SUMMARY:DJ Basics by Pass the Vibes
DESCRIPTION:Pass the Vibes is back for the summer\, and we’re calling all music lovers\, sound selectors and vibes curators… \n\n\n\nHave you ever felt a calling or curiousity towards DJing? Are you the trusty curator who’s always on the aux? New to your DJ journey or open to learn a new skill? \n\n\n\nWe’re hosting an intro-level DJ Basics workshop on Sunday\, June 8\, 2025 from 1PM-6PM! Come through to the Chnge Mker Innovation Hub\, located at 44 ByWard Market Square. \n\n\n\nThis workshop covers all things DJ Basics\, including a brief history of the craft\, software & hardware options\, mixing techniques and 1-on-1 support anyone beginning or along in their DJ journey. All levels are welcome and no previous experience is needed. You’ll have plenty of time to practice on the equipment\, which includes multiple DDJ-REV 1s and a DJControl Inpulse 500. Our facilitators will also be sharing some tips and their own personal mixing process with participants! \n\n\n\nYour Hosts: \n\n\n\n\nMusicbyJayel\n\n\n\nDJ Celestial\n\n\n\nDJ Nebula\n\n\n\nMona Monet\n\n\n\n\nYou don’t wanna miss this one! Welcome in the summer with a new skill\, new friends\, community sounds and vibrations. \n\n\n\nRegistration is limited to 15 participants. Please only register if you can come through! \n\n\n\nWe will be hosting another DJ Basics this year. \n\n\n\nTickets for this workshop are available by donation (pay what you can)\, with a suggested donation of $25.

Our collective has since evolved into a safe and playful space of belonging\, experimentation and healing for Black and Black Queer youth (aged 18-30) in Ottawa\, offering resources\, hangout spaces\, connection and knowledge sharing opportunities. Pass the Vibes’ vision is to create experimental\, non-judgmental and Queer/Trans-safe spaces of belonging for Black youth to witness themselves and each other in creative expression. \n\n\n\nWe’d like to extend a big thank you to our funders\, Ontario Triullium Foundation\, for making these events possible! and thank you to our organizational mentor\, DARC – the Digital Arts Resource Centre for their ongoing support.

SUMMARY:Open Stage
DESCRIPTION:Open Stage Night aims to create a safer space to explore performance for 2SLGBTQIA+ folks aged 18+. Folks of all skill levels can sign up to perform any art form of their choosing\, which can encompass music\, drag\, poetry\, and more.  \n\n\n\nFolks who are interested in attending Open Stage Night without performing are also encouraged to sign up below.  \n\n\n\nWhat is an open stage/open mic night? \n\n\n\nThese are typically events where audience members can practice their performance skills or promote their upcoming shows. Consider this event more of a rehearsal than a professional show\, where we can center folks within our communities who aren’t typically given opportunities to practice their skills in front of a live audience. Tipping/donating to performers is encouraged. \n\n\n\nPlease note that performers are required to provide a short description of their performance with their registration. Performances should align with Kind Space values. We also have a limited setup as a venue\, so we ask that performers bring what they need or request it in the form\, and we’ll respond if we can provide it or not. If we have any additional questions about your performance following registration\, you will be contacted via email. \n\n\n\nMaximum Attendees (Including Performers): 35 people \n\n\n\nPlease email us if you are unable to make it to Open Stage Night once you register. Upon completing this registration form\, you should receive an automatic email confirmation with some additional details. If you have not received this after 24 hours\, please let us know. \n\n\n\nAccessibility Notes: https://kindspace.ca/about/accessibility/
