Event Description

In an effort to mainstream foundational lessons of social-emotional learning amongst the younger generation, Poeartistry equips users with intentional artistry. Through various resources such as curricular-based activities, this program takes a holistic and creative approach to a mindset that promotes high-level self-awareness. Poeartistry was created by licensed master social worker, educator, author, and performer Rage Sinclaire, also known as Gregory M. Singer, and award-winning producer, social worker, and executive producer of Poeartistry Dr. Lee Stone in 2002. Inspired by the comic books read by so many in their childhood, Rage Sinclaire has always been empowered by being exactly who he wants to be in life. This heroic disposition has allowed him to create a psychologically safe space where individuals off all ages can formulate an identity through self-esteem and art. Poeartistry had a fully orchestrated album for its poetry on music and all that can be explored through a word. With over 25 years in the music field, Dr. Stone has transformed the creativity of the musical genre to celebrate meaning and cognitive advancements.

By implementing the lifestyle of Poeartistry, you’re fueling the heart to understand the power of words and actions in the form of beauty. The layering of self-esteem embarks on a discovery of self-definition that ultimately validates the incredible life you were born to live. By incorporating all learning pathways, this space allows further development for growing minds. Using the performing arts as an avenue for comprehension, this platform explores honesty, integrity, strengths, weaknesses, and an overall growth mindset to ignite a better version of yourself and sustain those new achievements. Why Poeartistry? Poeartistry excludes no one. Through its presentation, it brings out the best in the performer. Dancers will dance with power and grace, Poets will pronounce their passion for the spoken word, singers will sing in a manner that will give wings to their wonder and illustrators from all orientations will be presented with a clarity that mere words will only assist to describe.

Regardless of your walk in this life, everyone can experience a moment where the magic takes place, and you are called to explore your purpose. Whether you know it or not, your human form is intended to create and be part of incredible times that remind you of how great it is to be alive. Poeartistry is a multi-cultural performing arts approach that combines poetic prose, music, dance, dramatic theatre, graphic arts, live performances, and multi-media staging. This platform allows those inner voices to ask questions that make you trust without hesitation. Channel your intuition in ways that allow you to make sound choices with confidence and grace. Poeartistry is Emotional Literacy. With remakes of old standards becoming the new norm within all areas of the artistic spectrum, the voice of Poeartistry will always remain refreshing and original. Poeartistry is Artistic Personal Empowerment.
