DONATE TO IMPULSE THEATRE
Overview
Impulse Theatre is looking for support in covering production costs its latest Fringe Show!
SHORT SUMMARY
Hello! It’s Impulse Theatre here. We are a Victoria-based multidisciplinary theatre company specializing in transformative physical performance. We started on a rock in James Bay with our first piece, Conversations with the Sea, in 2010. Since then, we’ve created fifteen original works and facilitated the growth of dozens of local artists and administrators through projects like our annual Peek Fest.
This year, we’re supported by a summer team of administrators and artists who are working tirelessly on a brand-new show to add to Impulse’s catalogue, how to pull your heart out through your throat.
how to pull your heart out through your throat dives into questions of identity, self, and the fabricated “me” we present through social media. With the (very loose) format of an exciting and visceral “how-to” guide, how to pull your heart out through your throat explores questions of individuality, self-creation, and the need to be seen authentically.
This show is a collaborative creation led by Impulse’s Artistic Producer Andrew Barrett. The cast and creative team include local early-career theatre practitioners Emma Dickerson, Veronica Harland, Chase Hiebert, Rachel Levy, and Julie Mombourquette.

Public support is crucial to the growth and development of the arts in Victoria. Being able to invest in an artist or a company over a long period of time allows them to fully discover and celebrate their voice, and the voices of other emerging artists, in addition to sparking momentum and growth of a more inclusive, interdisciplinary arts community in Victoria.
Impulse Theatre is a unique opportunity for artists in Victoria to create, collaborate, and be exposed to new work and practices that are not often seen on our city stages. As a not-for-profit organization, Impulse Theatre strives to support a community of local, regional, and national artists, both emerging and established. In 2018, we have reached a new level of funding through the generous support of the Canada Council for the Arts, the BC Arts Council, and the CRD Arts Development Service that has helped us get off the ground. Continued expansion of support will keep this momentum going — it also helps us offer programs and workshops to emerging artists, keep our projects accessible, and create engaging community programs to support the voices in Victoria’s arts community. Your generous donation will help fund future Impulse Theatre projects, including next year’s Peek-Fest, and programs like the Peek-Fest Access Program, which sponsors Peek-Fest workshop fees for queer, trans, Indigenous, and artists of colour in Victoria.
