Maskquerade Events

Image text: What to expect when you come to an Experimental Phase! A mask mandatory & air filtered club night. Doors open at 6pm. We have a DJ playing music to dance to until 9pm when things switch over to being a different event (Rent Cheque). At around 7pm we have two performances then around 8pm another two performances and a curtain call. No advance ticket sales, just pay what you can at the door in cash or through a QR code to our PayPal. There's also an ATM inside by the entrance. The event is at The Cobalt in Vancouver, BC. Only a few blocks from the Main St. / Science World skytrain station. The performances are all focused around performers trying out new ideas, including our hosts who are often performers trying out hosting for the first time or again after a long hiatus. We often have 1-3 vendor tables set up by the entrance of local artists selling fun things and our own table of stickers, colorful masks, etc. We have free masks available at the door in case you don't have a N95/KN95 mask of your own. If any issues arise of someone not masking or you feeling unsafe please inform the door person or producer and we will address it however needed. At 9pm the venue switches over from being Experimental Phase into Rent Cheque and at that time will no longer be a mask mandatory event. We supply an industrial HEPA air filter that purifies 3,075 sq feet every half hour set next to the dance floor as well as a smaller HEPA filter and air quality monitor that is placed on the stage. Around the stage and dance floor will be marked with tape on the floor as designated 100% masks stay on "Mask Zone" sections. In the back and bar area where the tables & chairs are is where you can take your mask off momentarily to have drinks.All staff and performers will also be masked as well as having done COVID tests before going to the venue, we share photo proof. Venue is ground level. Little bump near the entrance at the moment, but still wheelchair accessible. Gender-free stalls & 1 wheelchair accessible private bathroom. We don't use smoke machines or strobing lights. Earplugs, snacks, menstrual products, harm reduction supplies, etc are available if needed near entrance.
