Wonderland was unleashed upon the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts (and its surrounding area) last night for The National Ballet of Canada’s annual Mad Hot fundraising gala. This year, the Ballet took its theme from the wildly popular premiere of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon. After a gala performance—including selections from the work as well as Passacaglia, No. 24 and The Dying Swan, danced by principal dancer Greta Hodgkinson, who is celebrating her 20th year with the company—guests including Karen Kain, Galen Weston Jr., Alexandra Weston and actress Lisa Ray wined, hors d’œuvre’d and wandered the transformed building, which housed an extra-long mirrored dining table filled to the brim with traditional tea fare, a hookah-smoking caterpillar, and multiple bars serving “White Rabbit” cocktails in teacups. Across the street on the Osgoode lawn, six Alices played croquet with flamingos.

From June 10 to 19, Toronto will again be a mecca of arts and ideas as the annual creative festival Luminato takes over the town. While this event boasts a chock-full schedule of spellbinding events, we’ve highlighted some of our favourites. For a full list of events, visit luminato.com.
Garden of Roses: Denis Gagnon Interprets Alice
It seems fitting that Lancôme and Luminato would choose Canada’s favourite bespectacled son to design an Alice in Wonderland–inspired dress for its annual fashion exhibit. Who else but a master of colour, proportion and the unexpected could take on a girl who sips tea with a hatter and plays croquet with a queen?

In the spirit of the National Ballet of Canada’s much anticipated upcoming production of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, the company is hosting a Mad Hatter Workshop at the Walter Carsen Centre (470 Queens Quay West) tomorrow, May 31st at 6:30 p.m.
Channel your inner Mad Hatter by decorating your own hat or headpiece in the style of the crazy character with the help of the Ballet’s wardrobe whizzes. Sure to express the atypical beauty that permeates the modern take on the classic tale, you are then invited to wear your creation to the Ballet’s Mad Hot Wonderland Gala on June 21st. The best hat of the night will nab two gala dinner tickets to join VIP guests and dancers of the Ballet on stage for dinner and dancing after the cocktail reception. Forget those dancing shoes… bring your dancing hat!

Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland hits theatres today, but the tie-in machine is already in full force. Swarovski launched a Wonderland-themed jewellery collection last week that manages to combine kid-friendly designs with more grown-up pieces. The Red Queen gets a nod with bejewelled hearts and spades; the Mad Hatter with sparkling shears and spools of thread. There’s even a Cheshire Cat pendant. The limited-edition collection of pendants, rings, and bracelets hit all Swarovski stores last week, and will be available until they run out. Or Alice wakes up.

With its decorative curios, ceramic and wrought-iron housewares and eclectic print clothing, Anthropologie (anthropologie.com) feels like a delicate homage to the Victorian era. The official opening of its Yorkville outpost, its second store opening in Toronto in the past six months, felt like a tea party straight out of the Victorian favourite Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
