Show Description

Avery is throwing her first high school boy-girl party and has invited the whole school. But when only four people show up, they have to make do. Tempers rise, secrets are revealed, and awkward flirting is abound. This coming of age story gives us a peek at the awkwardness of early (queer) love, friendship, and growing up.

Show Description

The Concerned Citizens Brigade invites you to a brief rendezvous to discuss the recent opening of a brand-new outdoor umbrella stand. Amelia Whittenborg (heiress to her father’s award winning outdoor raincoat stand empire), Dillon Dalton (overeager first-year business student), Carrie Kracken (your local crazy conspiracy lady), and Ernie Arnold (the old man everyone loves to hate) all have strong opinions regarding this new venture. Certainly you must have the same! If not…ah…there’ll be problems. Something simply must be done! Who will be speaking at this meeting, you ask? Well, it all depends on the weather.

Creator and Performer: Alexandra Dodd (she/her)

Show Description

Three creatures fill the role of creating new life from death. They replant, they transplant, they explant. But a plant has its needs to grow roots. And even more if it’s not exactly a plant… Barbolosa and other unfamiliar beings are born and they will try to adapt to this new life, overcoming what the nature brings. Unsquirrels? Outsects? Dewind? What comes first, roots or branches? Chicken or egg?
The tree aisle by the Galloping Goose on the Selkirk tour has the perfect perspective for this surreal and whimsical physical theatre piece.
Spoilers: Masks, Spanish, puppetry and music.

Show Description

As the final stop on their honeymoon, Zorzox and Vorvox, a pair of reformed Annihilators from the Andromeda galaxy, visit Earth—a planet that they are big fans of but fundamentally misunderstand. While insisting that they are completely indistinguishable from normal humans (despite their gleaming neck-dishes), the pair recruit the audience to help them stage all of the key tourist experiences of the Pale Blue Dot. Audiences are sure to laugh, sigh, and look at the absurdity of life on this planet with fresh eyes after Vorvox and Zorzox Visit Earth.

Jenn Goodwin

Show Description

Exploring women’s labour, overwhelm, rage and resilience, this movement installation uses the public space as stage, nemesis, obstacle and accomplishment and in its expression of falling as dancers unpack the resiliency and challenges of women in day-to-day life. In this performance, Goodwin is particularly interested in personal power, solidarity, the tender cracks in ones’ confidence, and pure grit. The work is performed to the powerful song Uja by Tanya Tagaq.

Burger & Briggs
Site 5 – Central Tour

Show Description

How do we bridge the gap between what we feel and what we say? How does our body shape our words, and how do our words shape our body? The Two Body Problem blends together improvised movement, dance, poetry, and scene work. Using audience-shared memories, the piece explores empathy and the many ways we strive to understand and be understood.

Burger & Briggs is an improvisational duo devoted to the art of presence. Their work lives between movement, emotion, and play. At its core, their work is an invitation: to listen, to speak, to feel, and to share.

Performer and Co-Creator: Helen Burger (she/they)
Performer and Co-Creator: D’Arcy Briggs (he/they)
