We asked the artists who have taken part in our artist development programme if they are involved with a show during the Edinburgh Festivals.
Here are their suggestions of performances running in August which have a Magnetic North connection.
Voices from the South
Voices from the South is an international online showcase of performance work at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, co-curated and delivered with partner organisations from Brazil, India, Mexico, Scotland and South Africa.
The project involves 15 artists and companies from these countries who have engaged in an 18-month period of exchange and conversation while preparing to present their work online at Fringe 2023.

Black is the Colour of my Voice
Fringe First and Spirit of the Fringe award winner Apphia Campbell’s stunning solo show, inspired by the life of Nina Simone. Back at the Fringe to celebrate its 10th birthday! Strictly limited run of five performances only. ‘Campbell may wear Simone’s trademark head wrap but her performance goes beyond impersonation’ **** (Times). ‘Apphia Campbell is nothing short of sensational… she will make you cheer for her, smile with her and then sting your eyes with tears’ ***** (BroadwayBaby.com). ‘A compelling and heartbreaking story, punctuated with bursts of song.’ **** (Edinburgh Festivals Magazine).
Apphia took part in Rough Mix 2020 and performed in We WIll Hear The Angels.

Experts Radio Lab
Kids are experts. Some are experts on jumping, some on dinosaur fossils, some on making mud pies. Whatever it is, our mics are on, the interview chair is ready and we’re about to go live. Experts Radio Lab and the accompanying Listening Station is a free, drop-in experience, set within our pop-up radio studio at the National Museum of Scotland. Interviews are shared live to an audience of fellow interviewees, their families and anyone who’s curious. Share your expertise with us, or come along and learn from the masters! You never know what you’ll learn.
Alice Mary Cooper is our Artist Employee at Magnetic North.
