About this event
The North Shore Writers Festival and North Shore Writers' Association present "All the Feels" with Author and Playwright Tetsuro Shigematsu.
In this session, multi-talented author and playwright Tetsuro Shigematsu will lead a lively seminar/workshop entitled "All the Feels."
You know emotions when they hit you: your eyes mist with tears, your heart aches with sorrow, and your breath quickens with desire. Human emotion is the electricity that powers our existence. But how do we harness this energy to capture our readers? This interactive event will include a reading/performance of Tetsuro’s own work. Be prepared to laugh, cry, learn, and enjoy!
Hosted by the North Shore Writers Association.
This is a virtual program that takes place online via Zoom. You'll need a computer with microphone, speakers/headphones and a webcam, or your smartphone/tablet.
Registration is required. Register by April 29 at 5:00pm. The meeting link and instructions will be emailed to registrants on the day of the event.

About Tetsuro Shigematsu
Described by The Georgia Straight as “one of the city’s best artists,” Tetsuro Shigematsu tells stories across an array of media. He is an author, playwright, broadcaster, and filmmaker. A former writer for CBC Television’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes, in 2004 he became the first person-of-colour to host a daily national radio program in Canada when he took over The Roundup on CBC Radio. His solo-work, Empire of the Son, has played in 18 cities to over 20,000 people, and was described by Colin Thomas as, “one of the best shows ever to come out of Vancouver. Ever.”
His most recent work, 1 Hour Photo, published by Talonbooks, won a Jesse Award for Significant Artistic Achievement and was nominated for a Governor General’s Award. Tetsuro recently signed a book deal with Penguin Random House to write his memoirs.
