Notes:
The August 2016 Words and Music Show at Casa Del Popolo began at 9 p.m. with Brian Lanigan, who read a number of original pieces, including the first poem he ever wrote as a teenager and his favorite poem. Toronto-based singer-songwriter and author Kyp Harness discussed and read ”Man Who Really Could See,” a section from his novel “Wigford Rememberies” (Nightwood Editions 2016). In the final minutes of the first set, Natasha Perry-Fagant performed a piece about “codified movements.” In the second half of the evening, John Arthur Sweet performed a monologue that was cut from his show “Who Waits At The Top Of The Stairs.” Throw Collective member Rabbit Richards performed five pieces confronting a range of subjects, including sexual assault and depression. “To close this really amazing and eclectic evening,” Stefan Christoff played an instrumental piece on piano.
