Rumble Presents: Good Things To Do

For nearly 30 yearsRumblehas operated as a chameleon in our local community, with a strong priority on sector development. Though our artistic vision has morphed along with our leadership since our inception, one of Rumble’s core aims has always been to respond to our ecology using our infrastructure to enhance, strengthen, and develop the independent theatre community in Metro Vancouver; located on the unceded and occupied territories of the Coast Salish peoples of thexʷməθkwəy̓əm(Musqueam),Skwxwú7mesh(Squamish), andSəl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

“You are safe here. But out there I’m not always sure.”
Blending live and recorded sound, a dreamy, solitary physical environment, and an unexpected use of technology, Good Things to Do invites participants to place themselves within a dreamscape in which they possess extraordinary powers. This wondrously immersive experience is a meditation on goodness, generosity, and the struggle to stay tender in a world that asks us to be hard.
Originally conceived as an installation-style performance piece, Good Things To Do has been re-tailored for an at-home experience. Though the work is still in development and was not scheduled to be performed this season, the creators, galvanized by the possibility of offering participants some respite from the current surge of intensity and uncertainty, found the work to be well-suited to digital transmission. The moment dictated the medium—and emboldened the project with new urgency.
Good Things To Do runs 45 minutes long, with performances at set times.  Preregistration is required and capacity is limited – just like an IRL show! Because of the interactive nature of the performance, your attendance must be confirmed 15 minutes prior to the start or your spot will be offered to someone else.  You will not be seen or heard, but every participant’s presence is significant to the performance. This performance is best enjoyed with a laptop and a set of headphones, but other set-ups are possible – ask us at <A HREF="mailto:goddthingstodo@rumble.org" TARGET="_blank" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">goodthingstodo@rumble.org</A>
 
Good Things to Do was conceived by Siminovitch Protegee Prize recipient Christine Quintana, in collaboration with Jessie Award winning collaborative artist and violinist Molly MacKinnon, with sound and recorded music by Jessie Award winning composer Mishelle Cuttler and an original digital interface created by digital artist Sam MacKinnon.  The piece appeared in workshop form at the inaugural foldA in Kingston, and at the rEvolver Festival in Vancouver.
