CelloPoetica: a weave of words and strings
CelloPoetica is a creative duo project that combines the talents of spoken word poet Jorah LaFleur and cellist Nisha Calkins. Nisha and Jorah share a love of exploratory conversations. As collaborators and friends, they find joy in talking to each other. Onstage, both artists bring decades of individual craft experience and fresh excitement about how to communicate together via their different, uniquely compatible, forms. Each show contains experimental and spontaneous elements. Curiosity sings. At the core, this project is an interplay between an instrument that invokes voice, and a voice attempting to bring musicality to meaning. WEBSITE: http://cellopoetica.net
