ABOUT US

MANDATE Our mandate is to promote conscious evolution through Theatre, emphasizing themes of social justice.

 

HISTORY Tottering Biped Theatre (TBT) was founded in 2009 as a social justice inspired theatre company. We devise contemporary pieces through a workshop process spanning several years to create highly physical performances. Major projects have included: 'Shakespeare by Nature', our summer series of classical works; our TED Talk on gender neutral partner dance, and our physical theatre creations combining Mime with orchestras, text, and other mediums. Our works have addressed poverty, Israeli-Palestinian relations, same sex marriage, homophobia, violence against women, and mental health.

 

TBT has toured to/been presented by regional professional theatres (Hamilton’s Theatre Aquarius, London’s Grand Theatre, and Kitchener’s MT Space), performing arts centres  (Burlington, Oakville, Guelph, Brampton, Hamilton, Mississauga, Richmond Hill), and theatre festivals (IMPACT, Undercurrents, In the Soil) as well as internationally (USA, Ireland, Albania, Serbia). Our work has been featured in over 15 publications including CBC, the Canadian Theatre Review, Dance International, Whole Note, and TED.com.
