2 Toronto Events: May 5 & 10

Body Brake May 5

10:30 PM

"Anandam brings back the late night art party that is Body Brake on May 5th at Theatre Passe Muraille. This 8.0 edition initiates our shift to a shared curation model; a commitment to expanding circles of influence and curiosity, to inviting more artists and creators into collaboration and to sharing how and who makes decisions in the field. We are excited to have guest curator Soraya Peerbaye working on this incarnation which is shaping up to be pure magic, sculpted with a balance of the poetic and the political."

Brockton Poetry Series May 10

6:30 PM

"The Brockton Writers Series (BWS) is a bi-monthly literary reading series founded in November, 2009. The series’ vision is to host writers who reflect Canadian literature and Canadian diversity, defining diversity to include: established and emerging writers, writers of colour, queer writers, younger and older writers, aboriginal writers and other writers who might not always have the platform to showcase their work.This evening features guest speaker Hoa Nguyen talking about “From Tarot to Creativity”, followed by readings/performances by Ayesha Chatterjee, Mary Lou Dickinson, Ian Keteku and Catherine Hernandez."
