Increasingly in recent years, the collective conscious is challenging the way humans receive nourishment, apparent in the works of Michael Pollan, Community Supported Agriculture, and The Slow Food movement, to name a few. The kitchen is the gathering place, the heart of the home and as such is the center of our domestic rituals, the place where our physical selves refuel. This physical body is also the center of the performing arts, where voice and movement express our humanity and the ephemeral nature of existence.
F&P artists are at this crossroad of consumption and body, creating work that grapples with the questions of how food nourishes, revolts, entices, rewards, shames, comforts, seduces, and builds community. F&P artists push the boundaries of these questions and invite audiences to partake in the feast.
