Announcement from Cid Pearlman Performance
Cid Pearlman Performance is delighted to announce the four poets whose work will be featured in the upcoming dance/video/art installation (home)Body, which premieres at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History in January of 2022. This project is made possible by the Rydell Visual Arts Fellowship at the Community Foundation Santa Cruz.
The (home)Body Poets are:

A poem by project lead artist Denise Leto will also be featured in (home)Body.
