Canzine Calgary is just around the corner! Join us this October 27th from 12pm-6pm in the Memorial Park Public Library for a day of zines, comics, chapbooks and DIY!
As part of Canzine Calgary, filling Station Magazine is thrilled to host From the Page to the Stage, an experiential workshop led by writer, performer, and facilitator Rita Bozi from 4:30pm – 5:30pm.
During this one hour event, Rita will share some of her expertise for bringing your writing to life in front of an audience, facilitate a discussion about performance, and guide new and experienced readers alike through the embodiment of their work in a fun, relaxed and low-pressure environment. Bring a short excerpt of your own writing to rehearse and explore with the group, though space will be made for those who would prefer to listen in. This is an all-ages and abilities event, so please also bring your consideration of others as we learn and grow together.
