The River Mouth 2025 Festival continues! Following our kickoff ft. Junia-T and the Ground Illusionz Crew, we invite you to the next chapter in our month-long celebration of the arts: a powerful workshop focused on performance, poetry and spoken word.

Join us on Thursday, October 9th, for an inspiring session led by two exceptional artists: the esteemed Ontario Poet Laureate, Testament, and the talented multidisciplinary artist MDRA.
This workshop is a unique opportunity to explore the power of your own voice. Participants will be guided through creative exercises designed to help them craft compelling narratives, sharpen their lyrical skills, and build confidence in their performance. Tying into our festival theme of “Cypher Circles,” this session delves into the ways words can create worlds, form connections, and contribute to a larger, shared story. Whether you’re a seasoned poet or just beginning to explore creative writing, this workshop offers a supportive space for growth.

Don’t miss this chance to learn directly from two of the most compelling voices in Mississauga arts today. Participants are also invited to perform at the River Mouth III Finale inside The Rec Room Square One on October 25th.

Performance and Spoken Word Workshop
This week, we dive deep into the art of authentic storytelling and powerful performance with a workshop that is all about finding your truth and sharing it with the world.
On Thursday, October 16th, join us for an intensive session led by the acclaimed rap duo RUNXGUN (J.O. Mairs and Heavy G). This workshop moves beyond technique and gets to the core of what makes a story connect: being original, being creative, and being unapologetically you.
This is your chance to learn how to craft your narrative from two masters of the form. Inspired by RUNXGUN’s signature style of rugged, street-level storytelling, participants will explore how to transform personal experiences into compelling art. You will learn directly from:
– J.O. Mairs, who will share his methods for commanding a room and performing with an intensity that connects to every single person.
– Heavy G, who will guide you in getting personal, digging deep, and bringing vivid visions of your own past to life on the mic.
This workshop is for aspiring rappers, poets, lyricists, and any creator who wants to tell their story with more impact and honesty. No experience is necessary—only the courage to be real.
The River Mouth III Workshops are a part of the River Mouth Festival, running from October 2-25. Our full festival features 4 workshops, 2 Community Celebrations, a Comedy Show, and a lyrical event like no other inside Square One.
