OVERVIEW
The idea for the Love is Love Mile goes back a few years and while it was never meant to be a virtual event, Run Calgary and Calgary Pride didn’t want to wait to bring more love to this wonderful city so we launched it in 2020 to help celebrate the 30th anniversary of Calgary Pride. We are still working out the details for the 2021 edition and can’t wait to bring it to you in-person soon!
In-Person date: TBD
Virtual Race Window coincides with Calgary Pride Week: August 27 to September 5

We celebrate the results with the debut of this new work in a performance led by conductor Leslie B. Dunner, accompanied by the mural artwork, and music by Duke Ellington and Florence Price.

“Flack’s power of observation and characterization are stunning” – NOW MAGAZINE
CBC radio host and award-winning actor, writer and performer Diane Flacks comes to the Big Secret Theatre with an all-new darkly comedic solo performance.
An exploration of regret, disaster, and accountability from the perspective of a self-sacrificing Jewish mother who initiates a marriage explosion. It begins in a drunken comedic style and proceeds to do a deep dive into the unshakable monster that is Guilt.
Diane has been hailed for her ability to mix humour and pathos in an intoxicating brew, and serve it like the spicy mama she is.
Dark, funny and poignant, Diane Flacks will captivate audiences in this must-see hit.

One Yellow Rabbit's High Performance Rodeo
2023-01-16 12:00 - 2023-02-05 00:00 | Arts Commons, 205 8th Avenue SE, Calgary, AB, T2G 0K9, Canada
For three wild weeks starting January 16 through February 5, One Yellow Rabbit’s High Performance Rodeo, Calgary’s International Festival of the Arts, is where the action is. It’s a chance to watch touring performances from across Canada, acclaimed international shows, and new and experimental work from artists here in Calgary. The programming is bold, cutting-edge, funny, frank, and full of heart. There’s theatre, dance, music, film, free lunchtime concerts, late-night cabarets, and so much more. Shows in the basement of the Calgary Tower, at the Royal Canadian Legion, in the +15’s, a wrestling ring, an elevator, in City Hall, Eau Claire Market, the Glenbow, Central Library, Big Secret Theatre, Lunchbox, DJD, and the Jack Singer Concert Hall.
The High Performance Rodeo takes over downtown Calgary in all shapes, sizes, and sounds – defying description and tantalizing the tastes of arts and culture lovers. Audiences brave the January cold or revel in the chinook heat-wave, comb over the festival guide, and come out to play. The High Performance Rodeo is about championing creativity, building community, celebrating diverse voices, and promoting self-expression in all forms. For 37 years, the festival has been a launching pad for local artists and a spotlight onto the world’s stage. It’s a unique experience that only happens here.
The programming is multi-faceted in its diversity; renowned for being rich with progressive, wild and powerfully inventive performances. Mesmerizing contemporary dance to thought-provoking performances designed to challenge the worldviews held by the audience, international theatre hits, emerging artists and productions, immersive sensory journies, modern Indigenous art and theatre, music and more, transform the cultural landscape of Calgary and leave lasting impressions that extend beyond the city borders.
