CREATIVE CITY CENTRE PRESENTS REGINA WORD UP AT THE ARTESIAN!
We are patiently waiting for the renovations on our new facility to be completed, but until that time, we are presenting our spoken word events at the Artesian on 13th.
We are grateful to the Artesian for welcoming us into their space!
*****
Feature performer:
Andre Prefontaine is an urban legend. With seven-time national slam championships as his legacy, it was shortly after he represented Canada at the World Cup of Poetry Slam in Paris, where he lived up to the Prefontaine legacy and placed fourth, that he mysteriously disappeared. Rumors circulated that if a curious poet placed a cigarette, a cup of coffee, and a pool cue in a summoning circle while a drag queen recites puns in Latin he’d appear. Failing that, a plane ticket would work, too.
*****
We encourage audience members to engage during the performances – snap, make cheesecake noises (mm’s and yes), laugh, stomp, or otherwise make your appreciation known!
*** GUIDELINES, COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS AND CONSENT STATEMENTS
At the Creative City Centre we always strive for inclusivity and respect in the community both inside and out of our facility, which is why we have compiled the following guidelines to remember both for our events and also in everyday life.
• We encourage respecting the way folks self-identify, without assuming gender, sexuality, orientation, religion, or ability.
• We understand that at times folks may need to leave or engage in other methods of self-care, and that’s okay.
• We encourage language that promotes inclusivity, education, and awareness and dislike all forms of explicit ignorance including, but not limited to, hate speech, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and classism.
• We encourage the culture of consent meaning we respect people’s physical, verbal, and emotional boundaries. This means respecting that some people might not want to be hugged and if you want to engage physically in any way with a person it is important to ask permission before doing so.
