Volta, or the turn that shifts a poem’s emotional tension, manifests physically inside these video poems as actual pirouette. Interspersing movement-based video poetry are works utilizing a more conventional poetic turn; shifting from scientific to familial, from catastrophic to celebratory, inside of animations or submerged in watery memories.
Cadence: Video Poetry Festival, presented by Northwest Film Forum, programmed in collaboration with Seattle author Chelsea Werner-Jatzke and artist Rana San, is a series of screenings, workshops, and discussions on the genre of video poetry, throughout National Poetry Month. Cadence fosters critical and creative growth around the medium of video poetry, approaching it as a literary genre presented as visual media.

Linking memory to the mirrored surfaces and murky depths of a lake, movement and voice recall the experience of swimming in dark, mysterious waters. Drawn lines animate over video footage of the moving body while the tone shifts from scientific explanation into a personal recollection.
