Johnny D Trinh (johnnydavidtrinh.com) MFA, is an interdisciplinary, spoken word artist based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Johnny is the Artistic Director of Vancouver Poetry House and Festival Coordinator for Vancouver Asian Heritage Month Society (ExplorAsian.org). Johnny is also the Founder and Artistic Producer of Stage To Page Performance Society (stagetopage.org), bringing cross-disciplinary mentorship to help spoken word poets grow. Johnny’s pedagogy is rooted in the constant goal of fostering a sense of empowerment, agency, and compassion through socially engaged, community based art. Johnny recognizes that many of us are uninvited settlers on this Indigenous Turtle Island, and continually works to negotiate that through accountability, solidarity, and integrity of practice. Johnny is member of the League of Canadian Poets, and alumni of the Banff Spoken Word Residenc and Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theatre Summer Intensive, and TEDx Surrey Speaker and Coach. “It takes a community to build an artist... whether we are nurtured by it, or resist against it.”


is a beautiful all-ages cafe that serves hot beverages, beer, wine, cider and snacks (hummus! chicken skewers! fried chickpeas! tacos!). There are two non-gendered, single-stall washrooms. There are three stairs between the service area and the main seating area, but the main seating area can also be accessed from street level on Quadra St. If you are able, please enter via the door on Kings St.


~we kindly encourage indoor mask wearing out of respect for our community~
