| Yeehaaww! January is Rodeo month in Calgary. Time to saddle up and head on down to One Yellow Rabbit’s High Performance Rodeo, that annual festival of experimental theatre, dance, music, performance art, poetry and – this year – radio, too.
In this issue and in the coming weeks, Fast Forward will preview and review the programming for what has become one of Canada’s foremost exhibitions of out-on-the-edge performance.
