Fringe ArtsThe Art of Spontaneity
Improvisation is a special brand of comedy. It can make your cheeks hurt from laughing while watching re-runs of the classic show Whose Line Is It Anyway.

Fringe ArtsThe Faces Behind the Fashion
As Coco Chanel famously put it, “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only—fashion is in the sky, in the street; fashion has to do with ideas, and the way we live.” Nowhere is this concept more apparent than on the streets of our cosmopolitan city, and POP will be flaunting the best of the best in their seventh annual fashion show.
