ROUNDHOUSE SOCIETY, VOLUNTEERS

How did we get here?! 2023 showed up while we weren't looking, and we're into another Roundhouse season of programs and events. Join us and get your body, mind and soul active! As we enter the new year, we've added more and more programs back to our roster. Yogapl3y encourages kids to play with yoga poses and movement, a great way to learn self-regulation (6-8, p27). Capoeira is the secret dance of Brazil, a game played to music and a fun intro to movement for pre-teens (9-13, p36). Our Uke Investigate series (19+, p42) is back with programs exploring 3-chord songs and blues basics. For older adults, try Mindful Artist (55+, p53) which combines painting and drawing with meditation to boost creativity. Our event spaces were jam-packed in the fall, and we have some great options this winter for all ages. The PuSh International Performing Arts Festival (p12) is back with three shows from around the world - Zimbabwe/USA, Argentina, and right here in Vancouver. Mark your calendars for the ever-popular Eggs-tacular Easter Egg Hunt on Sat Apr 8 (p15). There's a new festival in town, the String Summit (p14), with guest players arriving from across the continent to Vancouver to explore the creative possibilities with stringed instruments. These are only a few of the diverse programs and events we have planned for our Winter season. Take your time leafi ng through the program guide, and fi nd just the right activity to keep you and your family engaged during these colder months. We love our Roundhouse community, and are especially grateful for our dedicated group of volunteers who assist with so many of our programs, such as pottery, tai chi, fi tness, theatre ushering, and the Board of Directors. If you're interested in volunteering, contact Silvia Rubino silvia.rubino@vancouver.ca to learn about all the opportunities available.
