Peggy Dobreer Will Read on September 28, 2014 - 100Thousand Poets for Change!

We were thrilled to announce a reading by Peggy Dobreer on September 22, 2013 last year, but she could not be with us. So, we are doubly delighted to announce that Peggy Dobreer will be the featured poet at the next Village Poets Monthly Poetry Reading at Bolton Hall Museum in Tujunga. The reading will be on Sunday, September 28, 2014, at 4:30 p.m.  This is the 100 Thousand Poets for Change Global Event Sunday, and we are happy to invite all our Open Mike Poets to bring their poetry about change - personal, social, cosmic - whatever you want, as long as it is PG13!

You will have lots of time to read, because in addition to the Featured Poet there will be two Open Mike segments and refreshments. We will pass George Harris's Hat (George Harris was the builder of Bolton Hall) to collect donations for the Bolton Hall. To find out more about Peggy Dobreer read her bio below. After our reading she will manage several writing workshops

Contact Improvisation is a neo-modern dance form, or an art sport, if you will. It is the embodied exploration of the laws of physics that govern all bodies in motion. Peggy brings 30 years of inquiry to light in her workshops. While the focus is mostly generative work, you will also bring a poem of ten to fourteen lines, in progress, for feedback, which includes consideration of vocal dynamics, and carriage at the mic.
