PXR2027 – DEADLINE: 2026/10/9

The PXR Conference celebrates the evolution of live performance in XR; that is virtual, augmented and mixed reality. Now in its 7th year, this national event brings Canadian & global creators together in VRChat and in-person across the country to share best practices for working within these new media. We are seeking proposals for PXR2027, which will take place in late February 2027.

This year, Single Thread Theatre is accepting applications that are 2D (Stream), Virtual (in VRChat) or In Person. All successful applicants will receive a presentation fee. 

VR Projects - Remote

Works experienced entirely within virtual reality, where the audience is fully immersed via headset or desktop PC. This includes interactive VR workshops, live VR performances, multiplayer VR gatherings, and artistic VR environments. These projects should be designed to take advantage of VR's immersive and interactive environments.

MR & AR Projects - Physical Venue

Works that take place in a physical space but incorporate Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) to layer digital elements onto the real world. This includes installations, live XR performances, AR exhibitions, projection mapping, and hybrid works where audiences are physically present. Accepting applications to present in Toronto and Kingston, ON, as well as Vancouver, BC. Please note you do not need to be in any of those cities to apply.

Two-Dimensional - Remote

Projects presented through a livestream or video conferencing feed. This includes livestreamed talks or presentations on platforms like Zoom, panel discussions, artist Q&As, recorded walkthroughs and demos. 

The PXR2027 Call for Proposals is EXTENDED until October 9th at 11:59PM ET!
