Impulse Theatre’s Peek Fest is an annual live performance festival that takes place in November each year. The festival offers an exciting new look at work-in-development from innovative creators and celebrates creation, performance, connection, and exploration. The Festival also contributes to the growth of arts workers through residencies, showcases and workshops. Artists are offered the chance to investigate their impulses, and audiences are always thrilled with the fresh and dynamic work shared.

PEEK SHOW
Peek Show consists of 7 minute excerpts from new or developing performance works. Each group shares whatever art has been brewing in the back of their mind, itching to come out. From text, to dance, to somewhere in-between, this fast paced show-and-tell is always a thrill!

THE SHOWCASE
During Peek Fest, three projects receive mentorship from a national arts leader through the residency program, an incubator for interdisciplinary performance. This time and space allows for the research and development of a new project, which is then presented as a work-in-progress excerpt at The Showcase.
