By design, the festival is a catalyst for interaction between live performance, visual art, installation, theater, dance and music, spanning a myriad of venues throughout the city including The steps of the State Capitol Building, the historic Paramount, Austin Museum of Art, The Long Center for the Performing Arts, Off Center, Salvage Vanguard, Okay Mountain, MASS Gallery, U.S. Art Authority, to name a few.
Artistic director Ron Berry started Fusebox out of a need for more dynamic cross-disciplinary programming presented in Austin. The intention was to create a multi-track experience of new forms and ideas, a home for artistic risk-taking and experimentation. Additionally, Fusebox began as a platform for national and international audiences to experience Austin's burgeoning performance/art scenes, and regional audiences a chance to engage with cutting-edge artists from around the globe.
Over the past six years, Fusebox Festival has created a hub of idea sharing and discovery for some of the most innovative and forward-thinking artists working today. Previous artists include: Forced Entertainment, Tim Etchells, Deborah Hay, Pierre Rigal, Miguel Gutierrez, Rotozaza, Nature Theater of Oklahoma, Rude Mechanicals, tEEth, Reggie Watts, the Debate Society, HIJACK, LeeSaar, Phil Soltanoff, Kalup Linzy, Emily Johnson, and many more.
