Artist: Dr. Goddess

In Word! Poetry, Prose and Performance in Motion!, Dr. Goddess brings together selections from stage productions and poetry workshops to focus on the “promise” of everyone’s potential, Word! teaches students how to use the art of the spoken word (including song) as inspiration, entertainment and even armor by demonstrating the ways in which “Sweet Pea” uses her words to understand the world around her—as well as find her voice and place within it. Students will experience interdisciplinary performance arts that cross African and African-American cultural traditions and explore African-centered thought and philosophy, along with the multiple uses of the spoken and written word.
