Friday, September 22nd, 2017 8pm
Intrepid Theatre Club (1609 Blanshard)
$15 / $20 Performance Pass
An informal and exciting experience for artists and patrons, all discovering new stories for the first time. The evening consists of new works from a diverse and equitable group of Victoria's performing artists. This time, each group is provided with only 7 minutes to present whatever art has been brewing in the back in their mind, itching to come out. From text, to dance, to somewhere in-between, we will be living in a space of discovery and courage. PEEK-SHOW acts as an initiative to foster creative connections between Victoria's performing artists and to spark momentum within the community.
