Shauntay Grant performs t(her)e April 28 at 7:30pm Birchtown Community Centre
Spoken word performer Shauntay Grant brings her blend of words and music to two provincial Black heritage museums April 27-28 in celebration of National Poetry Month.
Pianist Silvio Pupo will provide the musical soundtrack for Shauntay’s newest collection of performance poems, called t(her)e. The work was developed in part at the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia and the Black Loyalist Heritage Society Museum & Historical Site and it explores the artists’ personal connection to people, places and landscapes in Nova Scotia’s historic Black communities.
t(her)e will be presented on April 27 at 7:30pm at the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia and again on April 28 at 7:30pm at the Birchtown Community Centre. Both performances will feature musical collaborations with pianist Silvio Pupo and vocalists Chelsea Amber, Suzy Hansen and Dominique Oliver-Dares.
The program is presented by Wordrhythm Productions with support from the Canada Council for the Arts, the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia, and the Black Loyalist Heritage Society. Admission is by donation, with proceeds with proceeds benefitting the work of both heritage museums.
