HI! Dan Dutterer here:D For a decade now, I've been
working with Young People, the Imagination, and Communication
together, with, and as "Poetic Justice". I use Poetry as a medium
for students from Pre-K to 12th grade to practice and work with
to improve their communication skills. This way they can write
down what they SEE, THINK, and FEEL on paper, with simply a little
more "Pizazz" is all. Practicing anything can always make someone
BETTER at something. What I DO with words is help folks see how
they can actually PAINT with them...use them to COLOR what they're
saying. I want to help students realize they can put the words
in their head on paper to express themselves and still use tools
they already have.

Thinking we do naturally. Writing is simply an extension
of that. One we can do automatically, the other may only require
practice, just like riding a bike. This way WE CAN TAKE OURSELVES
FARTHER. My whole emphasis is in "THE DOING". I work with students
to get them involved...be active...to participate. I open my
residencies with an interactive show, or two, depending on the
age groups and the size of the classes I'm working with and for.
My shows involve students actively helping to TELL the story,
as the poem begins to unfold. This helps them perhaps see a different,
or clearer message being expressed by being a part of the storytelling.
This I use as a stepping stone towards exercises in my writing
classes that follow.

Helping them BE, or SEE inside a poem may give students
a better, even new perspective on the story and the world around
them. You could be staring at fish inside a fishbowl, OR be that
fish inside staring out. Its all about "Perspective", where you
are, or what you see from there. Altering...or readjusting the
way you look at things can put you somewhere else entirely. This
"Misplacement" can open doors that take you places you didn't
expect and open your eyes to things you've never seen. This is
where "Painting With Words" comes to life. I work with folks
on writing down what they experience with their senses on paper.
I help them communicate the knowledge they have AS THEY SEE,
HEAR, TOUCH, TASTE, SMELL, OR "FEEL" IT.

I incorporate what the Final Objectives, Goals,
and Themes are into what's being accomplished in my residency.
I develop an understanding of our Destination, or Where you'd
like me to GO, and I GO THERE. This way I'm headed in the right
direction for everyone. So everybody walks away with a sense
of accomplishment, as well as some new skills under their belt.
I open up residencies with a show, or two, designed for the specific
age groups and we start from there. If "Your" objective is for
them to write ...we write, but if "You" want them to present
something, then we WRITE and REHEARSE for a presentation of poems
they've written, or chosen to be performed at The End. It may
cut in on time, but writing and presentation go to together like
breathing...it keeps things in circulation:D
