CARAVAN FARM THEATRE presents the World Premiere of EVERYONE, a modern morality play in 7 horse drawn acts.
Created by Electric Company Theatre, Neworld Theatre, November Theatre, Pound of Flesh Theatre, Theatre Melee, Theatre Replacement and Caravan Farm Theatre.

The summer six celebrated Vancouver theatre companies will converge on an 80-acre farm in the Okanagan and create an over the top, epic piece of theatre: Everyone. Featuring live music, a spectacular outdoor setting on a forested hill, and six horsedrawn wagons, Everyone is a contemporary take on the Medieval Morality play — complete with an updated Vice and Virtue, a handful of allegorical characters, and an "Everyfamily."

For over thirty years, Caravan Farm Theatre has been producing outdoor theatre for a large and appreciative audience. Productions have ranged from new works by Peter Anderson to inventively staged classics such as Brecht's Mother Courage and Shakespeare's Macbeth. This summer's production of Everyone introduces Caravan's unique theatrical aesthetic of site specific staging and the use of the horse as a staging device to six unique urban companies, and the results promise to be extraordinary.

"Everyone, with its diverse combination of artistic sensibilities, urban and rural aesthetics, and interpretations of contemporary British Columbian experience, will be an iconic work by some of the province's most exciting theatre practitioners, to be shared with the audiences of the interior of BC."
-Estelle Shook, Artistic Director, Caravan Farm Theatre

The state of Tennessee is home to the highest concentration of 'famous cities,' featuring the small towns of London, Paris, Rome, Athens, Bogata and Moscow among many others. London sits in the middle of the Cherokee National Forest on a dirt road. Rome is little more than a few houses on the road between Lebanon and Carthage. Paris, the biggest of the towns, is home to 9764 people.

Built with a vast collection of interviews, photos and video collected by the company in these small towns, The Greatest Cities in the World rises as a cacophonous smash up of voices, movement and media to construct an oddly familiar world.

Created by Nneka Croal, Ruben Castelblanco, Susan Elliott, Young-Hee Kim, Andrew Laurenson, Michael Rinaldi, Tanya Podlozniuk, Jonathan Ryder, Allee Wells, Jesse Garlick, Veda Hille, Elia Kirby, James Long and Maiko Bae Yamamoto.

Produced with the generous support of the Canada Council for the Arts, British Columbia Arts Council and Province of British Columbia, City of Vancouver, Arts Partners in Creative Development and Hamber Foundation.

The Greatest Cities in the World premiered March 9-13, 2010 at The Cultch in its Historic Theatre, Vancouver BC.

“...a surreal remix of documentary material…marvelously theatrical and entertaining.”                 
-Vancouver Plays

“...shines light on the fluidity of our own identities and the underlying commonalities of human experience. Greatest Cities emphasized the shared through play.”

Revealing, sexy and sometimes startling, Theatre Replacement once again delves into the world of biographical examination with their latest performance Dress me up in your love. Using distinct garments collected from around the world, performers dress and undress to reveal in text, song, movement and animation the stories behind the clothes and the closets they came from.

Part theatre, part installation, part fashion show, Dress me up in your love is a collection of intimate and personal stories gathered and told — from the banal and everyday to the critical moments and turning points that shape our lives — woven together in a truly unique and resonant performance.

Co-produced by and developed at PAZZ Performing Arts Festival, Oldenburgisches Staatstheater (Germany). Created by Barbara Clayden, Sascha Grub, Veda Hille, Samantha Madely, Dario Martin Rodriguez, Andrew McNee, Cindy Mochizuki, Anita Rochon, Donna Soares, James Long and Maiko Bae Yamamoto. Dress me up in your love is proud to have the Powell Street Festival as a community partner.

HIVE is the stuff of theatrical legend in Vancouver. Sold-out shows at Chapel Arts in 2006 built the buzz. Sold-out shows at Magnetic North Theatre Festival in 2008 amplified that buzz. Now HIVE returns for a third edition as part of the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad.

Grab a drink at the central bar then dive into the HIVE, where 12 theatrical inventions play continuously The wildly distinct shows are short — up to 15 minutes; and for small audiences — from one person to a few dozen. After your exploration, get ready to party with bands from across Canada.

Under the banner of Progress Lab, 12 of B.C.’s most adventurous companies cross-pollinate and collaborate to create new directions in theatre. Together these companies have reshaped the landscape for contemporary live theatre in the Pacific Northwest in recent years. Their projects have appeared on major stages across Canada and the U.S., Europe, and Asia. They have exploded old notions of what a live theatre experience can be, and continue to create jaw-dropping evidence that Vancouver is a world leader in performance. HIVE celebrates this unique Vancouver scene in a fun, friendly, provocative atmosphere.

HIVE 3 companies are: Boca del Lupo, Electric Company,Felix Culpa, Leaky Heaven Circus, Neworld Theatre, The Only Animal, Pi Theatre, Radix,Rumble Productions, Theatre Replacement, Theatre Conspiracy and Theatre SKAM, with mentee companies November Theatre, GasHeart Theatre and Tigermilk Collective.
