1. Preference space
Besides the ’regular’ Fringe locations the Amsterdam Fringe Festival (AFF) is using alternative locations such as attics, old limousines, caravans, hangars, gardens etc. more frequently. Productions that are created for these alternative locations have the responsibility for the required licences, safety regulations etc. Of course assistance can be obtained from the AFF. These ‘out of the box’-locations have a bigger chance of being accepted in the AFF.

	Black box Studio Open space (outside, street performance) Cabaret/solo stage Stage on same level as audience
