The Poet-tree En Motion free seasonal showcase has earned the reputation of being one of the most eclectic performing arts events in Philly! The next showcase on Nov. 28 at The Rotunda in University City will provide a variety show with an emphasis this time on live music and the flow arts.
For more than a decade Poet-tree En Motion has highlighted diversity not only in the featured artists’ backgrounds and media, but also in experience. Some of the region’s hottest up-and-comers share the stage with seasoned professionals. And they all come together for a celebration of the arts headed by the one and only multi-award-winning artistic director Gabrielle de Burke.
There is always an open mic and open stage portion to the Poet-tree En Motion events. Everyone is welcome to sign up and perform, and all types of arts and media are welcome.
De Burke is also a featured performer, who goes by the stage name Plum Dragoness, and weaves together healing arts disciplines, dance, martial arts, movement meditation and spoken word into her unique style of “flowetry.”
The Poet-tree En Motion Fall Rhythm and Flow Event is scheduled for 7-10 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 28. The event is free and will be held at The Rotunda, located at 4014 Walnut St. in University City, West Philadelphia. Doors open at 7 p.m. and performances begin shortly after. Suggested donation is $5-$20. Sign up at 7 p.m. for a spot on the open mic.
The next Poet-tree En Motion will be on March 21 for the annual Women’s History Month event. It will be a live music, movement and dance celebration in honor of “her-story.” The following showcase is usually around the summer solstice.
