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.
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
