We Were Eating Class

Polenta: The Gesture. The Ways Slow Goes

Polenta or mush is a delicious dish made from the long and constant stirring of many grains of (nowadays) corn. The identity of some regions in Italy could be deciphered by the size of the grains of cornmeal they cooked with. "Polenta: The Gesture. The Ways Slow Goes" is a class that will be presented February 7th at Tradeschool (139 Norfolk). A presentation and discussion while stirring will look at how gestures identify the times before us the times we are in presently. Excerpts of Italian film maker, Ermanno Olmi's work, The Tree of the Wooden Clogs will be shown, and a short (out loud) reading from Michel de Certeau/Luce Giard/Pierre Mayol's: The Practice of Everyday Life Volume II will be exercised. The class will end with eating what we've made.

"Everybody's Solo" Starts January 24th 2010

Everybody's Solo is the name of a project I will begin January 24th in conjunction with Our Goods launching Trade School at 139 Norfolk Street. There, "Everybody's Solo" will develop by barter. I will conduct Eating classes (at Trade School) in exchange for physical gestures and/or pieces of movement to build a dance-work with. Eating Class is about our appetite. In a group effort, we will meditate what our appetites have to do with everything else. Our appetites will move this class to action.
Eating Class will take place every Sunday at 6 through February.

Rehearsal:

We are working with what we have. We're alive.  Being trees but knowing we are not at all trees . What is the significance of trees? How do we affect a mycellic network below (both the trees and us) together?
