Photos from work-in-progress
NEW ART debuted "We Are What We Eat" work-in-progress at the Family Arts Festival on Jan. 11. NEW ART choreographer Renee Blakeley also shared work-in-progress, a piece which will be completed for NEW ART's "Works of Art" show, May 30-31 at PCC's Proscenium Theatre.
Local photographer, Josh Schachter, took these amazing pictures of the performance:
We Are What We Eat is a participatory performance about what we eat and why. An innovative collaboration between NEW ARTiculations and the Community Food Bank, the project uses modern dance and community stories to reveal how food connects us to each other, our environment, and our everyday lives. Through a series of interactive, educational workshops in movement and writing, NEW ART artists and Food Bank staff will engage community participants in a "moving" dialogue about food issues. Material gathered during workshops and subsequent rehearsals will be used to create the final performance, featuring stories and dances from community participants and NEW ART artists.
“We Are What We Eat” will be performed Sunday, April 27 at the Tucson Botanical Gardens.
