shows in the São Paulo Showcase. 

Have you done the fringe before? What are the key pieces of advice you have been given or would give to new groups or people performing at the fringe. 

Yes, we came to the Fringe last year, with a show called Cheese and Guava or Romeo and Juliet, and it was a very meaningful experience for the group. The Fringe is intense, so an important piece of advice is to respect your own pace. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Talk to people, collaborate, support other artists, and remember to enjoy the experience.

Another important piece of advice is flyering! It’s not just handing out paper on the street, but also talking to people, finding connections and inviting them to experience your show. 

Talk us through your daily routine for a day at the Fringe

The day usually starts with the essentials: coffee. Then comes flyering, technical organization, rehearsals, promotion, meetings, and trying to find time to eat properly. Whenever possible, we also try to watch other shows. Performing is usually the highlight of the day!

Ok, where is your favourite place to eat at the Fringe? 

We really enjoy the pizza at Summerhall. After a long day of performing and flyering, Summerhall is a great place to meet with other artists and friends.

Best thing about performing at the fringe?

The possibility of connection. The Fringe brings together artists and audiences from all over the world, and there is something very powerful about seeing people from completely different cultures sharing the same experience at the same time. It’s a very vibrant environment for artistic exchange.

Do you bring anything special from home to make it feel more special whilst you are away?

We like to bring small personal items and pictures to help us feel more connected to home while we are away.

What are your best hacks to save money whilst at the Fringe?

Cooking whenever you can, taking snacks with you, sharing resources, walking instead of taking transport, finding small ways like this can help you save over the month.
