Climbing PoeTree ~ Hurricane Season Tour

For those of you that had an opportunity to see Naima and Alixa; the dynamic duo poetic storytellers of Climbing PoeTree, perform at the First Parish Church in Groton, MA two weeks ago on July 24th, what an eye opening and inspiring artistic performance. For those of you who did not hear or see them you definitely need to see them when their tour circles around again to the New England area in Spring 2009.

Climbing PoeTree http://www.climbingpoetree.com/ is the expression of a growing movement for radical social change. Poets, performers, print-makers, dancers, muralists, and designers, Alixa and Naima have sharpened their art as a tool for popular education, community organizing, and personal transformation. With roots in Haiti and Colombia, Alixa and Naima reside in Brooklyn and track footprints across the country and globe on a mission to overcome destruction with creativity.

The two women team are presenting; Hurricane Season Hidden Messages in Water; a 50 city multi media tour across the United States that interweaves spoken poetry, sound collage, shadow art, dance, film, and animation to explore critical issues facing humanity through the Kaleidoscope of Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath.
