Dance Magazine Puts Cori Kresge's Interdisciplinary Practice Into Focus

At Dance Magazine, Hallie Chametzky interviews dancer and poet Cori Kresge, author of isn't devotion (No, Dear; 2019). Chametzky asks: "Do you think more dancers should write poems?" Picking up with Kresge's response from there: 

Yes! Dancers have a rich inner world. The best performers have a lot going on inside. Nurturing that by exploring writing could be really wonderful.

I also want dancers to feel confident that they have permission to be writers. You don't need a special license or degree to do it; you just do it. For a long time, I got hung up on feeling intimidated, that I was not legitimate in the writing world because I was a dancer. Finally, I had to just drop that way of thinking because it wasn't true and it wasn't helpful.
