Doors at 7:30pm :: Event from 8:15-9:45pm with one intermission
While some of the show’s music and poetry is prearranged and scripted, for half of the performance none of the performers know what's gonna happen until it's on the page—not even the poet herself! While the quartet plays, and the audience listens, Silvi types then reads the written on-the-spot poem. If you haven't seen this collaboration before, expect an absolutely original experience. The typewriter is another instrument, poetry another line of music. and, get excited: YOU are part of the show too!

Knocking chamber music tradition off its pedestal by introducing risks, questions, instability, crowds, the unknown - healthy chaotic good. Founded by musicians, in collaboration with a community of artists, for audiences of everyone.
silvi alcivar, poet, @thepoetrystore
silvi's work lives in the moment two strangers meet over her red royal typewriter--the anonymity an invitation to speak, the typewriter keys a willing listener. the poetry is almost incidental. the real work is offering what we all want at the core of our humanness—to feel witnessed and connected, present and seen, spontaneous and at play. while best known as an event poet, she's currently collaborating with musicians, classrooms, conferences, and more.
