High Performance Rodeo News

The 2010 High Performance Rodeo has wrapped up, and it was an incredible success! Thank you, Calgary, for your overwhelming support of the festival. We'll be back in January 2011!

If you can't wait that long for another dose of Rodeo madness, be sure to check out One Yellow Rabbit's Gilgamesh La-Z-Boy, running March 18-27 in the Big Secret Theatre.

It's been a wild ride, and now we're in our final week of the 2010 High Performance Rodeo!

Coming up, we've got No Exit by Jean-Paul Sartre, PIG: A Back Door Peep Show, Tono, Dedicated to the Revolutions and Wine Stage. These are some brilliant shows to bookend your festival experience. We hope you can make it!

Well folks, we've passed the halfway point of this year's Rodeo, but we still have two more weeks of excellence in store!

Coming up this week, we've got Blind Date, This is My City, Soundasaurus, Power Play: Homelessness, Skins: Bodies for Sale, the Bravo!FACT Screening, Art Matters and One Yellow Rabbit's latest creation, Kawasaki Exit.

It seems like only hours ago that we were setting up for Midway and loading in the pianos for Tubular Bells, but suddenly we're in week two of the festival. Time flies!

The out-of-town artists are landing at the airport and we're gearing up for this week's fabulous array of Rodeo performances, including In Paradisum, White Cabin, Last Stand to Reason, Smooth, TWO BIT OPER-EH?-SHUN and Buzz Job!

Kaboom! It is January 7th and the High Performance Rodeo is off and running and about to explode at two fantastic venues. The EPCOR CENTRE for the Performing Arts will host three events Midway, Freak Show and Grandstand. The Theatre Junction GRAND will host a full house for Tubular Bells featuring Alberta Ballet, Bergmann Piano Duo and Honens Piano Competition.

In partnership with CBC, Rodeo Curator Michael Green has prepared a series of exclusive videos that provide a behind-the scenes look at the 2010 High Performance Rodeo. Watch the videos here.
