On July 20th, the Vancouver Poetry Slam welcomes Torontonian extrodinaire, Yehuda Fisher.
Yehuda Fisher a.k.a. PAN, is a poet, musician and actor who lives in Toronto with computers, quills, books and a dozen instruments... almost. He's been in the Toronto arts scene for years, both entertaining and terrorizing audiences around the city, depending on who you ask.
Formerly he hosted and produced Art Attack, a weekly arts and entertainment magazine show for CHRY 105.5 FM and now hosts the very successful series WordJam: Poetry/Music Fusion Playtime and is the Slammaster/Artistic Director of the Toronto Youth Slam.
He has enjoyed much success competing in poetry slams through Canada and the U.S. and had the honour of being one of the poets representing Toronto at the 2008 Rustbelt Regional Poetry Slam as well as coaching the 2009 team. Yehuda/PAN is currently a member of the Slam Fam Poetry Collective and the Toronto Poetry Project, a group focused on nurturing and promoting the spoken word scene in Toronto through events, slams and workshops. His poetry has been published and he has one chapbook - Pen to Paper. His new CD will be released in July.
This is another qualifier for our IWPS playoffs in September..the winner of which we be representing Vancouver and Canada at the Individual World Poetry Slam in Berkeley, California in the late fall.
Hope to see you all there.
