The Living Room

Come in. Sit down. We can’t wait to see you.

After a long pandemic hiatus, we are back (in a triumphant and disinfected return) with our Living Room series!

Several times a year, Rumble hosts the Living Room, a gathering for the artistic community to get together and talk about what’s going on. All of it. It’s a great opportunity to connect, network, and share news in a casual and fun environment. Refreshments are served. (That’s for the mingling….mingling snacks.)

So listen, think, speak. Be welcome. Expect creative contributions around provocative ideas, and some good laughs.

Upcoming Living Room (24/25 Season)

With the generous support of The Greater Vancouver Professional Theatre Alliance:

November, 4th – Rumble & Friends: Ask Us Anything!

New to the Indie Theatre scene? Or maybe you’ve been around the block and are wondering what’s new post-COVID? Or maybe you just want to hang out – come as you are; you are welcome!

Join Rumble and friends for our first Living Room Salon, returning after a (state mandated) hiatus. This Living Room will be an “ask us anything” – meaning you truly can ask us anything. How do you apply for grants? Who’s this Brecht guy? What’s a dramaturge? Why are things still so racist? We may not have all the answers – but we’ve got a bunch, and we’re so happy to be sharing with you again.

Time: 7 pm (doors open at 6:30 pm)
Location: Progress Lab 1422 – Studio (1422 William St – map)
Tickets: Free Registration Here! (Capacity is limited, please RSVP ahead of time)

Got questions you want to bring to the Living Room? Fill out the Registration Form or email Jiv the day before with the Subject Line: Living Room Questions for Nov 4th, and the questions you have relevant to the theme.

Bring Ideas to The Living Room

Want to pitch us an idea for a future Living Room, or host one, or propose a novel format? Reach out to Jiv at jiv@rumble.org, we’d love to hear for you!

2019/2020

In 2019-2020, we invited Chelsea Haberlin (Neworld Theatre) and Emelia Syminton Fedy (The Chop) to discuss positionality in the creation of art in conversation with Rumble AD Jiv Parasram in “The Living Room: Identity Play”

In “The Living Room: Whose Show is it anyway?” We were delighted to welcome Maiko Yamamoto to talk about identifying audiences for our work. Some questions covered included: Who is your show made for? Who’s your audience? Local? National? International? What’s the difference anyway?
