Between Poetry and Performance: The Language You Live In with Takeo Rivera
Live interactive workshop held via Zoom. (run time: 90 minutes) The poet Sekou Sundiata once said, “the language you live in is where your poetry is.” Incidentally, that is also where theater lives, as well; as poet-playwrights such as Ntozake Shange, Cherríe Moraga, Velina Hasu Houston, and many others have brilliantly demonstrated, poetic theater is a powerful, potent performance form. Join English professor, playwright, and former slam poet Takeo Rivera for an exploration of the choreopoem theatrical form, its contours of vulnerability, and its potential for connection.
