An evening of poetry, music, and dance from the Langston
Hughes Poetry Circle. Poets, dancers, and musicians collaborate in an unrehearsed, spontaneous fusion of creative expression.
A different dance company will participate each month from a pool of dancers including, modern dancers Betzi Roe, Jennifer
Oliver, Jillian Chu; African dancer Suzanne Forbes-Vierling; modern/ballet dancers Ryan Orion Beck and
Kevin Jenkins, and others.
Let's not forget the matches that light the
fire. Innovative guitarist Will Munroe on electric guitar and Native American flute, and perfect meter drummer
Cody Holland provide lightning and thunder for the spoken words and movement. Past muscians have included Delores Fisher
on keyboards, Daffney Edwards on electric bass, and Patrick Forbes-Vierling on djembe. We hestitate to call it
eclectic music but whatever you call it it works.
