[Wamvan] Upcoming Vancouver Biennale spoken word workshops

[Jenna Tenn-Yuk]

Hi everyone,


I have been in Vancouver for the past week and have hit the ground running
for my Vancouver Biennale project.  I’d like to share some upcoming
workshops and events with you over the next week.  I hope you can
participate in one of my workshops and please feel free to share this
information with other interested individuals or groups.  I'm still
available to do a workshop on Monday, June 23 if we can find a location.


Best,

Jenna

*Spoken word workshop description*

I am leading creative and hands-on spoken word poetry workshops, exploring
the complexities of identity, spirituality and sexuality. Participants will
have the opportunity to write, reflect and share their experiences out
loud. They will also have the space to discuss issues they see among and
between LGBTQ, Christian and feminist communities.

The purpose of the workshops is to provide spaces for conversations and
understanding, as well as build bridges between seemingly dissimilar groups
through spoken word. There is often a lack of dialogue, judgment and hurt
between these groups. These workshops will allow individuals to share their
stories, which help us to grow, learn and understand the world around us.
There will also be an opportunity for participants to share their poetry at
a public event at the end of the month.

Let’s hear one another’s stories, sit in the complexities and build bridges
together.
