This is going to be a FANTASTIC and very interesting show. But they need some more people for it to all come together. Have a look and pass on this info to anyone you know who fits the needed demographics.
BE ONE OF 100%
Presented by Push International Performing Arts Festival and Theatre Replacement
In honour of our city’s 125th birthday, 100% Vancouver will place 100 everyday Vancouverites front and centre January 21 & 22nd, 2011, at the PuSh International Performing Arts Festival.
On stage a demographic portrait of our city is created using 100 people as defined by their gender, age, cultural background, language they speak, marital status, and neighborhood in which they live.
100% Vancouver involves a live band, a revolving stage, video projection, and the stories and individuals that make up our city. A commemorative book published by Fillip portrays of all the participants and a series of essays accompanies the show.
Eligible Participants:
Vancouver residents must meet 5 criteria: gender, age, cultural background, marital status, and neighborhood that statistically represent the city of Vancouver. You must be available for all rehearsals and performances. You will receive an honourarium.
