A formative and respected figure in Montreal’s vibrant cultural scene since the early 90s, Catherine Kidd has forged a reputation as one of the nation’s most surprising and inspiring voices for page and stage.
Kidd’s multimedia collaborations and solo works have toured extensively to poetry, music, and theatre festivals throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, UK, US and Canada.
Her  solo show Sea Peach toured internationally for six years, from a small self production in an abandoned pool in Montreal to prestigious theatre venues such as Toronto’s Harbourfront Theatre and Singapore’s Esplanade by the Bay. Her performed poetry has played to audiences from Whitehorse to Oslo, small clubs in New York to amphitheatres in Cape Town. The opening chapter of her début novel Missing the Arkwas nominated for the Journey Prize. Kidd’s work questions boundaries and defies simple categories.
Catherine currently lives in Montreal where her most recent show was Hyena Subpoena. Her published writing includes two critically-acclaimed collections of poetry Sea Peach (book/cd) and Bipolar Bear (book/dvd), and a novel Missing the Ark.

Kaie Kellough is a Montréal word-sound systemizer. He is the author of Lettricity (Cumulus, 2004), and Maple Leaf Rag (Arbeiter Ring, 2010), which was nominated for the Manuela Dias design award. Kaie is the voice of one sound recording, Vox:Versus, a suite of conversations between voice and instrument.
He currently collaborates with a number of musicians and recently presented a work for projection, voice, synth and  saxophone with musician Jason Sharp. 
Kaie’s print and sound work is underwritten by rhythm and by a desire to dis-and re-assemble language and meaning. Kaie’s work emerges where voice, language, music, and text intersect. He blends word-games with sound poetry, dub, and jazz. He has performed and published internationally and is currently working on a new album for release this fall.
