TWO EVENTS AT BEYOND BAROQUE, 681 Venice Blvd., Venice, CA 90291
JANUARY 12 SATURDAY 8:00 PM
“YOU CAN GET THERE FROM HERE”
Turning the plasticity of metaphor into the elongated pulses of gestures profoundly embraced and dispersed, dancers will interpret poems that largely originated out of Los Angeles. This evening’s presentation is a collaboration by dancer/ choreographer Liz Hoefner Adamis and poet Laurel Ann Bogen; the majority of the poetry recently was included in Beyond Baroque’s anthology Wide Awake: Poets of Los Angeles and Beyond (edited by Suzanne Lummis). Regular admission. Members FREE
I am looking forward to seeing how my poem, “One Miracle,” ends up being choreographed; not only did it appear in Suzanne Lummis’s anthology, WIDE AWAKE, it was also chosen by my translators in Mexico to be one of the featured poems in both PRUEBAS OCCULTS (Bonobos Editores, Mexico) and THE HEADWATERS OF NIRVANA (What Books, Los Angeles).
