This panel will provide context for and insight into the work of the
artists performing throughout the Poet’s Theater festival. Panelists
will examine such questions as: What is Poet’s Theater, and is it its
own genre, a hybrid genre, or a way of resisting genres? How have
poetry and performance influenced one another over the past century?
How does the idea of Poet’s Theater relate to larger questions about
the avant-garde? What is the future for Poet’s Theater? The panel
will include poets, performers, and critics: Jenny Magnus of Curious
Theatre Branch, Matthew Goulish of Goat Island Performance Group,
Rodrigo Toscano, and Jennifer Scappettone.
