SUMMARY:Breathing Space/Reprendre Son Souffle
DESCRIPTION:Breathing Space is a summer evening series for short readings and performances in any language. In-progress\, experimental\, or unfinished work is welcome\, new collaborative work is enthusiastically encouraged\, trying things out is invited. What we hope is to create room to be unsure and that be okay. \nThere will be a mix of scheduled readers\, and six sign-up spots available on the day. Readings will be approximately 5 minutes. \n// \nReprendre son souffle est une série de lectures et de performances qui a lieu durant l’été. Qu’elle que soit la langue\, les créations en chantier ou en cours d’écriture sont les bienvenues. Et les collaborations inédites sont vivement encouragées. On veut créer un espace où il est permis d’essayer des choses\, où l’incertitude et le risque ont leur place. \nIl y aura un mélange de poètes invité.e.s et d’inscriptions le jour même. Les lectures dureront environ 5 minutes. \nVenez avec des ami.e.s pour participer\, écouter\, faire des rencontres. On a hâte!

SUMMARY:P O E T R Y N I T E

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.

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.
