As performers we are often told to “Leave it all onstage”. Sometimes this propels us into sharing things we are not ready for, or retraumatizations. In this workshop we will have discussions about what we need to take care of ourselves onstage and off. There will be time to share your own best practices, and experiences. Be ready to engage in, or witness; frank discussion, humour as technique, and coping practices for performance.

Vancouver Poetry House events take place on the ancestral territories of the Xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh First Nations, whose lands were never sold, ceded, or relinquished,—lands that were taken. Vancouver Poetry House supports the resurgence of Indigenous culture and the work of Indigenous poets.

There will be ASL interpreters at this event.
