About this event

Celebrate National Poetry Month with a steamy night of erotica at The Arts Guild. This show is bringing the heat from several local poets, including Julie Bull and Tanaka Kativhu, and features burlesque, live painting, and a few other surprise performances. You don't want to miss this one-of-a-kind night of creative Xpression from some of the hottest acts on PEI. 

There will also be opportunities throughout the evening for audience members to share their own spicy poetry. So, bring an erotic poem in your pocket in case you get the urge to share it on stage. 

Bring your dollar bills to tip the performers! Books, prints, and other merchandise created by the performers will also be available for sale (cash preferred).

The artwork created at the event will be available for purchase. Money from this purchase will be donated to PEI Rape and Sexual Assault Centre.  
Julie Bull will also be launching their latest book on the tip of my tongue: erotic poems at this event.

This is part of The Arts Guild's Guildy Pleasures series, made possible with support from Discover Charlottetown.

Behind-the-Scene

Mariève MacGregor is the person behind-the-scenes who is putting me to work and helping bring my words from the page to the stage.

Mariève MacGregor is a director, writer, choreographer, and dance teacher from Charlottetown, PEI. In recent years she has directed Arcadia (2015) and Shop Around the Corner (2017) for ACT, wrote and directed Blindess: A Dark Comedy (2015), and was choreographer for the Charlottetown Burlesque troupe from 2016-2018. Currently she teaches burlesque through the Downstreet Dance Studio and otherwise gets up to no good. Mariève is thrilled to get the chance to direct Julie in the debut of Short Circuits, and hopes audiences are as delighted as she is to delve into the mind of a philosophical poet.

“Short Circuits” includes original tracks created by Julie Bull and Siddhu Sachidananda, as well as songs from The Umbrella Collective's debut album, Welcome to Studio UC. It is such an honour that these incredible humans have shared their time and talent to bring my multi-sensory sound ideas to life. Thank you from the bottom of my he(art) to Siddhu and The Umbrella Collective.
