Verse meets visuals in motion
Cadence approaches video poetry as a literary genre presented as visual media that makes new meaning from the combination of text and moving image.
Read an interview on the beginnings of Cadence.
The festival is a series of screenings, workshops, and discussions on the genre of video poetry, taking place during National Poetry Month. Cadence is currently the only video poetry festival in the Pacific Northwest, fostering critical and creative growth around the genre of video poetry.
Cadence creates opportunities to find community through screening events, artist-led workshops, in-person and online artist happy hours, jury and screening teams, and communication with up to 80 artists during a single festival.
Cadence created the pilot program for the Northwest Film Forum's only Artist-in-Residence program, supporting the generation of new video poetry work by local experimental, interdisciplinary artists.
We regularly commission artists to create new artwork, produce merchandise, and program-specific digital art. We work with cultural organizations across the state to collaborate on film screenings of Cadence artists.
CV
A writer and curator exploring the liminal spaces of the literary arts. I am the author of two chapbooks and have fiction, reviews, and poetry published widely. My interest in how words can be experienced has led to solo work and collaborations to create installations, music performances, broadsides, karaoke, and video poetry. I founded and directed Till, a literary organization that offered an annual writing residency, and am currently co-director of Cadence Video Poetry Festival at Northwest Film Forum.
I’m also a very professional professional
