ORAL METHOD is an experimental reading series, curated by Esmé Hogeveen, that invites writers and artists to create new work in response to a shared prompt.

This spring, Ace Hotel Toronto will host three ORAL METHOD events that explore themes related to BREAKAGE—asking writers and artists to consider how breaking up, breaking down, and breaking through can rupture old meanings, patterns, and selves, and potentially spark new paths or alternative futures.

Readings are free, open to the public, and will feature work from Akash Bansal, Katie Connell, Kalale Dalton-Lutale, Claudia Dey, Saffron Maeve & Emily Chudnovsky.
