Guelph’s Lindsay Roe is a dancer, choreographer, musician, artist +++ (so many pluses). With a footing in jazz, L Roe blends a bedrock of pedestrian, hip hop and house, weaving in original found gestures and movements from the bodies she works with. Lindsay is a watcher and adaptor, always connected to the world and people around her and constantly creating from real moments. Her work always inspires us and, at Kazoo! Fest 2022, she will be presenting 3 works accompanied by Guelph spoken word titan, Truth Is… — and we cannot wait.

Truth is… is known for their thunderclap rhythm with a distinctive voice, blending ecstasy and despair. Their passion is only surpassed by a desire to explore & express the truth itself, and this becomes obvious when their poetry is spoken. As a Black, Queer, mother, warrior, poet Truth Is… takes an unique approach to talking about the intricacies of life and related traumas. Their intersectional approach allows for the audience to explore experiences, or lack thereof through an empathetic and compassionate lens, fostering wellness, community, & resistance of shame. Truth is… will be performing alongside a dance performance by L Roe.

Catch L Roe ft. Truth Is… at Kazoo! Fest 2022 at Royal City Mission (50 Quebec St) on Thursday July 14th @ 6:30 PM with Cots and Shn Shn. This show will also feature live visuals by Fezz Stenton.
