The Omniform Lounge

Wordstorm presents THE OMNIFORM LOUNGE A new bi-monthly forum for artistic discussion and collaboration Tuesday, March 30th, 7pm on Zoom OMNIFORM = all types of artistic expression

Over  the past year restrictions necessitated by safety protocols to reduce  COVID-19 transmission have not only hampered public gatherings at  cultural venues, such as literary readings, spoken word events, theatre  productions, art exhibits, music and dance events, these impediments to  face-to-face conversation have also limited the potential for  conversations and collaborative connections within the Nanaimo and area  creative community.

The OMNIFORM LOUNGE will provide a space for informal discussion and idea exchange among  creatives involved in the variety of artistic pursuits found in our  region and open opportunities for collaboration as well as reduce the  feelings of isolation many authors and artists have been experiencing as  a result of the pandemic.

The  relaxed salon-like atmosphere of the inaugural event will focus on  PROCESS as a theme. Defined as ‘a series of steps taken to achieve a  particular end’, the word process also derives from Old French and Latin meaning ‘a journey, continuation, advancing or going forward’.

Wordstorm invites participants to share what process means to them, how they developed their artistic process, and in what  ways their process informs their work whether it be writing, dancing,  singing, playing music, acting, making visual art, or photography.  Participants are also encouraged to share their experience around  developing collaborative projects among the arts.

Want to be part of what promises to be a unique and exciting conversation?  Register for this free event and a link to the event will be emailed to you.
