A concert featuring new music by E/N/D, the poetry of Ken Mikolowski and the modern dance of Nadja Raszewski with special guest Andrew Bishop on Saxophone.  Mr. Mikolowki’s poems have inspired E/N/D to create new works, improvisations and interludes that like Ken’s poems distill the essence of an idea down to the shortest idea, arch or theme.   A majority of his poems are four words to a few paragraphs—he is the Twitter (ologist) of poets distilling down the essence or affect of emotion, place and being.  The concert will showcase these poems while mixing a diversity of styles, contemporary improvisation and dance accompaniment.
