A Cross Media Collaboration of Poets, Dancers, and Musical Composers

The Intonation project is a collaboration between local poets, students of musical composition from Montclair State University as well as dancers and choreographers from Montclair State University. Our goal is to foster a deeper understanding of culture, artistic process, and humanity through collaboration and the exploration of universal themes. Six poets will participate in two writing workshops with the dancers and composers to create new work. The new works will be performed on stage at MSU’s theater in the spring. This project emphasizes collaboration, interpretation, and a deeper understanding of the creative voices of others. 

The artists invited to participate in Intonation come from a diversity of backgrounds, which leads to a multi-layered scope of what art/artist in America looks and sounds like.

We seek to bridge the participants individual experiences by inviting three sets of artists to use their craft and vision to explore that which we all share in common—our creative spirit, our humanity. 

Performance: Intonation 2026 will be at Montclair State University DATES TO BE DETERMINED at Life Hall Studio Theater 1200. 1 Normal Ave, Montclair, NJ 07043. Parking at Red Hawk Deck. and Open to the Public.
