Since its founding in 2003, Theatre Replacement (TR) has become a hub for cutting-edge, original performance. Rooted in Vancouver’s artistic community, the company fosters artists and works that create transformation through artistic innovation and integrity, expanding the boundaries of contemporary performance.

Led by Artistic Director Maiko Yamamoto, TR creates ground-breaking contemporary works of performance for audiences in Vancouver, Canada and internationally, while also producing public programs that serve our local community. From our beloved holiday tradition, the East Van Panto (now in its 14th year!) and the related summer camps for kids, to our artist-centred HOLD ON LET GO festival and our Accelerator Lab mentorship program, which both foster the next generations of Vancouver artists, TR continues to be vital to our local ecosystem of experimental artists and adventurous audiences.

Theatre Replacement relies on the support of valuable donors, who ensure our projects, programs and operations can continue. If you like what we do, or you have benefitted from our projects and programs, please consider making a donation today. Thank you for being a critical part of TR!

ABOUT THE COMPANY: 

TR’s work is grounded in the creation of original, experimental and intercultural works of performance. Since the company’s beginnings, we've held fast to an ethos of co-existence, and this idea still runs through everything we do. Our new works are built through highly collaborative processes, over extended working periods and foreground diverse artists. With an incredible roster of Associate and Resident Artists, as well as ongoing and new collaborators, we've built a body of work that forwards our aesthetic and conceptual interests in creating and sharing bold, contemporary performances. Our works tend to question the ways in which the performance and the audience interact. We look to answer larger questions we are asking in and of the world. As we continue to make new performances, our processes include collaborating and intersecting with artists and people who hold different perspectives, histories and identities — this is how we define our intercultural practice.

We've also designed programs that share what we do and how we do it with other artists through various opportunities for mentorship, residency, professional development and networking. We are invested in cultural exchange and international dialogue and actively seek out ways in which our work can be in conversation with the world through presentation opportunities, creative partnerships and strategic initiatives.

TR’s work has been presented at internationally recognized festivals and venues including: Festival TransAmériques (Montréal), Magnetic North Theatre Festival (Ottawa, Vancouver, Kitchener, Whitehorse), Free Fall Festival + Factory Theatre (Toronto), PuSh International Performing Arts Festival + The Cultch (Vancouver), High Performance Rodeo (Calgary), On the Boards (Seattle), Fusebox Festival (Austin, TX), Noorderzon Festival (Groningen, NL), PAZZ Performing Arts Festival (Oldenburg, Germany), Lókal + Everybody’s Spectacular Festivals (Reykjavik), A! Festival (Akureyri, Iceland), Terni Festival (Italy), Dublin Fringe Festival + Dublin Theatre Festival (Ireland), Foreign Affairs (Berlin), Soho Rep.
