HIVE 2021: Flight Paths
A build your own adventure-style interactive journey.
The HIVE Performance Collective is thrilled to announce HIVE 2021: Flight Paths, a series of theatrical journeys, from July 1-4, 2021. Flight Paths is a collection of twelve micro-performances that take place digitally between you and an artist from your own home, phone, or neighbourhood. Audiences can participate from anywhere in the world. Flight Paths is a build your own adventure-style interactive journey, where each performance invites you to participate in a unique way. Sorted into four paths, audiences can experience a show by: Travel, Phone, Home, and Location. The paths will reimagine live performance as they invite audience members to do the same. You may receive a call from a friendly group of experts who will assess a part of your life, follow a set of instructions to physically lead you down memory lane, or you may travel through your neighbourhood while imagining it as an ancient Persian myth. Performances under the Travel path will encourage attendees to navigate through any space of your choosing, such as going for a walk in your neighbourhood. The Travel path is focused on the act of journeying, rather than the destination. The Phone path will center the use of a cell phone - it may mean receiving an intimate phone call, text message, or otherwise. Home path performances are designed to be enjoyed from the comfort of your couch, bedroom, or any other space that you call home. Finally, attending a Location path will guide you to a non-specific geographical location, like a body of water, or a tree, and invite you to look at the world differently from that point forward. Each Flight Paths performance is a maximum of 15 minutes, and attendees may be able to participate in up to three performances per hour from 2-5 PM PST. Attendees may mix-and-match shows from different paths or see all of a single path. We encourage you to take in all twelve performances over two or more days! Most performances are intended for all ages, and are family-friendly. The HIVE Performance Collective is composed of twelve British Columbia-based innovative theatre companies and individuals. Flight Paths marks HIVE’s return after a hugely successful venue take-over of Presentation House Theatre as part of Magnetic North Theatre Festival in June 2019.

About HIVE Performance Collective
HIVE Performance Collective is made up of twelve BC performance-based artists and companies. Our fundamental purpose is to collectively produce and create a unique arts-activated community and performance event where process & exploration is a main focus. We take our namesake from the incredibly successful HIVE originally produced in 2006 by eleven of Vancouver and Victoria's creation-based theatre companies. The HIVE Performance Collective carries forth the spirit of collaboration and community of the original but broadens its cross-natured creation process so that no artist creates work for the event alone. We believe in making an important step for the next generation of Canadian artists to collaborate and cross-pollinate their working processes, ideas, and create a community with other independent artists and companies. Each collective member has their own unique aesthetic, artistic process, community and audience. The Collective was formed to share these resources in the spirit of collaboration instead of competition.
