The Firehall Arts Centre is excited to remount the award-winning Circle Game: Reimagining the Music of Joni Mitchell from Saturday, January 12 to Saturday, February 9, 2019.

Circle Game: Reimagining the Music of Joni Mitchell

When: January 12 to February 9, 2019
Where: Firehall Arts Centre (280 E. Cordova, Vancouver)
Tickets: From $25 online or call (604) 689-0926

The enduring music of Canadian icon and renowned singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell is reimagined in this energetic musical experience. Conceived and directed by two of Vancouver’s own theatrical powerhouses, Andrew Cohen and Anna Kuman, Circle Game features six quadruple-threat talents including Benjamin Millman, Scott Perrie, Adriana Ravalli, Kimmy Choi, Samantha Bourque and David Z. Cohen. Together, they play eighteen instruments, creating modern variations on themes by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell.

One of the most influential female recording artists of the late 20th century, Joni Mitchell has often reflected on social and environmental ideals through her music. Millennial culture celebrates the repurposed and the upcycled. Mitchell’s music stands the test of time and once again she is the voice of a generation. The heartbreak of a failed love affair in “River”, the fear of imminent ecological disaster in “Big Yellow Taxi”, and the promise of a generation gathering to ‘get back to the garden’ in “Woodstock” are topics that resound as heavily today as they did fifty years ago.

I’ve spent over 2 months on the road this year, on writing assignments, working remotely, and visiting family, so when someone introduces me to clothing that not only travels well but looks good, I’m in! Canadian Helene Clarkson‘s designs are versatile, reversible and stylish clothing for the female urban traveler, beautifully crafted in Canada, designed for the carry-on, and made for life. So, naturally when I heard that she had a pop-up shop in Vancouver, I had to check it out.

Helene Clarkson’s Fashion Pop-Up in Vancouver

Choose from a selection of travel items (like gym bags, purses, wallets, accessories, and more) along with tops, skirts, dresses, pants, and jackets – many of which can be worn four different ways! Items can go from day to night, work to play. The best part is that the garments are wrinkle resistant – there’s no need to pack a steamer or use that hotel iron tucked away in the closet.

Helene Clarkson Pop-Up in Vancouver

I picked up the Zia 4-Way Reversible Dress and it’s been rolled up and carted around in my carry on all up and down the West Coast this fall. Every time I pulled it out of my bag and put it on, the wrinkles disappeared and it hugged my curves like the first time I tried it on in the pop-up change room. One dress also gives four different looks, dressed up or dressed down.

Visit the Helene Clarkson Pop-up Shop for yourself inside Vancouver’s Royal Centre, Unit 170, until February 28, 2019. It’s open Monday to Friday 9:30am to 5:30pm and Saturday 10:00am to 4:00pm.

Check out more styles on her website and via Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Happy shopping, and happy travels!
