Words Aloud 4

October 18, 2007

The Words Aloud Spoken Word and Storytellling Festival is happening again this year over the weekend of Nov. 1 - 4/07. This is the fourth year for the festival which happens at the Durham Art Gallery and this year features a number of additional satellite venues. I really like the satellite venue idea( seeing as though it’s a long bike ride to Durham!) We were provided with a listing of event details and locations which is posted below. Any other details should be available at www.wordsaloud.caor by calling 519 364-0008. alternatively you can also reach festival organizers by email @ words.aloud@yahoo.com

Spoken Word involves all of the body and heart. Canada’s best poets & storytellers take poetry off the page onto the stage. Inspiring workshops for all levels of writers & performers.
