Mochi, Daifuku & Japanese Tea by Kumi
Soft, chewy, and impossibly satisfying — daifuku is one of Japan's most beloved sweets, made with a soft, chewy mochi dough wrapped around a sweet filling. The name means "great luck," and eating one feels exactly that way. In this fun, hands-on class, Kumi of Atelier WA teaches the full process behind traditional wagashi-style daifuku mochi, starting from scratch. You'll begin by making anko, the sweetened red bean paste at the heart of classic daifuku, before moving on to the mochi dough itself — kneading and steaming it into the soft, elastic texture that makes daifuku so distinct. Once the dough has cooled, you'll wrap your own daifuku by hand, learning the technique that gives each piece its smooth, rounded finish. Along the way, Kumi will walk you through the history and meaning behind mochi and daifuku, and demonstrate the art of preparing Japanese tea — the traditional companion to any wagashi. The class wraps up with a tasting of your handiwork alongside a cup of tea, and you'll leave with four freshly made daifuku mochi to take home. —– BOOK NOW! – $79 +HST – https://thedepanneur.ca/products/cooking-class-mochi-daifuku-japanese-tea-by-kumi-oct24 —– Kumi was born and raised in Japan and moved to Toronto in 2024 by way of the UK, where she launched Atelier WA in 2025, offering wagashi workshops and bespoke sweets. Her approach draws on time spent living in Tokyo, New York, and London, and she trained under Momotose Yukako Yasuda in wagashi, holds a nerikiri teaching certification from the Japan Salonaise Association, and is a certified Japanese tea advisor, alongside a Vegan Natural Chef Diploma from the UK's College of Naturopathic Medicine and cake decorating training from Le Cordon Bleu London. Kumi brings a sense of seasonality and natural beauty to her sweets, favouring local, organic ingredients whenever possible — many of her wagashi are naturally plant-based and gluten-free, making them a treat suited to a wide range of diets. @tokyo_plantcakery

LANDSLIDE: Signature Programme 4
FFDN Original Commission | World Premiere Lead commissioning support provided by The Bulmash-Siegel Foundation Landslide by Rock Bottom Movement is a surreal contemporary dance work exploring parenthood, desire, expectation and doubt. Choreographer Alyssa Martin skillfully blends post-modern dance, biting theatricality and an original score with humor and joy. Program Rock Bottom Movement’s full-length work, Landslide , brings together divergent perspectives on parenthood, channeling biological desire, expectation and doubt into the body as a site of big questioning. Surreal, aggressive and surprising, Rock Bottom’s contemporary choreography smashes patriarchal norms with fusion of post-modern dance and biting theatricality. Set to an original composition by Jacobi Vanderham and Britta Johnson inspired by Fleetwood Mac’s iconic ballad, Landslide pulses with the question of whether, or not, to usher in a new generation.

Lyre Liar
Toronto Premiere In this solo show, the stunning UK-based dancer Liam Francis opens up about the challenges and emotions of stepping into singular roles created by his dance heroes, including Merce Cunningham, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Kate Prince. Program A young Liam Francis was first inspired to dance after watching Kate Prince’s Into the Hoods , captivated by its electric hip-hop style. Soon after, he encountered Merce Cunningham’s RainForest and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui’s Faun . Each of these aesthetic revelations marked a profound turning point, after which nothing felt quite the same. Years later, Francis would find himself performing these masterpieces, discovering along the way that he had the right to love postmodern dance as deeply as he loved hip-hop. In Lyre Liar , Francis traces the encounters that shaped his singular style and the unlikely intersections between them. With the support of a striking feathered companion, he creates a performance that is part dance portrait, part lecture-demonstration and part autobiography, illuminating both the joy and the burden of a life shaped by learning through imitation. Liam captures how it feels to stare up at your artistic gods – the ones who inspired you to be here and do this – and then try to climb the mountain and walk among them. This is the experience of every artist you will see at our festival and Liam lays it bare to stunning effect. – Robert Binet, Artistic Director & Co-CEO, Fall for Dance North

Cannoli from Scratch with Erica Foffi
Crisp shells, creamy filling, and a dessert that must be assembled at the very last moment. Cannoli are one of Sicily’s most iconic sweets, rooted in tradition and craftsmanship rather than shortcuts. In this hands-on class, Italian cook Erica Foffi walks you through the techniques behind authentic Sicilian cannoli, focusing on what truly makes the difference between meh and meraviglioso: homemade shells. Students will learn how to make traditional cannoli shells from scratch, starting with making, rolling and shaping the dough, then carefully frying the shells until crisp, golden, and perfectly blistered. Erica will also demonstrate how to prepare a smooth, well-balanced ricotta crema and how to properly fill the cannoli shells. The class finishes with the final assembly of the cannoli and classic decorations such as pistachios, chocolate, and candied citrus.

Frankenstein (1931)
“Karloff gives one of the great performances of all time as the monster whose mutation from candour to chill savagery is mirrored only through his limpid eyes. The film's great imaginative coup is to show the monster 'growing up' in all too human terms. First he is the innocent baby, reaching up to grasp the sunlight that filters through the skylight. Then the joyous child, playing at throwing flowers into the lake with a little girl whom he delightedly imagines to be another flower. And finally, as he finds himself progressively misjudged by the society that created him, the savage killer as whom he has been typecast. The film is unique in Whale's work in that the horror is played absolutely straight, and it has a weird fairytale beauty not matched until Cocteau made La Belle et la Bête .” – Time Out Want more chills and thrills?

Baby Doe
Thirty years ago, Gail Ritchey, a young woman from a conservative Christian community in rural Ohio, gave birth alone and left her newborn in the woods. Now a devoted mother of three, her quiet suburban life is shattered when DNA evidence links her to the infamous cold case of “Geauga’s Child,” leading to her arrest for murder. Authorities dismiss her claim that the baby was stillborn, and the media swiftly vilify her. Facing a possible life sentence, Gail turns to her husband, Mark, and their adult children, who struggle to reconcile the woman they love with the accusations against her. With her attorney, Steven, she must confront the weight of societal and religious pressures—and her own long-buried shame—to fight for her freedom. Directed by Jessica Earnshaw ( Jacinta ), Baby Doe cuts through the headlines to uncover the human complexity of Gail’s case. With a compassionate yet unflinching lens, the film examines the intersection of women’s health, justice, and the societal forces that continue to shape stories like hers. Join director Jessica Earnshaw for a special post-screening Q&A. TICKETS (+HST) General: $15 Members: $10, $8, FREE

Begone Dull Care: The Films of Norman McLaren and Evelyn Lambart
Canadian animation pioneers Norman McLaren and Evelyn Lambart transformed the landscape of Canadian filmmaking by treating animation as an art of movement, sound and experimentation. Born in Scotland and based in Canada from the 1940s, McLaren became one of the National Film Board of Canada’s most influential artists, developing innovative techniques that included drawing and painting directly onto film, creating animation without a camera, and synchronizing hand-drawn images to the music of celebrated musicians like Glenn Gould, Ravi Shankar, and Oscar Peterson. His playful, abstract films have won more than 200 awards including several Oscar® nominations and a win, a Palme d’Or, and inclusion in the UNESCO Memory of the World Register, which lists the most significant documentary heritage collections. Lambart, who worked closely with McLaren at the NFB, was a trailblazing animator in her own right, having been crowned the ‘First Lady of Canadian Animation’. Her delicate cut-out animations took inspiration from landscapes and folklore combining meticulous craftsmanship with a distinctive poetic sensibility. Together, McLaren and Lambart helped establish Canada as a major centre for experimental animation, leaving a lasting influence on generations of filmmakers and animators.

The Magic of Truffles with Hajira Ahmad
Masterclasses offer in-depth explorations of food and drink topics, presented by experts and accompanied by demonstrations and tastings. Truffles are among the most coveted ingredients in the culinary world — revered for centuries in the great kitchens of France and Italy, and prized as much for their rarity as for their heady, unmistakable aroma. Found only in specific climates, growing wild underground alongside the roots of oak, hazelnut and other trees, they can only be located with the help of specially trained dogs working by scent alone. Nearly impossible to cultivate and available for only a few weeks each year, that scarcity is a big part of the mystique. Join truffle hunter and forager Hajira Ahmad of Black Gold Experiences for a delicious foray into the complex world of truffles — part presentation, part demonstration, part indulgent truffle feast. Hajira's passion for truffles was sparked on countless trips to Italy, and eventually led her to train her beloved dog Angelo to hunt them alongside her across the UK and Italy. She'll walk guests through how truffles are unearthed from the forest floor, the different types found across Italy's truffle regions, and what sets a real truffle product apart from the artificial "truffle flavouring" found on most grocery shelves. There will be a presentation diving into the history, culture and process of truffle foraging, as well as live demonstration on how to make an exquisite truffle pizza. You will enjoy an elegant selection of truffle canapés showcasing Hajira's line of premium Italian truffle products — made in small batches using traditional artisan methods, with a truffle content of 6–10% black truffle and 2–5% white truffle (well above the 1–2% typical of most commercial truffle goods, and without any artificial truffle flavouring), finished with fresh Autumn truffles (Tuber uncinatum) Hajira foraged herself in Italy. Trio of Truffle Canapés White truffle & porcini mushroom crème in crisp savoury cases, artichoke & black truffle crostini, and Italian triple brie with truffle honey on olive oil sfoglie crackers. Truffle Pizza Demo Hajira will walk guests through her own recipe for a truffle & wild mushroom pizza bianca, finished with shavings of fresh Autumn truffle — a simple technique that shows just how easily truffles can elevate an everyday dish. While the pizzas bake, she will guide you through a video presentation and Q&A on truffles, truffle hunting and truffle products follows, before the pizza is served family-style alongside a simple green salad. Dessert We'll end with a luscious dish of whipped ricotta with figs and truffle honey. At the close of the event, guests will have the chance to purchase Hajira's truffle products at an exclusive discount — as well as the option to pick up fresh truffles that will be available for pre-order the week before the event. —– BOOK NOW! – $99+ HST – https://thedepanneur.ca/products/masterclass-discovering-truffles-with-hajira-ahmad —– Hajira Ahmad is a mother, truffle-hunter, photographer, event planner & chef is based in London.

Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox - The Future Is Vintage World Tour
A sumptuous vintage-inspired musical experience Postmodern Jukebox — the internationally acclaimed music collective famed for their signature time-twisting style, transforming some of our most loved songs into dazzling vintage masterpieces — has announced a brand-new 56 date trek titled The Future is Vintage Tour. The tour kicks off in Finland on April 17th and travels through mainland Europe and the UK before heading to Australia & New Zealand in June. Renowned for their joyous, high-energy live shows, the multi-talented troupe of singers, dancers and instrumentalists will bring a brand new production to stages across the country — putting a retro spin on everything from ’70s rock classics and ’80s Britpop staples to today’s chart-toppers, movie themes and even video-game soundtracks. Packed with dance-ready numbers and jaw-dropping showstoppers, it’s a show that works just as well for a big night out as it does for the perfect family outing. Founded in New York by pianist and arranger Scott Bradlee in 2011, Postmodern Jukebox began as a series of videos recorded in a small apartment, transforming contemporary pop songs into vintage jazz, swing, and soul arrangements. What started as a YouTube sensation has since evolved into a global touring phenomenon, with sold-out shows on six continents and over a billion online views. The rotating cast has featured some of the most remarkable vocalists, musicians and performers working today — artists whose charisma, stagecraft and extraordinary musicality have made Postmodern Jukebox shows unlike anything else on the touring circuit. For more than a decade, fans around the world have flocked to these concerts not just for the music, but for the pure theatrical thrill: a meticulously crafted night of escapism, humour, virtuosity, and irresistible fun. Speaking about the upcoming tour, Bradlee said: "In the midst of the AI hype all around us, some folks have gone so far as to proclaim that in the not-so-distant future, all of the music that we listen to will be AI generated... we’ll gladly take the other side of that wager. On the 2026 Postmodern Jukebox North American tour, we're humbly presenting our own unique vision of a spectacular future; one that is built upon the timeless musical genres of the past and the authentically human spirit of creativity that inspired them." Fans are encouraged to dress in their vintage best and step into the immersive world of Postmodern Jukebox for a night of musical time travel — a feel-good celebration that honours the past, energises the present, and champions a brilliantly human future for music.

The Black Parade Halloween Emo Night Toronto at Sneaky Dee's

Bride of Frankenstein
“These days, it's pretty much a given that a hit film will get a follow-up of sorts. In 1931, when James Whale's Frankenstein was breaking all kinds of box office records and establishing Universal Studios as a major force, the rules weren't so clearly laid out. The studio wasn't really too sure how this softly-spoken British director had made such an incredible, ground-breaking horror movie in the first place. And, as he was clearly on a roll following his hit with The Invisible Man and The Old Dark House , the studio pretty much let him get on with the sequel as he saw fit. Bride of Frankenstein is a wild ride, even today. It flits between the classical and the gutter, the camp and the serious in a manner that's hard to pin down. Boris Karloff is brought back as the monster, this time with dialogue (audiences would have expected no less), and Colin Clive returns as the Doctor, recast by Whale for his inimitable "hysterical quality", despite his worsening alcoholism. What the audience wouldn't or couldn't have anticipated was Ernest Thesiger's wonderfully fey and flamboyant Dr Septimus Pretorius (the studio wanted—but didn't get—Claude Rains), and his experimental royal family of homunculi, and Elsa Lanchester in her vertical hairdo, complete with bleached lightning bolts. Whale gave audiences what they wanted, even if they didn't know it themselves.” – Phelim O'Neill, The Guardian Want more chills and thrills? Check out Hot Docs' Nightmares on Bloor Street series!

Once Upon a Time in Harlem
A decade after his death, one of the most significant and compelling filmmakers of the past century has one last trick up his sleeve: a trove of never-before-seen footage that he believed to be the most important he ever filmed. Genre-defying director William Greaves searches for the divine origins of his own creativity at a cocktail party he masterminded in 1972 for the living luminaries of the Harlem Renaissance. On a summer evening in 1972, a pivotal generation of Harlem Renaissance artists and intellectuals gathered at Duke Ellington’s townhouse. For over three hours, this extraordinary group—many of whom had not seen each other in fifty years—reminisced, critiqued, argued, laughed, and drank while wrestling with their place in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape. Shot on 16mm film and newly restored, William Greaves’ historic, cinema verité footage is at the heart of a new documentary film that will explore the role of the artist, the value of art in society, and the divine alchemy that led to one of the most vibrant periods in modern cultural history: The Harlem Renaissance. Directed by Greaves’ son David—one of three cameramen filming that day in 1972— Once Upon a Time in Harlem features artists Aaron Douglas, Richard Bruce Nugent, Ernest Crichlow and Romare Bearden, composers Eubie Blake and Noble Sissle, actor Leigh Whipper, poet Arna Bontemps, librarian Regina Andrews, activists Richard B. Moore and Louise Patterson, journalists Gerri Major and Ted Poston, historian John Henrik Clarke, theater impresarios Irvin C. Miller and Abram Hill, photographer James Van Der Zee, and more, as well as William Greaves himself. Louise Archambault Greaves, William’s wife and creative partner of 55 years, co-founded William Greaves Productions in 1963. Following his death in 2014, she worked tirelessly to restore his films and worked until her final days to ensure this landmark project would finally be realized. TICKETS (+HST) General: $15 Members: $10, $8, FREE

Fallen Angels
Sparkling, dizzying, and deliciously potent, Fallen Angels , Noël Coward’s champagne-fresh comedy of bad manners, shocked and delighted audiences at its 1925 premiere. Two upper-class wives, their husbands away for the day, share a few toasts to their pre-marital dalliances—with the same man, who just may be en route from France to visit. Old rivalries and past scandals bubble to the surface in this intoxicating romp from one of theatre’s comedy masters. Starring Golden Globe-winner Rose Byrne ( If I Had Legs I’d Kick You ) and Tony Award winner Kelli O’Hara ( The King and I ), with Tracee Chimo, Mark Consuelos (making his Broadway debut), Christopher Fitzgerald and Aasif Mandvi, this new Roundabout Theatre and Tony Award-winning production of ‘pure escapist fun’ ( The New York Times ) was filmed live on stage at Broadway’s Todd Haimes Theatre and now comes to the big screen. TICKETS (+HST) General: $19.99 Members: $14.99, $12.99, $4.99
