PEEK SHOW 18Friday, May 23 at 7pm
APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN | due April 24 About 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 fall and once as part of Peek Fest in November. More information about Peek Show 18 will be available in early Spring 2025. APPLICATION:
We are seeking five to six in-development works from regional performing artists/companies/collectives.. Adjudication is based on your demonstration of ability to execute the project, artistic history, and available resources. Priority is granted to multidisciplinary projects. Please note: due to the limited tech and performance time, technical requirements must be left to a minimum. Live sound cannot be connected to the PA system. IMPULSE PROVIDES:
IMPORTANT DATES:
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. |
