Unbewusste Orte, Feuilles Tourbillonnantes
by Vincent KatzUnbewusste Orte
One likes to dance,
another needs to
tighten her wheel.
Every moment
is innocence.
They carry those little
packages behind them.
Shit is earth.
What motivated
“Machine Gun” Kelly?
Certainly not poetry
in that battered past.
Wisps of notes.
A wisp of a girl.
Feuilles Tourbillonnantes
Now I’m away from forgiven
the netted mastery slides weekly
on, offended robotic slur
presage Rommel inveterate clutch
shinsplint ideogram
Malbec gelding
you land on a silver
crash aflow with life’s
hum in squawks.
I’m liberally hung
to fry all time.
But you so bootifal.
Christ, thought he was
gonna stifle himself.
Cold jones it.
Running this badge
of security a fall
time. And you’re
with me, so no excuses.
This merits hand-held.
Thank you, kind
protectress resounding
exclamations of
harbored ecstasy.

Dance Caribbean Collective's Third Year
by Susanna SloatJUL-AUG 2017 | Dance
There are cultural niches waiting to be filled, some particular to Brooklyn, where the islands of the Caribbean come together. Candace Thompson realized this as an emerging choreographer who wondered how she could get her work more widely seen, and more specifically, how work like hers, imbued with both her formal training in modern dance and other dance idioms, and her Trinidadian heritage, could reach a Caribbean American audience in New York. Joining with others in the same situation, she founded Dance Caribbean Collective (DCC) to present their first program in June 2015.
