8 November 2010 – Song Slam featuring Evalyn Parry

[admin]

from Slammaster Sean:

   
On Monday November the 8th 2010 we will be celebrating our annual Song Slam featuring Toronto's Evalyn Parry.

"Equally funny…and dangerous” CBC Radio
Evalyn parry is a critically-acclaimed spoken word artist, songwriter and theatrical creator based in Toronto. From 19th century cycling heroines to 21st century sailors; from “feminine protection”, from bottled water to the quest for the Northwest Passage, evalyn’s outspoken creations hold out a powerful vision of social and personal change, while her irreverent wit holds nothing sacred.

Accompanying herself on guitar, water bottle, shruti box and loop pedals, parry shoots from the hip and aims for the heart. Fierce, funny, poignant and provocative, she has been charming audiences at storytelling, poetry, music and theatre festivals from coast to coast of North America.

Her work has been widely broadcast and anthologized; she has released three CD’s, written and produced five plays, and her latest musical performance project SPIN (starring The Bicycle as Muse, Musical Instrument, and Agent of Social Change) will premiere at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in Toronto in March 2011.
