About Single Thread

Single Thread Theatre Company creates immersive theatre experiences in Canada and internationally that seek to advance the art of immersive storytelling through innovation and the presentation of new works.

For the past two decades, Single Thread has played a role in shaping enthusiasm and best practices for ‘site-specific’ and ‘immersive’ theatre in Canada and worked with hundreds of emerging and established theatre artists.

About Single Thread XR

Single Thread XR builds the capacity of artists to engage with XR, brings together artists and technologists to share work in performance and XR, and seeks to create new work that explores the intersections of immersive theatre and XR.

In 2020, Single Thread partnered with Electric Company Theatre with support from the Canada Council for the Arts to produce PXR 2020 - a four day symposium which brought together over two hundred artists, administrators, academics and technologists from diverse backgrounds across Canada in virtual reality using the AltspaceVR social platform to discuss how artists are using XR media and feature presentations from thought leaders in the area of XR, panel discussions, host networking events for artists and technologists. PXR has since become an annual event taking place on VRChat, a free-to-use social VR platform.
