Winterruption 2013

Friday, February 22, 2013 – 9:00am – Sunday, February 24, 2013 – 7:00pm

Welcome to Winterruption on Granville Island, our eighth annual, truly unique Vancouver winter festival, February 22 – 24, 2013!
Parlez-Vous Français? You won’t need to speak the language to enjoy Vive Vendredi!  a celebration of Francophone flavours, comedy, cinema and music!   Savour French food and wine tastings, Juste Pour Rire stand-up comedy, bilingual artists and performers, and much more all weekend long.

Granville Island loves kids!  Visit the Kids Zone to make a mask or make music. Clown around with Ben LaBarouette, sing along with Will Stroet and his Backyard Band, and join Mortal Coil’s colourful towering stiltwalkers and The Brotherhood of  Brass Band as they wind their way through the streets of Granville Island.
At Performance Works, Coastal Jazz and Blues Society presents amazing music all weekend long.
If you *heart* original, local art, you’ll want to spend all weekend visiting exhibits and touring artists’ & artisans’ studios throughout the island. Join [ART]ifacts: The Granville Island Story, a tour exploring art and culture through a mosaic of eye-catching, unique, historic and innovative creations.  Red Hot Press is presented by Dundarave Print Workshop in the Net Loft, Western Canada’s oldest artist run cooperative printmaking studio and gallery, and Emily Carr University along with Opus Art Supplies offer tours and workshops all weekend.
The Island is alive with theatre and dance. See where the magic begins – behind the scenes – in the costume and production shop, or learn “The Art of the Bow” at the Arts Club Theatre Company. Expect the unexpected as some of Vancouver’s favourite dancers pop up in unusual spaces all over the Island, or take the little ones to Dr. Suess’s The Cat in the Hat presented by Carousel Theatre at the Waterfront Theatre.

Please let  Ms. Parmar know if you apply for this amazing opportunity!
