SUMMARY:Victoria Raskin Live
DESCRIPTION:Vancouver singer\, songwriter\, and performer Victoria Raskin will bring her ambitious new production Victoria Raskin Live to Performance Works on Granville Island on Thursday\, November 20\, 2025. Doors open at 6:30 PM\, show starts at 7 PM. \nAn evening of music\, dance\, theatre\, and immersive storytelling\, Victoria Raskin Live is set to be a one-of-a-kind experience in Vancouver’s independent music scene – a spectacle that pushes the boundary between concert and performance art. A true labour of love\, the show was made possible through generous support from the Armenian Cultural Association of BC and a network of friends and family who rallied behind Raskin’s vision. In that same spirit of community\, partial proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief (SOAR). \nFar from a traditional concert\, Victoria Raskin Live promises a dynamic\, genre-blending experience. Expect hidden dancers in the audience\, choreographed sequences\, Swarovski-covered costumes\, cabaret chairs\, and see-through umbrellas glowing with fairy lights – all wrapped in a narrative designed to pull audiences into Raskin’s world. The show will also feature six dancers choreographed by Malia McMullen (known for her work in film and television\, including World of Dance)\, and a live band featuring Tim Charman (bass)\, Chris Sallis-Lyon (drums)\, Nathan Barrett (trumpet / sousaphone) and Cole Tinney (keyboard). \nFor more information\, please visit victoriaraskin.com.

SUMMARY:Thomas Anfield: Sock Monkey Pop Up Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Vancouver-based artist Thomas Anfield has found a perfect mix of tragicomedy\, playfulness\, and human truth in a subject he’s painted for over twenty years: the beloved Sock Monkey. In his latest exhibition\, Sock Monkey Scenarios\, Anfield explores the labyrinthine and tangled conditions of being human through these iconic\, anthropomorphic figures. \nThe paintings invite viewers into carefully choreographed scenes where Sock Monkeys pose singly or in groups\, spinning\, slumping\, or standing nobly as if thinking great thoughts. Sometimes they appear joyful and lighthearted; other times\, grotesque or melancholic. Their gestures and relationships mirror our own\, evoking both laughter and reflection. \nA contemporary figurative painter and performance artist\, Anfield has exhibited internationally across North America\, Europe\, Russia\, and\nAfrica at venues including The National Gallery of Senegal\, and Salon de Plastica Mexicana. He was the co-creator of the company Butoh-A-GO-GO\, who were invited by the Moscow Ballet to perform on three different occasions. They were also awarded a full production residency\nat Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity\, creating work which then premiered at the Vancouver International Dance Festival. His paintings\nhave been featured in Modern Painters\, Elle\, Maclean’s\, Vancouver Magazine\, and Preview Magazine. Anfield is a Canada Council\, Inter-\nArts grant recipient and a Dance grant recipient.

SUMMARY:East Side Culture Crawl 2025
DESCRIPTION:Vancouver’s Eastside opens up every November for the city’s biggest artist studio tour. Over 500 artists in 70+ buildings across Strathcona\, Railtown\, and the False Creek Flats invite you into their creative spaces for four days of art\, discovery\, and direct connection with the people making it. \nYou’ll wander through industrial buildings and converted warehouses\, stumbling onto unexpected treasures around every corner. It’s raw studios\, works in progress\, and real conversations with artists working in everything from painting and ceramics to textiles and digital media. \nThe event is free\, and it’s your chance to buy directly from artists (better prices\, more support for creators). Bring comfortable shoes\, some cash\, and a loose plan. With this many studios\, you can’t see everything\, and that’s okay. The best finds often happen when you follow your curiosity into a building you hadn’t planned on visiting. \nCheck culturecrawl.ca for dates and locations.

SUMMARY:East Van Panto: West Van Story
DESCRIPTION:A West Van crew. An East Van gang. One wild holiday romance in the middle of a dance battle and a housing crisis. It’s East Van Panto: West Van Story – where love gets weird and the rent’s still too darn high! \n\n\n\n\nWhen a freak atmospheric tsunami strands West Van influencer Holly\, and her curling crew The Hurry Hards\, deep in the wilds of East Van\, she’s ready for disaster — but not the romantic kind. Enter Joes: charming\, striking\, and a proud member of The East Van Pets… their sworn enemies!\n\n\n\n\nAs Holly battles the expectations of her West Van mega-developer motherfather\, Boberta Rainy\, she finds herself caught between two cities\, two families\, and one seriously unexpected romance. Will she follow her heart — and Joes — into a new world of love\, dance battles\, and civic resistance? Or will Boberta’s towers and renovictions crush everything in their path? \nThis holiday season\, come watch Holly and Joes try to Second-Narrows-bridge their differences and sweep each other off their feet. Love\, laughter\, and low-income housing — now that’s a triple takeout! \nTheatre Replacement’s East Van Panto is back for its thirteenth (!) year — and this time\, we’re switching it up. Say goodbye to the classic fairy tale and hello to a Romeo-and-Juliet-inspired romp like only East Van can deliver! \nEast Van Panto: West Van Story brings together a mix of new and familiar faces: Playwright Marcus Youssef (Wizard of Oz\, Pinocchio) teams up with newcomer Pedro Chamale\, and making her Panto debut is Director Chelsea Haberlin. And of course\, no East Van Panto would be complete without our beloved Composer extraordinaire Veda Hille. \nGet ready for another year of East Van’s wackiest\, most joyfully subversive all-ages tradition!

SUMMARY:The Mush Hole
DESCRIPTION:The Cultch & Urban Ink present: The Mush Hole \nA theatrical dance performance about Canada’s first Indian residential school\, The Mohawk Institute\, a.k.a. The Mush Hole. From 1828 to 1970\, State and Church systems worked to sever Indigenous children from their families\, culture\, and language. Through the eyes of two generations of Survivors\, The Mush Hole evokes the raw\, unflinching realities of this legacy. \nFeaturing a powerhouse all-Indigenous cast\, the performance fuses visceral movement\, haunting cinematic imagery\, and a stirring original score to summon the experiences still held within the school’s bricks and mortar. Inspired by Survivors’ testimonials\, The Mush Hole is not only a reckoning\, it’s a radiant story of resistance\, remembrance\, and the courage to find light in even the darkest places. \n“The Mush Hole is a story about hope and finding light in dark places\, as much as it speaks to intergenerational trauma\, it screams resilience. Every single element represented on stage comes from survivors sharing their experiences with us” —Santee Smith; Creator\, Director\, and Performer \nPresented as part of TRANSFORM Festival 2025. \nFor more information and tickets\, visit thecultch.com/event/the-mush-hole
