Poets, Musicians and Dancers Collaborate for Event

The work will include crowd participation.

Artists of ever ilk will come together June 17 at 7:30 p.m. for an event at the Takoma Park Community Center Auditorium.

"Pleasures of Collaboration: Poets, Dancers and Musicians at Play," will feature  evening of performance pieces that combine dance, music and spoken word. And the audience will be asked to contribute to a new work by the group.

These experiments in collaboration were developed by a group of artists from Maryland and Washington, DC, during Collaboration Laboratory, the culminating project of Anne Becker’s tenure as Takoma Park poet laureate.  Over a 6 week period, the artists, including, Karren Alenier, Jodi Beder, Rima Faber, Craig Flaherty, Greta Ehrig, Kate Jordan, James Landry, Hannah Leatherbury, Ashira Malka, Sidney March, Shakaya McFarland, Kenneth Moss, Orit Sherman, Rosanne Singer, Patrick Stewart and Ahron Taub, explored the layering of movement with the voices of humans and cello, keyboard, guitar, saxophone, flute and percussion.
