Doors 7, signup 730, show 8
Open mic available too
$5
This is part of our regular season, to determine the 2013 TPS Team
Featuring Alessandra! She s a writer and performer whose work bares the mark of the highway. A three time national slam finalist, the former chair of Spoken Word Canada and Artistic Director of Montreal's Throw Collective, she represented Toronto in the 2012 Women of the World Poetry Slam and coached the Toronto Poetry Slam team to a national broze medal. Having performed on stages from New York to Buenos Aires and in every major city in Canada, she has been featured on the cover of Nightlife Magazine, The Montreal Mirror and FFWD for her “incisive, raw poetry that packs a visceral punch” (Nightlife 2010). Her first full-length album, alongside band The Wild Hunt, will be released next spring.
In the fall of 2013, Alessandra will begin a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing at the University of British Columbia. Toronto Poetry Slam will be her final public performance in Toronto before moving to Vancouver. She will be accompanied by members of The Wild Hunt, Jennifer Slade (Vocals, Harmonium) & Matt Hayter (Guitar).
