The Man from Cleveland is Leaving

Happy National Poetry Month from Stance on Dance!

BY RACHELLE WOODS; ILLUSTRATION BY CAMILLE TAFT

10 years in this land with no Bros

no Black humor

no one watching your back

 

this is not a scramble at the market

with a boom box back up band

or an all you can eat meat gig

 

this is the Hill

$25 ticket, $9 wine

grey heads nodding

a tiny space to dance

 

fare thee well Brian

 

may you find good sermons

and good music in one church

may the swamp embrace you

 

farewell concert  –  Museum Hill, Santa Fe

 Man From Cleveland

Rachelle Woods practices poetry and contact improvisation in Santa Fe, NM. 

Camille Taft is a seventeen-year-old dancer living in Longmont, CO, who has trained throughout her life in primarily ballet and modern dance. With both her parents as visual artists, she has always appreciated the excitement that comes from a collaboration of mixed media, and was thus overjoyed to have the opportunity to work with Stance on Dance.
