Meter, Beat and Feet

River Cow/Kacico Dance/The Writers Place

Show Information:

This improvisational program brings together Dance, Music, and Poetry. Six poets each read two poems, and the band and dancers listen to each poem for the first time through. Then, as the poet reads the poem again, the band produces music and the dancers provide movement to parallel the meaning and tone of the poem. Once the poet hears the music and sees the dancers, the poet tries to weave the second reading around what the musicians and dancers do. The musicians and dancers alone end the program. The musicians are the River Cow Orchestra, the dancers are from the Kacico Dance Company, and the poets (different at each performance) are from The Writers Place. Every show is unique.
