In development...
Radix Associate Billy Marchenski leads a project inspired by the 1986 Chornobyl (as it's spelled in Ukraine) nuclear accident. A roving, site-specific theatre and dance performance, co-created with Alison Denham and other artists. The team will undergo two-week creation phase this July, with final production scheduled for May 2013.
Support the project and hear Billy and Alison talk about it here:
Slowpoke: (acronym for Safe Low-Power Kritical Experiment) is a small nuclear reactor designed in Canada in the late 1960s, housed on many Canadian universities primarily for research purposes. Six of them are still in use today according to Wikipidea.
Slowpoke features a series of performance micro-events tied to the project, which began with our screening of Stalker last summer, and Xenon 135 last December. Now, Xenon 135 is coming to the Sunshine Coast. Please spread the word.

Part of Vancouver Drawdown, Radix presents a Micro/Macro Drawing Lab. Zoom in and draw worlds unseen by the human eye. Then zoom out and draw the macro-organisms in the Roundhouse theatre.
The group of Vancouver theatre companies known as Progress Lab (makers of HIVE) thought making theatre wasn’t difficult enough, so they created OBSTRUCTIONS. A secret committee chooses three challenges for one company to undertake in presenting one evening’s torture—er, entertainment. Radix was asked to re-visit the source material for BEUTFL PRBLMS, in the style of a French Farce, with a set made of carrots. Come on out to see what happens, Saturday July 28, 8pm. 1422 William Street
