NYC storyteller Leslie Polk’s “The Epistle of Her,” movement and spoken word based on a personal journey of living with “feminist theology” as accessible, not academic.

Leslie N. Polk was born and raised in Fort Worth, TX, and is currently pursuing a graduate degree in religious studies at Union Theological Seminary in New York, NY. She uses her academic research interests in Greco- Roman philosophy and the religions of the African Diaspora to inform her work as a writer, performance poet, and film/video artist. In this regard, Leslie would begin to consider her work as part of an emerging genre known as “womanist theopoetics”.

As an acclaimed orator and poet, she has filmed choreopoems and performed spoken word/poetry throughout several locations including the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, Washington, DC, and New Orleans, LA. Her most recent choreopoem, “The Epistle of Her“, has resurfaced as a one-woman show as part of a Student Artist Residency at the Movement Lab of the Milstein Center at Barnard College. It is with great joy and appreciation that she joins the American School of Storytelling to produce this show at the 31st Annual Minnesota Fringe Festival.
