Food as/in Performance

Catalog description

A theater maker has a rare relationship with an audience. It is a relationship that holds the opportunity to engage the five senses (six, if you count the heart). With this thought, let us consider the theatricality of food. How are theater makers creating conversation and experience using language, memory, touch, taste, and smell to shape dramatic action or tell story? Students will prepare “theatrical food experiences” that provide opportunities to write and perform texts.
