The Audible Edge Night School is a series of workshops and critical conversations in the lead-up to the festival, presented by Tone List in partnership with local peers. The Night School is about the capacity of our scene: to write our own stories, build our own platforms, grow safer cultures, and to play and listen better. 

We want to get stuck into ideas and skills that are overlooked or under-explored in our community. We want anyone to feel able to contribute at these workshops, growing new thoughts together. We all participate as teachers, students and provocateurs alike.

The Night School is not always at night (but a good deal more so than the 2024 series). The name itself nods to the “post-event hang” as an important site of learning. A nocturnal space where learning is reflected on, critiqued and hashed out over eats and drinks.

The Night School events are presented in a three-way partnership with local peers The Blue Room Theatre and STRUT Dance. Additional partnerships have taken place with Patrick Gunasekera and The Rechabite (Crip Constellations) and community improvisation platform Sound Exploration Fremantle and the City of Fremantle.

Discussion-based workshops take place in a hybrid in-person/online format (via Jitsi), with purely practical workshops being in-person only.
