CLIMBING POETREE
Climbing PoeTree's acclaimed performance is composed of dual-voice poems, award winning multimedia and theater that explore diverse themes, including: healing from state and personal violence, environmental justice, civil rights, spirituality, global politics, and woman's empowerment.
Climbing PoeTree has rocked 500 mics in more than 70 cities across the U.S., and from South Africa to Cuba with powerhouses such as Erykah Badu, Alicia Keys, Angela Davis, Alice Walker, Amiri Baraka, Sonia Sanchez, Nikki Giovanni, Danny Glover, The Last Poets, and Dead Prez. They have led workshops in institutions from Columbia University to Riker's Island Prison. And they have toured over 11,000 miles on a bus converted to run on recycled vegetable oil bringing their soul-stirring performances, interweaving spoken word and award winning multimedia theater to expose injustice, heal from violence, and make a better future visible, immediate, and irresistible.
