Downtown Eastside (E Cordova St)
More infoThe Firehall Arts Centre is a restored 1906 fire station, brick still showing, which lends every show a strange charge: contemporary dance in a room that once held ladders and hose. The studio stage seats about 130, close enough that you can nearly touch the performance. Programming leans toward Indigenous and culturally diverse voices, and there is a gallery-lounge for a civilized pre-show glass of wine. Arrive early.
Grab the pre-show glass of wine in the lounge, then take in brave, current work, lots of Indigenous and culturally diverse voices, on a 130-seat studio stage in a century-old fire hall with the brick still showing. You're close enough to practically touch the performance, which makes for a charged, talk-about-it kind of night, about two hours of it. When it ends, pick somewhere in nearby Chinatown to keep the conversation going.
