Upcoming Events

  • You, me, us, and the silence between your first syllable and the microphone. Test out some new material, sus out the stuff that makes you feel best, and taste some new words you’ve never smelled before - all risk free! Our open-mic nights have NO judges, NO points, NO scores, and NO rules!.. Except for time. Please keep your total stage time to 3-7 minutes, depending on number of sign-ups. You’ll know when you go overtime when you feel a presence looming behind you, and you’ll know you’ve really screwed up when you can feel warm breath on the back of your neck. (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

  • As a part of a year-long storytelling campaign, Kahanee x Winnipeg Poetry Slam bring you an extraordinarily remarkable evening of gathering, good feelings, a sense of belonging, and an opportunity for reflection against the broader Winnipeg landscape. We’ll explore the many ways we express, challenge, or reshape ‘belonging’ through stories, visual arts, poetry, theatre, dance, music, and food! Featuring our very own Steve Locke, this workshop will present the opportunity to articulate your own personal piece of art to be added to the larger community collection.
