SUMMARY:Poetry Performance Psychology Masterclass with Randell Adjei 
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS \nPeople don’t often remember what we say\, they mostly remember how we made them feel. How do we maximize the dialogue(s) we have with our audiences?  \nPoetry / Spoken Word performances are one of the most powerful forms of communication. There is space between us and our audience that is sacred and bursting with possibility. Our time on stage is full of the pure potential to impact someone or simply share a moment\, a laugh\, a thought\, an idea and/or more. In this workshop we will focus on the psychology of performance\, the preparation before each performance and the mindset to embody the character behind our words. We will explore the rhyme and reason of why we pour on page and how to leave fire ablaze on every single stage we grace.

SUMMARY:CIPS Preliminary BOUT 2
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS \nDoors open at 6 pm  \nBroadcast live on POETV \nPoets will be paired up via random draw and compete head-to-head. This will be a double knockout competition. The poets competing will be the 12 poets who lost in the First Preliminary Night. The top 6 poets who survive the first round\, will compete against the 6 poets who were knocked out in the final round of the First Preliminary Night. This will determine the top 6 poets. Both rounds will be 3 minutes long. \nThe Canadian Individual Poetry Slam (CIPS) will take place between April 26- 28 2023. CIPS is a nationally recognized poetry slam that brings together 24 poets from across the country to celebrate and battle through spoken word as part of the Verses Festival of Words. This year\, the competition will take place in a hybrid format\, with live in person shows in Vancouver\, BC\, as well as opportunities for poets to compete virtually. \nPoets representing spoken word series and regions across what is colonially known as “Canada” will compete in a head-to-head tournament\, presenting poems that are 1-4 minutes in length. \nWinners of each head-to-head bout will be determined by a live vote chosen by 5 randomly appointed judges selected from the audience. We have chosen the head to head format this year\, to introduce a new element of relationality\, theatrics\, and fun. We will go into more details around the logistics of this below. This judging system aligns with our vision of the Canadian Individual Poetry Slam Champion being chosen by fellow community members – without hierarchy\, without prioritizing expertise\, cultivating a way of accessing poetry for all.
