SUMMARY:The Way We Calgary'd
DESCRIPTION:Wordfest turns 30 this year and we’re throwing a lively bash to celebrate the Calgarians who helped build Wordfest. It’s our way of thanking writers\, readers\, and community builders for helping to spark our thriving literary scene. And what better way to showcase this city’s range of wordy goodness than inviting seven of our finest storytellers to share a seven-minute tale about the relationship between their art and their hometown\, in its all its contradictions\, complexities\, and connections. Join us for The Way We… Calgary’d\, featuring Ali Bryan\, Marcello Di Cintio\, Will Ferguson\, Cheryl Foggo\, Richard Harrison\, Joshua Whitehead\, and Teresa Wong\, with a special performance by Tom Phillips. \nCome early to check out our special Anniversary Exhibit\, featuring posters\, T-shirts\, ephemera\, and more examples of Wordfest’s creativity over the decades. There will be a special photo opportunity to capture the glam and the glitter\, with libations by Dandy Brewing Co. Owl’s Nest Books will be on site with a curated selection of Calgary-authored books. And\, for the very first time\, Wordfest will be selling signed\, first-edition copies from its archive (with proceeds going to Wordfest Youth). And we will be debuting two new\, limited-edition 30th Anniversary tote bags for purchase. \nThank you to Calgary Arts Development for your support of this celebration.

SUMMARY:PRIDE at Shelf Life Books
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Pride 2024 at Shelf Life Books with a fun-filled extravaganza of local talent including drag performances by Dogiichow & Osmo Cis\, literary readings by Skylar Kay and Bret Crowle\, hosted by Kevin Allen. \nABOUT THE PRESENTERS \nOsmo Cis is an androgynous\, time travelling drag king who landed in the scene in 2022. He is as offbeat as he is handsome\, using humor in his performances to entertain audiences while making them wonder\, “what does cis mean again?” You can find Osmo at his new drag-improv show ‘Whose Drag is it Anyway?’ on October 18 at Congress Coffee\, every other month at the Ship and Anchor\, or co-hosting the ‘HoliGAY Weekends’ show every long weekend Saturday at The Attic. He’s even on Instagram! @cosmonautbinary \nDogiichow is the Campy and equally Trampy sensation\, they have been gracing stages and entertaining audiences across Alberta and beyond. Best known for their custom if slightly questionable fashion sense. When they are not being a drag jester for crowds of barking fans they can be found accepting challenges of hot dog eating contests\, watching cheesy cult classic b-movies and judging arm wrestling contests. Their drag is a celebration of their two spirit indigiqueer identity and a love of entertaining. Where will their journey take them next? Space! Probably not but you’ll just have to stay tuned. \nSkylar Kay is an emerging writer from Calgary\, AB. She has an interest in Japanese literature\, specifically haiku\, and has been pursuing this interest in her poetry since 2016. In addition to being a haiku enthusiast in creative writing\, Skylar also participates in the academic side of Japanese literature\, seeing publication in both academic and literary journals. \nBret Crowle is a multi-genre creator who has spent the last year singing\, dancing\, playing pretend\, and editing her forthcoming debut poetry collection for Frontenac House. The collection\, Jesus is a Voyeur\, will be making its way to you this October. When not creating\, she can be found looking for faces in the clouds\, listening to the same albums over and over again\, and participating in the deeply healing art of noisemaking. \nKevin Allen is a fourth-generation Calgarian who has been documenting and profiling queer people and events for 30+ years. Kevin started the Calgary Gay History Project in 2012 to uncover and preserve stories from Calgary’s 2SLGBTQ+ past (www.calgarygayhistory.ca). The Project has achieved national recognition and led to the award-winning documentary film: Gross Indecency: The Everett Klippert Story; and the best-selling book Our Past Matters: Stories of Gay Calgary. Additionally\, Kevin works as a senior election administrator for both Elections Canada and Elections Alberta.

SUMMARY:Liminal Landing: A Gathering for 2STQBIPOC+
DESCRIPTION:What Is Liminal Landing?\nFirst\, Liminal Landing and The Place are located on Treaty 7 territory\, home of the Kainai\, Piikani\, Siksika\, Tsuut’ina\, Îyârhe Nakoda\, and Métis Nation. What does that mean? It means we work towards the centre and honour the experience and knowledge of those who are Land Protectors and identify ways to uphold their position in so-called Canada. \nWhen the opportunity at CommunityWise Resource Centre came up to activate the space for the 2STQBIPOC community\, the notion of developing a series of gatherings came up. Liminal Landing is an opportunity for those who identify as part of the community to retreat together and build stronger relations that are focused on issues that centre our experience. \nMy [Tyson] queer identity can often feel uncertain\, ambiguous a relentless place of transition(s). It has felt like a liminal space – unknown. Gratefully I’ve landed on optimism\, hope and a sense of liberation in the community. Liminal Landing is a space on your journey\, no matter where you’re whether it’s the in-between\, at your destination or just beginning\, the ‘landing’ is a moment to stop\, reflect and build community. \nWith our time together\, you can drop in be part of the conversation\, create\, play and learn. \nWhat is ‘The Place’?\nThe Place is an accessible\, free\, and collaboratively shared space within CommunityWise. It is QTBIPOC-led. Liminal Landing is one of many opportunities to connect the community at the place. To activate your own idea or learn more here. \nFacilitators\nPriscilla Cherry (Elle/She/Her) \nTrinidadian-Canadian\, Priscilla Cherry\, is a free-spirited storyteller as well as a peer support specialist with a passion for people and creative collaborations with equally uplifting energies. Recognizing a representation gap in media and the mental health sector\, Priscilla applies her lived experience navigating mental health concerns and combines it with her love for play\, creativity and emotional and spiritual healing. Priscilla is a programmer with CJSW 90.9 FM and CKUA 93.7 FM\, the in-game host for Calgary Surge Basketball\, and a lead organizer and board member at large with TEDxYYC. Most recently\, Priscilla launched her childhood dream of having a live interactive talk show and in April 2023\, The Oratory was born. Priscilla firmly believes in the art of hosting; the power of sharing our lived experiences and personal narratives; and that everyone has something to share that someone else could learn from\, relate to or at the very least be curious about. \nTyson Bankert (He/Him) \nTyson is a community developer; his personal slogan is to edify others\, befriend the lonely and promote justice! Tyson is grateful to have his vocation match his values and able to bring people together through the art of facilitation.

SUMMARY:Liminal Landing: A Gathering for 2STQBIPOC+
DESCRIPTION:What Is Liminal Landing?\nFirst\, Liminal Landing and The Place are located on Treaty 7 territory\, home of the Kainai\, Piikani\, Siksika\, Tsuut’ina\, Îyârhe Nakoda\, and Métis Nation. What does that mean? It means we work towards the centre and honour the experience and knowledge of those who are Land Protectors and identify ways to uphold their position in so-called Canada. \nWhen the opportunity at CommunityWise Resource Centre came up to activate the space for the 2STQBIPOC community\, the notion of developing a series of gatherings came up. Liminal Landing is an opportunity for those who identify as part of the community to retreat together and build stronger relations that are focused on issues that centre our experience. \nMy [Tyson] queer identity can often feel uncertain\, ambiguous a relentless place of transition(s). It has felt like a liminal space – unknown. Gratefully I’ve landed on optimism\, hope and a sense of liberation in the community. Liminal Landing is a space on your journey\, no matter where you’re whether it’s the in-between\, at your destination or just beginning\, the ‘landing’ is a moment to stop\, reflect and build community. \nWith our time together\, you can drop in be part of the conversation\, create\, play and learn. \nWhat is ‘The Place’?\nThe Place is an accessible\, free\, and collaboratively shared space within CommunityWise. It is QTBIPOC-led. Liminal Landing is one of many opportunities to connect the community at the place. To activate your own idea or learn more here. \nFacilitators\nPriscilla Cherry (Elle/She/Her) \nTrinidadian-Canadian\, Priscilla Cherry\, is a free-spirited storyteller as well as a peer support specialist with a passion for people and creative collaborations with equally uplifting energies. Recognizing a representation gap in media and the mental health sector\, Priscilla applies her lived experience navigating mental health concerns and combines it with her love for play\, creativity and emotional and spiritual healing. Priscilla is a programmer with CJSW 90.9 FM and CKUA 93.7 FM\, the in-game host for Calgary Surge Basketball\, and a lead organizer and board member at large with TEDxYYC. Most recently\, Priscilla launched her childhood dream of having a live interactive talk show and in April 2023\, The Oratory was born. Priscilla firmly believes in the art of hosting; the power of sharing our lived experiences and personal narratives; and that everyone has something to share that someone else could learn from\, relate to or at the very least be curious about. \nTyson Bankert (He/Him) \nTyson is a community developer; his personal slogan is to edify others\, befriend the lonely and promote justice! Tyson is grateful to have his vocation match his values and able to bring people together through the art of facilitation.

SUMMARY:Wordfest presents Bionic Women Online Writing Workshop with Casey Plett
DESCRIPTION:Wordfest presents Bionic Women\nOnline Writing Workshop with Casey Plett\nOpening The Door Versus Keeping It Shut\nA 90-minute online workshop\, led by award-winning author Casey Plett \n“Write with the door closed\, re-write with the door open” is a famous quote from Stephen King’s On Writing who in turn got the lesson from an editor. King said you should begin your story with the intent of it being just for you\, and then open it up for others to criticize. Was he right? When do you open the door? When do you keep it shut? For how long? How do you balance the humility of seeking criticism if it conflicts with what’s exciting you? We will discuss the freedom of privacy and the nourishment of community\, and how these twin phenomena can balance\, oppose\, and synchronize. \nThe 90-minute online workshop\, led by award-winning author Casey Plett\, begins at 10 AM MT on ZOOM and you will be emailed everything you need to access after you sign up.  \nThis rare opportunity to work with Plett is part of Wordfest’s Bionic Women Writers Experience\, which encourages authors who identify anywhere on the gender spectrum to embrace feminist attributes to become better at their craft. \nThanks to the support of the Canada Council for the Arts\, we are able to offer this experience to anyone in any geographic location who would like to participate. Closed-captioning is included and a recording of the session will also be made available to registrants. Please contact boxoffice@wordfest.com if you are experiencing obstacles to participation.  \nAbout Casey Plett \nCasey Plett is the author of A Dream of a Woman\, Little Fish\, and A Safe Girl to Love; the co-editor of Meanwhile\, Elsewhere: Science Fiction and Fantasy From Transgender Writers; and the Publisher at LittlePuss Press. She has written for The New York Times\, The Guardian\, The Globe and Mail\, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency\, the Winnipeg Free Press\, and other publications. A winner of the Amazon First Novel Award\, the Firecracker Award for Fiction\, and two-time winner of the Lambda Literary Award\, her work has also been longlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize. Plett is a former bookseller and book publicist and currently teaches creative writing. While she has lived many places throughout the United States and Canada\, she will forever call the prairies home\, specifically Winnipeg and Southern Manitoba\, Treaty 1 Territory and the homeland of the Métis Nation. Find her on Instagram @plettsky.\nAbout A Safe Girl to Love \nA new edition of two-time Lambda Literary Award–winner Casey Plett’s acclaimed debut short story collection. \nBy the author of Little Fish and A Dream of a Woman\, eleven unique short stories feature young trans women stumbling through loss\, sex\, harassment\, and love\, in settings ranging from a rural Mennonite town to a hipster gay bar in Brooklyn. These stories\, shiny with whisky and prairie sunsets\, rattling subways and neglected cats\, show that growing up as a trans girl can be charming\, funny\, frustrating\, or sad\, but never predictable. \nA Safe Girl to Love\, winner of the Lambda Literary Award for transgender fiction\, was first published in 2014. Now back in print after a long absence\, this new edition includes an afterword by the author that reflects on trans writing and representation in our current political climate. \nAbout Wordfest:\nWordfest is an entrepreneurial non-profit founded in 1996\, located in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies in Mohkinstsis\, Calgary\, Alberta\, Treaty 7 territory. Celebrating its 28th year\, Wordfest connects audiences with life-changing experiences and ideas at the Imaginairium Festival each fall\, at in-person events throughout the year\, and virtually via Imagine On Air. The Wordfest Youth program supports teen literacy\, by giving students in Grades 7-12 unique interactive experiences with the world’s leading authors.

SUMMARY:The Shoe Project: Standing Strong
DESCRIPTION:The Shoe Project returns to the High Performance Rodeo! \nTen women\, from Afghanistan\, Uzbekistan\, India\, Iran\, Syria\, Mexico\, China\, Nigeria\, and the Philippines will share their stories of immigration and adaptation to Canada – through a pair of shoes. \nThis performance is a culmination of a ten-week workshop cycle where the women were instructed in writing by authors Barb Howard and Kirti Bhadresa\, and voice-coached by Denise Clarke.  \nShoes accompany us on all our journeys. They say who we are\, where we came from and where we are going. Writing and performing their shoe memoirs allows members to be heard in the Canadian mainstream. These powerful stories are bridges carrying us all to a deeper understanding of what it means to be a Canadian. \nThe Shoe Project was created by novelist Katherine Govier and incubated at the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto. \n“I’m blown away. Those women are amazing\, their stories bold and brave and filled with humour\, love\, and all the travails of making their journeys here. I loved the various shoes\, the boots\, the “slippers”. What an outstanding project!” —Catherine Mitchell\, publisher
