PEEK SHOWAbout Peek Show: Peek Show is an informal and exciting experience between artists and patrons, all discovering new stories and worlds for the first time. Peek Show showcases new works from provincial performing artists, from text, to dance, to somewhere in-between. Peek Show takes place twice per year, once in the spring and once as part of Peek Fest in November. The next Peek Show will be in fall 2025. Peek Show 17 featured: Anna Bigland-Pritchard - For Camosun Jeni Gunn - The Perfect Fit Heliopsis Theatre Co. - Spare Parts Lumini Theatre - [failure] timetheft theatre - Four out of Five Dentists Tricoz Productions - South African depression poen in Nehayan Ciarán Volke - Combat Simulator We understand the precarious and risky place new work can occupy, especially personal material. We ask artists to consider Content and Accessibility Notes in advance of the performance. Impulse Theatre is attempting to create a safe space for both audience and artist to take risks, and requires transparency between its artists and audiences to ensure that each is supported. New work is untested, and audiences and artists take a degree of risk in attending when the participating artists may have not discovered how their content may impact artists. |
