Trek, shadow puppets, and PACTCon a Pivot Spring Update

This spring – Shows, workshops and guests!

After a great festival (check out Erik Pinkerton’s photos) – we’re right into a busy spring of shows, workshops and hosting.

Christine Genier in Dear Star Trek

Dear Star Trek – February 24+25

BUY TICKETS

A life long Trekkie, Christine Genier mixes her powerful and humorous storytelling with memes in a fun, teasing breakdown of the television that makes us, Star Trek, and representation.

After presentations with Rumble Theatre in Vancouver and Lodge Pole Arts in Wolfe Island, we bring the performance home to Whitehorse!

Lumbar 5, Thoracic 12 – March 19-21 Whitehorse

BUY TICKETS

Through recorded interviews, shadow puppetry, and campfire storytelling, Lumbar 5, Thoracic 12 tells a Northern father-daughter story about intergenerational divides and a deep need to connect.

Santana Berryman returns to Whitehorse with her show about taking her father on a camping trip. Together, they brave a few nights in the bush in winter, facing cold temperatures, 20 hours of darkness, and a generation of silence between them.

March workshop bookings available!

Working on something?

PACTCon is coming in April and while a bunch of theatre folk are in town, we want there to be as many good connections as possible!

We want to hear what you're working on so we can help with that.

There are going to be karaoke nights, pitch sessions, and other chances to meet people from across the country.

Including!

On April 22 +23 Pivot is hosting evenings in the Old Firehall to gather and share good company and local work. It will be the same show for two nights.

If you’ve got something you think would fit in that – let us know. We’ll be putting together the programming for the night at the beginning of March. Get in touch by March 2 to be considered. There will be an honorarium for those selected.

For the evening, think a Short Works for Quiet Nights at the festival - it will be a low tech affair and we’re thinking 10-15 minutes and not much set up. There’s also going to be a pitch session to apply to, and we want this evening to feel different than that.

We’ll also be running pitch session practice and may reach out to suggest that route.

PACTCon is the annual gathering of the Professional Association Of Canadian Theatre and Pivot is co-hosting it in Whitehorse for the first time.
