What
began as a small troupe in 1982 has grown into one of Canada's best-known
theatrical voices at home and abroad. Freely blending elements such as
drama, dance, poetry and monologue into an unpredictable whole, the company
has charted a path that is experimental yet professional, and challenging
but always captivating. Whether producing shows with it's own tight-knit
artistic family, or presenting the best modern performance the world has
to offer, is truly an international treasure.
One of three resident companies in Calgary's main arts complex, The EPCOR CENTRE for the Performing Arts, occupies a versatile, state-of-the-art facility called The Big Secret Theatre. The space can be configured as anything from an intimate 200-seat performance venue to a hip party scene. Together with the adjoining Future Cocktail Lounge, it has become a hub of the city's social life.
One Yellow Rabbit is a "creation house" centering around a core ensemble of creative artists. Our mission is to create original, adult-oriented performance theatre for and about the community that supports us, presenting in our home venue in Calgary and wherever invited in the world. In addition, we nuture similar activities of others in several ways: with our annual festival of performative arts, the High Performance Rodeo; by presenting other creation-based projects at other times during our season; and by teaching activities focusing on ceation, especially during our annual school, the Summer Lab Intensive. Finally we develop projects adapted from our stage creations such as radio plays, film/video projects and digital content on the web.
