Bad Poetry: Live in [your town]!
"Funny, clever, poignant, silly, educational, totally amazing!"
​
​"I had so much fun!"​

"Bad Poetry: Live in [your town]!" is an upbeat, lo-tech ever-shifting performance with solo, duet and cabaret versions. With wordplay, poetic rhetoric, clown, counting, dance & song, the work offers logistics of poetic feet, asserts that dance is not a language, and demonstrates how people can turn into poems.
Inspired by Tristanne Connolly's article, "The Importance of Loving Bad Poetry",
the work is an ode to the absurdity of creative process and the steps to self acceptance.
