SUMMARY:WORDPLAY  A writing workshop in celebration of creativity and wonder
DESCRIPTION:In a time of busy schedules\, and places to be and people to see\, it can be hard to find the time to simply play. WORDPLAY is a writing play group\, a time in your week reserved for you — a time to connect with the wonder that lies at the heart of words and where they can take us. \nFor a period of six weeks we will meet for two hours of writing projects and prompts designed to welcome the unexpected\, the spontaneous\, and the serendipitous\, culminating in an evening of readings on the last night. \nWhether you are a poet\, a fiction or non-fiction writer\, an aspiring writer\, a musician or a visual or performance artist\, or simply someone who loves the joy of words\, or even scrabble\, boggle or crossword puzzles\, this is an opportunity to entertain what it means to revel\, gambol and cut loose with language. \nWorkshop leader: Carolyn Boll\nA trained dancer\, and recipient of several Canada Council and Quebec multi-media and choreography grants\, author Carolyn Boll is a graduate of The Humber School for Writers. Her poems and short stories have appeared in Lavender Review\, The Gay & Lesbian Review\, and Mayday Magazine\, and her non-fiction writing has appeared in The Dance Current and The Montreal Gazette. Her first book\, a playful partnering between poetry\, image and dance\, is called Social Dance A Book of Ballroom Poetry and was published by Sally Jane Books\, the specialty imprint of indie publisher Headmistress Press.

SUMMARY:P O E T R Y N I T E
DESCRIPTION:Our first show back was … WOW! Seriously\, this community – our talent – our love – our capacity to show up fully for ourselves and each other?!?! There is nothing like us\, together. Come be part of it. \n► DOORS @ 7 – READINGS @ 8 \n► READERS: we reserve up to eight spots before the show and after that it goes to open mic which is mostly first-come\, first-served with priority to BIPOC folks. All artists/musicians welcome!! \n► Show is $5 (tinyurl.com/y9w8j4pm) \n► We want to foster a supportive\, positive environment for everyone. That means no racism / sexism / ableism / homophobia / transphobia and a request that poets please give trigger warnings before your poems. If you have a concern please speak to the poet directly or to one of the hosts! \n——- \n► PORTES @ 7 – LECTURES @ 8 \n► LECTEURS: Nous acceptons jusqu’à huit inscriptions à l’avance\, celles-ci vous garantissent un moment sur la scène. S’ensuit ensuite un micro ouvert sous la formule premier.ère arrivé.e\, premier.ère servi.e avec une priorité pour les gens du BIPOC. Tous les artistes / musiciens sont les bienvenus !! \n► Le spectacle coûte 5 $ (tinyurl.com/y9w8j4pm) \n► Dans l’optique d’assurer un climat accueillant pour toustes\, nous ne tolérerons auncun comportement et propos raciste\, sexiste\, homophobe\, transphobe\, ou s’inscrivant dans toute autre logique d’oppression systémique. Nous demandons aussi aux lecteur.trices de donner des avertissements de contenus (trigger warnings) avant leurs poèmes. Si un problème se fait sentir de ce côté\, prière d’en faire part à l’artiste ou aux organisateur.trices.
