Janet Kuypers performed the two poems: The Carpet Factory, The Shoes and Yeah (with music from Francois LeRoux) at a multi-arts musical poetry performance called The Soul of Soles: A Foot Fantasia. The events took place at the Peter Jones Gallery (1806 W. Cuyler, 2^nd Floor, Chicago, IL 60645) at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 16^th and Wednesday, October 17^th 2007.

Featuring the musical genius of Francois LeRoux (a.k.a the HA!Man of South Africa) and Peter C. Bartels with video shot by Francois LeRoux (aka the Ha!Man of South Africa) and Cathleen Schandelmeier, this event features the amazing artistry of Donna Pecore, Tekki Lomnicki, Janet Kuypers, and Ed Roberson (whose work will be performed by Michael C. Watson - the Word Shaman of WordSlingers).

You can also check out a chapbook of material from a number of the performers, or a Janet Kuypers chapbook of show poetry (plus additional dance-related writings) collected for this show.
