​Impulse Theatre’s PEEK-FEST is a new festival for emerging performing artists in Victoria. The festival offers exciting new looks at work in development from some of the province’s most innovative creators, while seeking to grow the artistic development of local artists through showcases and workshops.

PERFORMANCE SERIES

Impulse offers two performance opportunities as part of the festival:

PEEK-SHOW
FRIDAY NOV. 23, 8PM @ INTREPID THEATRE CLUB (1609 BLANSHARD)
TICKETS $10 IN ADVANCE / $15 AT THE DOOR


PEEK-SHOW consists of excerpts from new, or developing works from Victoria's performing artists. 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.​
