about

Our Mission

Sound the Alarm:  Music/Theatre engages communities through exceptional artistic performances that are collaborative, innovative and approached through various genres of music and other performing arts.

Sound the Alarm:  Music/Theatre (formerly known as BC Living Arts) was founded in 2007, and is a registered Canadian/BC charity.

OUR APPROACH:

'Theatre of Music and Sound' sits at the heart of what we do.  It’s our passion.

We push the interpretive possibilities of music and sound through all its dramatic capacities, and whenever possible, include new technologies and new ways of generating sound and tonal language.

By marrying music and sound with a synergistic form of performance (opera, musical theatre, traditional theatre, dance, cabaret, movement, circus, interactive media etc) our approach fosters collaboration between artistic genres and enables us to delve together into new artistic territories.We collaborate with communities and people who are directly affected by the social issues presented in our projects, and by understanding their stories, we ensure the messages we deliver are authentic.

OUR CORE BELIEFS:

1/ Music and Theatre has the power to challenge, transform, connect and energize. 

2/ Arts can help amplify awareness of (or 'sound the alarm' for) social needs/issues that we feel are not being heard, listened to, or understood by wider society.

WE AIM TO:

1/ Create experiences & conversations that 'sound the alarm' on social issues. 

2/ Encourage audiences to pause, listen, and experience different perspectives.

3/ Help to keep Canadian communities thriving and culturally vibrant by making innovative, high quality programming accessible to as wide an audience as possible.

4/ Develop domestic talent.5/ Collaborate with organizations and companies that are supportive of developing artistic communities.
