IWC Team Slam: Team Hero vs. Team Villain

  • BNA Burger 1254 Ellis Street Kelowna, BC, V1Y 1Z4 Canada (map)

Do you prefer heroic characters, like Katniss Everdeen and Robin Hood? Or are you more drawn to the villainous type, such as Darth Vader and Cruella de Vil? Or maybe you’re of the opinion that not all heroes are as moral as they seem and that villains can’t be so neatly categorized as evil. After all, was Frankenstein’s creature really the bad guy? And are Batman’s actions ever truly justified?

The storied, epic battle of Heroes vs. Villains will be definitively decided at IWC’S Team Poetry Slam on March 28. Join us at BNA Burger from 7:00 – 9:00 pm to find out who will reign victorious. Show up dressed to rep your team in what is sure to be a slam for the ages as both sides battle it out for a cash prize. There will be individual poems performed in the first round, and a co-written team poem performed in the second round.

Tickets are available at the door, and entry is a $10-$20 sliding scale. There will be prizes for best costumes!

There are two single user, gender-neutral washrooms available and the space is wheelchair accessible.

Our programming is made possible by the City of Kelowna, the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies at UBC Okanagan, and BNA Brewery.

We respectfully acknowledge that we live and work in the unceded, ancestral territory of the Syilx people. It is a privilege to be able to put on events as uninvited guests on their land.
