Meter, Beat, and FeetRiver Cow/Kacico Dance/The Writers Place

This improvisational program brings together Dance, Music, and Poetry. Six poets each read two poems as 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. Warning: Adult Language
