We create
Poetry of the Dance
when we join hands in a simple circle
and capture the essence of a poem in our movement.
Of all the art forms,
it is the fleeting moments of dance
that most closely mirror the impermanence of life.
When we combine such an art form with poetry,
we can glimpse the mystery around us.
The first poem was the first sigh of wonder
which is as old as humankind.
Our first dance each morning
is when our feet rise from slumber and touch the ground.

In her choreographies,
Lucy van Leeuwen
combines her abiding love of poetry and dance,
capturing the essence of poems by
Rumi, Hafiz, Tagore, Kahlil Gibran,
Chuang-Tzu, Mary Oliver, ...
Some of the poems
behind Lucy's choreographies
are listed here in the
Poetry Corner.

Lucy would be delighted to offer a
Poetry of the Dance
workshop in your area!

One's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes. - Andrew Wyeth
