This is a joint presentation of the MayWorks Festivals in Winnipeg, Toronto and Edmonton featuring some of the best young poets from each city.

Boonaa Mohammed, Truth Is, Pip Skid, Emcee E and Rafeef Ziadah are five young award-winning poets who’ve got something to say. They will be performing original poems commissioned for the tour. Come out to hear these dynamic poets for what promises to be one of the most enthralling performances of the festival! Produced with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts. Proudly co-sponsored in Winnipeg by the UWSA and CKUW.

We’ve just posted the 2007 event calendar, so have a look. Once again we have lots of great events throughout the month of May.

MayWorks 2007 is dedicated to the memory of Rick McNair. Rick was known for his many accomplishments in the world of theatre and the performing arts. He also played an important role in the first years of the Mayworks Festival. He personified the MayWorks theme: “Celebrating Labour and the Arts”. In 2006, he joined the MayWorks Board to contribute to the process of bringing the Festival to a new and wider audience. His energy, talent and enthusiasm will be deeply missed.

Welcome to another year for MayWorks in Winnipeg. We’re very excited about this year’s program, and hope that you can join us for as many events as you can. Stay tuned to this space for this year’s calendar and program, as well as updates on the goings on after the festivities begin May 1st.
