In celebration of Miami's Poetry Month, Poetry in Motion invites participants into an embodied creative experience at the intersection of language and movement. Co-led by interdisciplinary artist KT and BPC's Miranda De Gasperi, this workshop draws on butoh, the Japanese avant-garde dance form, alongside somatic and ancestral movement traditions.

Participants will write short-form poetry and choreograph simple movements, discovering how each art form illuminates the other. The workshop is designed in direct conversation with Shadows and Traces, a PAMM photography exhibition featuring works by femme Latine photographers and printmakers that reflect on memory, imprint, and the marks left by lived experience. Through rhythm, gesture, and image, Poetry in Motion offers visitors a personal and participatory way to connect with the themes and works on view. By cultivating an experience of intuitive, embodied storytelling, attendees will forge personal and participatory connections to the exhibit's focus on hands, bodies, and silhouettes.

This workshop is open to everyone, no experience is needed, simply curiosity about the intersection of these art forms. This workshop offers a unique opportunity to expand your creative horizons and deepen your understanding of the body's innate capacity for poetic expression. Join us for an evening of movement, reflection, and celebration of Miami's vibrant poetry community.
