POETICA HAHA!

Poetica haha! just might be the first ever poetry circus. Each act is centered around a poem by one of the greats (or lesser-greats) and gives audiences the chance to relate to poetry off the page. Dangerously wonderful, imaginatively provoking, whimsically touching, thoughtfully disruptive, playfully intelligent.

PERFORMANCE LITERATURE

Stories presented as performance literature are accompanied by costumes, props, percussion, dance, music--some or all of the above. Stories are read intact but enhanced by these dramatic additions.
