| SISTAHOOD CELEBRATION SlamDance 917 Main (formerly The Colbalt), Vancouver BC Slam Dance will bring together
artists from a vast array of genres. Slam Dance will feature slam
poets, dancers, visual and media artists, and top female dj’sDJs. The
evening will celebrate the roots of the Sistahood Celebration (hiphop
and slam poetry) fused with new media and new musical genres.
The DJs will play selections of music from musical genres that
typically feature male artists and DJs, including dubstep, reggae,
hiphop. In contrast, we are pleased to showcase these genres with
internationally renowned female performers. To engage audiences and
further increase artist development we will pair the DJs with poets,
and dancers to create new works of music and art.
