Since the premiere of "We Are What We Eat" in 2007, we get many requests to bring parts of the show to schools and community events and we are looking for ways to keep the repertory alive with new company members.
Food issues have only continued to occupy our minds as a society as we grapple the complexity of an industrial food system, including issues of genetic engineering, adult & childhood obesity, transportation and production, and access to fresh and healthy foods. As artists, we continue to seek ways to address these issues in both our work and our lives.
Along those lines, we are happy to announce "Nourishing Gestures," a documentary film by Jamie A. Lee about the making of "We Are What We Eat." The film is in its final stages now and will be complete in Fall 2010. We are hoping to premiere it at a special event shortly after its completion. Stay tuned for more details and be sure to check our web site for updates: www.newarticulations.org.
Take a sneak preview of "Nourishing Gestures"! (http://vimeo.com/10509062)
We welcome your comments.
As always, you are what you eat!

One-liners about food
Dancers:
We're looking for some one-liners (or two) to help capture some of your food stories. Please respond to the prompts below, all four or just those that grab you. Keep your answers brief, as in a sentence or two...
1. A childhood memory of a food, food experience, or food relationship (either recurring or one-time, either eating or preparing or something else, either pleasant or unpleasant, could be something you were told, were fed, were prevented from eating, etc. ) Try to be as specific as possible.
2. Your favorite food and why.
3. Your comfort and/or temptation food. Please write a sentence about it...(e.g. when you reach for it, what it is, how it is that it became your comfort food, why you think you should or shouldn't eat it, etc.)
4. "I remember when I found out that... " (some food discovery you made, e.g. tuna was actually a HUGE fish and not something that originated in a can)
