Mr. Ford was a featured performer in Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre’s Mélange Series. This series combines one musician, actor, or spoken word artist, with one dancer and one visual artist. Mr. Ford performed an hour-long program of his poetry with dancer, Sophie Jones and visual artist, Kevin James Wilson. Again, the performance was an overwhelming success, with patrons enamored with the power and beauty of Mr. Ford’s words and performance.”
