PERFORMANCE SERIES
Impulse offers two performance opportunities as part of the festival:
PEEK-SHOW
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.
