Today's Theatre in Community interview is Part I of our conversation with Regie Cabico: poet, performer, storyteller, and teacher.
Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, Regie Cabico is a nationally known spokenword pioneer.
His training and education include a BFA in acting from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and work with Urban Word NYC. Regie won the acclaimed Nuyorican Poets Cafe Grand Slam and later took top prizes in three National Poetry Slams. He's appeared on television on TEDx, in two seasons of HBO's Deaf Poetry Jam, on NPR's Snap Judgment, and on MTV's Free Your Mind.
His work has also appeared in over 30 anthologies, including Aloud: Voices from the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, Spoken Word Revolution, and The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry. In 2006, Regie received the Writers for Writers Award from Poets & Writers for his work teaching at-risk youth at Bellevue Hospital. As a theater artist, he has received three New York Innovation Theater Award nominations for his work in Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind, with a win for best performance art production. And the Kenyon Review named Regie as the ”Lady Gaga of Poetry.”
