| Info: | 2004 INNAUGURAL CANADIAN SPOKEN WORDLYMPICS FESTIVAL On October 7-10, 2004, in the great city of Ottawa, the best of the best Canadian and international spoken word artists will compete to take home five Flaming Mike trophies with their names on them. There will be ground-breaking team and individual (Canadian, International, and Francophone) competitions, showcases and open mikes, guerilla reading, jams, and afterparties over the four full days of this unprecedented celebration of performance poetry. We have the support of major Canadian spoken word organizers and artists, the Ottawa International Writers' Festival, the CBC, the National Campus and Community Radio, the Ottawa Fringe Festival, the Amnesty International, and the UNESCO. We have generous funding from the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council, and the Ottawa Council for the Arts. We are a grassroots movement but provide professional quality inspiration. We have twisted tongues, rhyme tied mouth, and big hearts. We write with a torched mike, and, as you can see, sometimes our rhyming is bad. And sometimes, when there is nothing left to say, we will still say it, even if it does not rhyme at all. Please join us for a word fest you have not seen before. For more info check out [ www.wordlympics.com ] Cheers! |
