Our Mission

Robust cultural landscapes nurture vibrant societies.

One Yellow Rabbit Performance harnesses the bold, adventurous spirit of our Calgary community to enrich the place we live. We do this each season by undertaking high-calibre work in the performing arts across a wide range of projects.

Our mission is to create and present vital, surprising performance experiences that engage and reward our audience.

We believe it is through this kind of artistic work – work that arouses curiosity, ignites passion, stimulates imagination and challenges expectation – that individuals are inspired and communities flourish.

By extension, we believe that the rigour and love that feeds the work we put forward translates into a community that values connection, compassion, and strives to nourish its people – a society that is galvanized by challenge and energized by possibility.

To realize this vision we are committed to:

• Developing and producing the work of the One Yellow Rabbit Performance Ensemble
• Educating and mentoring new and established artists through programs like the Summer Lab Intensive and the beautifulyoungartists initiative
• Producing and presenting the High Performance Rodeo, Calgary’s International Festival of the Arts
• Hosting events in the Big Secret Theatre
