La Danza Poetica #54 Pieces of the Puzzle

The women star, in La Danza Poetica number 54. Women collectivising and collaborating, creating and producing. Featuring two collections of collaborative works: Reverb on Verse out of Australia put together poets with producers and electronic artists. The Monika Werkstatt double album, out of Berlin, is a brilliant example of what comes from close collaboration. Electronica tracks that together form a dialogue between women artists from around the world.

LDP#54 Pieces of the Puzzle takes its title from a poem by English spoken word artist Salena Godden – the poem that closes the show. From Australia to Costa Rica, to Colombia, to Argentina, to Italy, Portugal, Germany, America, Chile, England, France, Japan, Ghana, Mozambique … all these pieces form parts of our big, beautiful jigsaw puzzle of thought, emotion, word, and music.
