PEEk FEST 2019
​ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE

 During Peek Fest we offer three companies/collectives/artists a residency which includes 20 hours per company in the Intrepid Theatre Club.
This time and space allows for the research and development of a new project, which is then presented as a work-in-progress. Come see these exciting performers and creators show us their stuff at The Showcase on Saturday, November 9th at 8pm as part of our Performance Series .

Embrace Arts (victoria, BC)
s___pace

 
Jo wants more space, in every sense of the word. Perhaps 384,400 km could do the trick? S___PACE is an interdisciplinary outer space adventure comprised of poems, science facts, music, movement and maybe even some hot wheels cars. 

Embrace: Performance is Embrace Arts Foundation's mixed ability performance stream. Embrace works with artists of all physical and cognitive abilities to create meaningful artistic opportunities. The team behind S___PACE most recently worked together on Embrace's production: bloom (2018)

Re:current theatre (vancouver, bc & toronto, on)
100 bad plays about the environment and one red balloon

 It begins with a leak in the ceiling. In ‘100 bad plays…’ two performers compete against the inevitability of the unavoidable end. With the competitive energy of a game show, story after story is told through a series of plays (some very short and a few a bit longer) that range from absurd to serious. 

Re:Current Theatre fosters a space for the development of live theatre that responds to our surroundings and personal history with intellectual rigour and whimsical imagination. Their aesthetic uses a mix of current and historical technology, a range of acting methods and rehearsal techniques, and a visual sensibility to locate pulsing questions in intimate settings.

Snafu (victoria, bc)
snafu shorts: today you, tomorrow me and epidermis circus

“Today you, Tomorrow me” tells an original fable using layered, textured full-color shadow puppetry on a vintage overhead projector.  The story is based on a graphic novel created by Jeni Luther, which features a human who saves a worm from drowning in a puddle. Directed by Kathleen Greenfield.

“Epidermis Circus” is an experiment in body puppetry and bawdy animation. Hansen celebrates the fragile meatbag of the human form.  

SNAFU is based in Victoria, BC. Their work has been presented by the National Arts Centre, the Belfry Theatre, Intrepid Theatre, and many festivals across Canada. Recent projects include Kitt & Jane: An Interactive Survival Guide to the Near-Post-Apocalyptic Future, Calling Home, and Interstellar Elder: Badass Grandma in Space. SNAFU also collaborates with William Head on Stage Prison Theatre to create original plays performed by prisoners for the public. SNAFU is led by Co-Artistic Directors Kathleen Greenfield and Ingrid Hansen, and Jeni Luther has worked with SNAFU designing and performing in prison plays since 2013.
