In Spoken Duets, Chris Kammler and Susan Dambroff collage words into a riff, a rumble, and a rant, and speak them in syncopated and unsyncopated time. They surf through the day-to-day of these tsunami times with poetic and improvisational collaborations. They attempt to untwist and untangle language weaving in and out of the personal and the political, engaging the audience with their fierce honesty and delightful artistry. They offer prayers, love, and humor, as they nurture our collective resilience to garner our humanity back. CKammler is a writer, director, performer, and drama therapist working in a psychiatric hospital. She and Susan Dambroff have spun words together since the 90s. Her written work has been performed in Europe and SF. She practices Qigong and energy arts to anchor the light in these turbulent times. Dambroff is a poet, performer, teacher, and mother. She is drawn to the detailed placement of words, the alchemy of timing and sequence. Her poetry has been published in many literary journals, and her chapbook, “Conversations with Trees,” has been accepted for publication by Finishing Line Press.
