Verse & Vision

Verse & Vision pairs a poet with an artist from another medium to create a collaborative performance.

Verse & Vision is an electrifying fusion of poetry and artistry, where raw verse meets bold creative expression. This showcase, created by KRISTINE ESSER SLENTZ & Corey Ewing, pairs visionary poets with musicians, visual artists, and more for an immersive, soul-stirring experience. From the heartlands to NYC, we celebrate the power of creative performance, where poetry takes center stage alongside other art forms.

Introducing the Verse & Vision Micro-Residency at Dada—exclusive events where hand-selected poets and artists create immersive, groundbreaking performances at this divine Ridgewood venue. Each quarterly show of Verse & Vision will erupt into a space of raw expression and transformative connection between worlds with a featured collaborative set and an introduction to an emerging interdisciplinary creator.

Step into a night of magic, connection, and unfiltered creativity—an experience like no other. While all are welcome, please look for our specialty postcard and handbill invitations.
