Apples and Snakes presents
A 451 SPECIAL
All the right words in the right order. A bi-monthly showcase of local, national and international spoken word.
Featuring:
Shane Koyczan is both a writer and spoken word virtuoso. He is best known for his award winning spoken word performances. With his rhythmic verse in high gear, he navigates his audience through social and political territory with a furious honesty and a tender humanity that has brought audiences to their feet in New York, London, Edinburgh, Sydney and Los Angeles, to name a few. He received 5 star reviews for his performance at the 2012 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the video, Instructions for a Bad Day, was showcased as the 2012 Vancouver International Film Festival. Winner of the US Slam Poetry Championship and the Canadian Spoken Word Olympics, Koyczan is truly an extraordinary talent that has blown the dust off of the designation “poet”.
"Homer must have sounded [like this]… or Ginsberg or Kerouac." - Amy Brown, The Lumiere Reader
Angela Louise Chicken - Archimedes Screw Showcase winner, Angela started writing while recuperating from an operation and surprised herself. She is interested in people and the things they say, but has been known to delve into other poetry staples like trees and stars and such.
