About the Work:

"Bad Poetry: Live in [Your Town]!" is an upbeat, lo-tech performance with absurdist wordplay, dance, clown & costume. It playfully argues that dance is NOT a language, explains the logistics of poetic feet, and demonstrates how people can turn into poems.

The show offers tips on how to write a bad poem, presents a rhyming couple(t) with techniques on how to defeat your poetic nemesis, and brings audience's poetic contributions onto the stage through interactive play.

Inspired by Tristanne Connolly's article, "The Importance of Loving Bad Poetry", it is a treatise for self acceptance.

 
Bad Poetry is a thing of Delight
It's not something you should try to get right
But if you feel you really must do it
We've organized something to help you get through it
