Artist Statement:​ Poetic inspiration greatly influences all my art work. Movement experience with collaborations of poetry and dance as a unified art form (dancing poetry festivals) intensify my desire to explore inclusive, innovative and collaborative art forms. Specific referencing – relating to a poem or phrase is meaningful to my choice of direction and process toward toward each each poetic choreography, production, visual and poem. Attempts to gain a deeper understanding, inspiration and reference opens atmospheres that create and share discovery. Reflections of uplifting moments may bring delight, insight and applause. “Cause for Applause And Audible Awe” was the title of one of my dance guide booklets that I developed in order to help coach my poetic dancers. . . I agree that the artists and their art serve as natural international ambassadors. Good will and enthusiasm is priceless. My “gotta dance” attitude comes with an understanding that connection through arts exchange seems to help to recognize and nurture the work of others and the creative spirit. My experiences with poetry that I first discovered I could dance – was written by my poet husband. A love of poetry and my developing dance techniques; nurtured efforts at writing articles, books, poetry, choreography and staging for the Dancing Poetry Festivals founded by my poet husband Richard Angilly and myself are my constant call to discovery. Some poetic performances, readings and exchanges cause opportunity to discover poets, create, connect, and make friends. Poetic discovery is always thrilling
