Performing Art – Colorado Springs

Susan M. Peiffer is a widely recognized and published poet, educator, and spoken word artist. The recent recipient of the Pike\'s Peak Arts Council\'s award for excellence in performance poetry and the Colorado Springs RAW performance artist of the year, Susan\'s confessional poetry covers a variety of subjects, carries a unique cadence, and ranges in style from modern haiku to competitive slam. She is the slam-master, program director and curator of Hear, Here! Colorado Springs where she facilitates workshops in both page and performance poetry for people of all ages and audiences. Susan M. Peiffer has been buying lottery tickets for over a year now, but her lucky number hasn’t come up. Her goal is to buy a $189,000 trailer, $810,988.47 worth of gasoline and a $1.50 map of the afterlife. She believes that irrational is not always unreasonable, that most inanimate objects come to life at night, and that cheese is milk’s greatest leap towards immortality.
