IN A World Somewhere Where There Are No Repetitions is a poem and visual script created and performed/spoken”live” by Alex Caldiero, performance poet, with dancers  improvising as directed by the script, as follows:

In a World Somewhere Where There Are No Repetitions is the script/text, typed on legal sized paper.  Each dancer carries, reads, and manipulates the paper during the performance.  Dancers follow  the “stop and go” of the script that is partially spoken and then the text starts over, and stopping until finally the dancers have crossed from one end of the space to the other following the verbal text of the script being spoken by Alex Caldiero, poet.
