SUMMARY:Hullabaloo's 2016 All-Star Slam
DESCRIPTION:Are your students finding poetry boring? Unexciting? An archaic form practiced by old people obsessed with nature imagery? Try the All-Star Slam. It brings the poignancy\, hilarity\, and immediacy of slam poetry competitions to the stage. The All-Star Slam pits three poetic champions head to head to head in an all-out battle of poetic verve and wit. 2016’s All Stars will be Hullabaloo Poet of Honour Janet Rogers\, Toronto’s Lishai Peel\, and Kingston’s Winona Linn.  Hosted by 2010 Vancouver Poetry Slam Champion and Hullabaloo co-director\, Johnny MacRae. \nHow does it work? Simple. The poets perform one poem each in three rounds\, all of which are judged on a scale of zero to ten by the audience — in this case\, the students! In the end\, the winner is announced\, though in effect\, everyone has won. Students have been moved\, inspired\, and engaged by poetry\, often for the first time in their lives. \nThe topics are engaging\, the presentation is amazing\, and the competition is riveting. Guaranteed to jumpstart students into writing careers of their own. \nTo bring a school group to this show\, contact Johnny MacRae through wordplaypoets@gmail.com. \nDoors at noon.\n Show starts at 12:30pm.\n Show ends at 2pm. \nWant to see it in action? Voila: \n\nAccessibility: \nRead the updated overview of The Rio Theatre (completed in February 2015) or the complete updated audit for detailed accessibility information. These documents are available thanks to the important work of the Radical Access Mapping Project​.

SUMMARY:Hullabaloo Underground Indies 2016
DESCRIPTION:Underground Indies is the chance for individual slammers to show the breadth and depth of their poetic skills. After day one of prelims on Friday April 22nd\, we’ll take the poetry off the stage and put it into a different format. The audience will be arranged in a circle around the performance area. There will be no stage and no microphone. Instead 16 poets will compete in a head-to-head format to determine the best slam poet at Hullabaloo. \nAlice MacKay Room (downstairs from the main concourse).\nStarts after Day One Team Bouts\, around 10:30pm.\nEnds around midnight.\nRules:\nEach school can nominate one poet to represent them at Underground Indies. This might be the winner of your school slam or your team captain. The selection process is up to the school or organization. If we have less than 16 reps\, then we will have an open sign-up directly proceeding the competition to bring the number of slammers up to 16. \nThere are no judges\, or rather\, everyone is a judge. 16 poets are randomly chosen into 8 pairings. In each pairing\, the two poets play rock/paper/scissors to determine who goes first. After both poets have performed\, the winner is determined by audience applause. \nTo go all the way and complete the final match at Underground Indies\, a poet will need four poems. \nThe time limit of 3 minutes and 10 seconds is still in effect. If a poet goes over time\, the host will enter the circle and interrupt their poem. \nAs in previous Indies Finals\, the final round has no rules. It is the Anarchy Round. You can have multiple people\, music\, props\, costumes\, whatever you like. However\, unlike previous years\, breaking the rules is no longer a requirement of the Anarchy Round. And yes\, the time penalty is still in effect in the Anarchy Round. That is one rule you can’t break. \nAccessibility Info:\n \nThe VPL Central Branch has elevators to reach the downstairs rooms where the Hullabaloo events are being held. There are wheelchair accessible bathrooms. For more details\, refer to their list of facilities.
