Inner Fish Performance Co., founded in 2010, is a non-profit interdisciplinary performance company based in Kelowna, B.C. We collaborate with other local non-profit organizations to provide contemporary, professional live art experiences. Since 2017, we have proudly produced the Living Things International Arts Festival.

 

Held annually over 10 days in January, Living Things showcases a diverse range of performance genres and styles, with a focus on formal innovation and object-based live arts such as mask performance, puppetry, music, dance, and interactive installations.

​

Artistically directed and curated by Neil Cadger, the festival features international, Canadian, and regional artists, and collaborates in co-presentations with regional festivals and presenters such as the PuSH Festival in Vancouver, the Alternator Centre, and the Rotary Centre for the Arts in Kelowna. Festival venues include the Mary Irwin Theatre, the Kelowna Community Theatre, the Black Box Theatre, and various other locations throughout Kelowna. Our mission is to present innovative performances and foster collaboration among artists from diverse disciplines. Inner Fish is committed to providing professional opportunities for emerging interdisciplinary artists and engaging with minority communities.
