When I Was A Kid

by Shane Koyczan

” He has an ability to take you straight to the heart…. He makes you feel the depth of love, joy and pain in everyday life.”The Guardian

“Shane Koyczan is electrifying. It’s a rare poet who can make his audience laugh and cry; this is a writer who will break your heart then heal it.” – Val McDermid, author of The Grave Tattoo

Yes, he’s the guy from the 2010 Olympic Opening Ceremonies.You only have to hear Shane Koyczan once to be hooked. He is humane, furious, sexy, political, tragic and so funny you’ll be laughing through your tears.

In When I Was A Kid, Shane explores the finer points of growing up. A spoken word multimedia production, this show is an exercise in compare and contrast. It is a look at how fearless we were in our youth and how in growing up we began to put our creativity on the shelf and started to fear things as harmless as a wrong answer on a test. When I Was A Kid will be a quest to rediscover our silliness and to embrace our wonder; a show of both heartache and joy as seen through the eyes of someone trying to reconnect with his curious nature.
