Engaging in movements inadvertently opens a new door to perceive and experience life. Finding something that was always there yet seen fresh for the first time. And often when an artist or a practitioner of movements starts discovering these experiential gifts, it finds expression in poems.
If you are that person, who has taken to poems or reached a point where your natural expressions at times tend to flow like a poem, then you would relate with this instantly!!
We invite you to participate in the #poeticpot initiative by Living Dance. This is an attempt for art to be received and felt not just as visuals but as literature coming from the depth of experience. Hence you can be a promotor of art through your writing and exchanging poetic expressions.
For this initiative we will await a total of 25 poem submissions out of which the first 7 will be shared on our insta page (@livingdance.imprints) tagging you. Once we receive all 25 poems, we would have reached closure of Poetic Pot 2026 initiative. We will compile the collected poems into a compact poetry book that the first 25 participants will be able to take home to share.
Submission Guidelines
The poem should be in the context of dance or art but you need not be an artist to participate. If you are an art enthusiast or explore movements in general, you are welcome to give a submission. Below are just a few examples that should help you select your subject –
- self discovery through art
- devotion in dance
- artistic journey & memories
- gratitude for the art form
- your figure of inspiration, etc
Language choice should preferably be English for the ease of compiling and reviewing. But if you wish to write in any other language please DM or email us. We will look at the possibility and confirm.
To show your interest in participation, DM us “Interested in Poetic Pot” on insta or WhatsApp us on +91-7981370517, and we will soon share with you the submission guidelines.
