Word Dances: Poetry in Motion is a unique fusion of poetry, music, and modern dance that evokes the joys and sorrows of life, offers renewed hope, and kindles a sense of wellbeing and joy.
The performance is based on the book, Time to Soar: Word Dances and Bird Songs for Every Season, written by poet-dancer Katie Bruckbauer of Fargo, North Dakota and illustrated by Mary Jo Savageau of Bismarck, North Dakota. With birds as guides, the poetry brings messages of healing, harmony, and hope.
Sunday, May 18 at 2:00pm

Choreographers Bruckbauer and Barb Wieland of Park Rapids, Minnesota, accompanied by a small ensemble of dancers, bring the poetry to life onstage. Viewers have called Poetry in Motion “brilliant” and “life altering.”
