Montreal-based Rubberband dance company’s 2020 show was the first Dancehouse cancelled because of the pandemic, so it’s fitting that it’s also the first one they’re bringing back to live audiences. Ever So Slightly combines “capoeira and b-boy style;” it’s a high-energy performance you’ll want to ooh and ahh over.
When: Thursday October 21 to Saturday October 23, shows at 8:00 p.m.Where: Vancouver PlayhouseCost: From $35More Info: dancehouse.ca
The Vancouver Writers Fest is back in hybrid form with workshops, panels and readings from authors from here and beyond.

The Arts Umbrella’s annual art auction and gala is this weekend, and online tickets are still available. For a remote experience, it’s pretty sweet—a livestream of the event, home catering delivery with cocktails, dedicated phone bidding, and an invitation to a Pendulum Gallery private tour. There’s work from almost 100 local and international artists (including the piece by Dana Claxton pictured above) available. The event proceeds benefit youth arts education across Metro Vancouver.

It’s cozy season, and if you’re looking to update your linens (and not play a guessing game of is-this-actually-comfy while shopping online) you can head over to Once a Tree—they’re hosting a pop-up with Au Lit Fine Linens until the end of November. They’re the only retailer in Canada carrying an exclusive collection, so this is your only change to touch before buying.
