Back in the Saddle - The High Performance Rodeo is Here with A Child Ruled by Fear

The High Performance Rodeo is back! One Yellow Rabbit’s High Performance Rodeo (HPRodeo) is returning with a series of seven productions and presentations this spring including This Is the Story of the Child Ruled by Fear, May 26 - 28. Hand-picked to delight audiences, these seven selections represent what HPRodeo is all about – wild and ambitious, progressive and provocative, and inherently LIVE. We had a chance to sit down with artist David Gagnon Walker, creator of This Is the Story of the Child Ruled by Fear to find out what inspired him and how this unique show came to be.

Bringing Back bliss (the birthday party play)

On October 28, One Yellow Rabbit will welcome back bliss (the birthday party play) for its second run, returning live performance to the Big Secret Theatre stage at Arts Commons. Written and acted by Verb Theatre director Jamie Dunsdon, critically acclaimed bliss approaches the inopportune moments in life when, like an errant balloon, our ignorance is popped. Perhaps it’s the dawning horror that Santa’s handwriting looks an awful lot like moms, or the burgeoning weight of climate change and environmental action­­––whatever the catalyst, bliss embarks on an exploration of our vulnerability, our curiosity, and our limitless capacity to ignore that which we shouldn’t.

Capturing the History of One Yellow Rabbit

When Andy Curtis began capturing photographs of his friends and One Yellow Rabbit colleagues in 1984, he never intended to create a time capsule.

Now, those photos take on a new life as Curtis exhibits his curated collection of photographs and inside stories on One Yellow Rabbit’s Instagram page. His digital exhibition pulls back the curtain and invites audiences to a behind-the-scenes look at the history of One Yellow Rabbit Performance Theatre.
