Local choreographer Daina Ashbee presents her work When the Ice Melts, Will We Drink the Water?

Ever heard of a Rubik’s Cube party? The idea is to wear an outfit that’s one solid colour and either exchange clothes with other people or put on outfits that will be stashed around the venue — la Sala Rossa, in this case. This will be going down tonight thanks to Taking What We Can, an organization that aims to support and empower low-income transwomen and transfeminine people. The strip-down/dress-up activity at this party/fundraiser will be accompanied by DJs Bunny Guts, Bamboo, Lenorecore, Inyourface and Bakla. 4848 St-Laurent, 10 p.m., $5–$10/PWYC
