This weekend’s weather forecast points to warming temperatures — all the better for going forth and checking out events like those listed in today’s Weekender. In Iowa City, Dreamwell Theatre presents Myocardium, Graphite, a piece inspired by and set in The ArtiFactory. Musician Dickie, fresh off his new EP release, performs at xBk Live in Des Moines. Of the EP, LV music columnist Mike Roeder says that the artist delivers some of his best vocals in his decades long career. If you’re looking to recharge, the Interstellar: Yoga Nidra & Sound Bath class at the Figge Art Museum in Davenport has you covered; participants practice within the art museum’s space with sculptures that emit diffused light and color.
