This is one of my favourite times of the year on campus. Why? The Verge Arts Festival, that's why.
Verge is the University of Sydney Union’s annual arts festival held in the first two weeks of September. Initiated by the University of Sydney Union and now in its eighth successive year, the festival brings hundreds of artists, thousands of students and millions of ideas together to showcase a diverse range of music, visual art, stage, film, and discussion. Verge seeks to unite the university’s numerous cultural and artistic groups, and foster bonds of creative collaboration.
There are tonnes of activities on during Verge - theatresports, bands, art, poetry slams... you think of something awesome, and it's likely that there is something similar to it on at Verge.
This year is no different. The programme is chockers with The Song Company performing in the Law Library, a Chai Night, a Zine Fair, Lunchtime gig sessions... and so much more. It's a vibrant and exciting time on campus, and really brightens a time in the semester when you're more likely to be feeling the stress of assignments.
