Rogue Naturalist

Rogue Naturalist Fine arts meets nature-based science education. Theatre, music, and visual arts techniques make exploring science and math truly exciting!

Welcome to Rogue Naturalist Science Theatre! The Rogue Naturalist does things off the beaten path, using a distinctive blend of arts and science. No boring science lectures here! None of the same old games and models everyone else has been doing forever! This naturalist has gone rogue! Using a fine arts method to teach scientific and mathematical concepts is one of the most effective learning expe

riences your students or audiences will ever have. Interactive, physical, funny, and compelling, the integration of arts and science makes use of every learner’s innate sense of play and discovery. While most of the work done at Rogue Naturalist is theatre-based, there are options for both music and visual arts programming, as well as the longer and more intensive residency programs, which can encompass multiple art forms and science concepts. We are a Calgary, Alberta-based company, but we do occasionally tour shows or travel for custom projects. If you are interested in a program, contact us below and make an inquiry. If you feel intrigued, please contact Rogue Naturalist for more information. Custom programming is a specialty here, so if you have a question or an inspiration and want to know if something is possible, always ask! Chances are pretty good that we can make something quite marvellous out of your idea!

A couple days late, but an important message!
Spread the spider love!

Today is Save a Spider Spider Day, but really this is a day we should observe every day! The vast majority of spiders are of great benefit to us. They help control pest populations and their impressive range of unique adaptations have provided breakthroughs for us in a wide range of fields including medicine, science, manufacturing and even robotics.

Now You Know! - Cellar spiders (Pholcidae) are members of the Pholcidae family of arachnids. They have very thin, long legs and a body shape resembling a peanut. They are found on every continent in the world except Antarctica. These spiders are beneficial because they reduce the population of other more harmful household pests.
