Food is community, food is power, food is legacy, food is memory, food is love, food is home, food is life. Food has the capacity of bringing folks from different backgrounds together. Food is personal history, oral history, and oral tradition.

The ritual act of making and breaking bread together. Finding moments of collective, collaboration, sharing, and primal qualities of food making. 5 modest ingredients and slight variations can make hundreds of different kinds of doughs that transcend different cultures, spaces, places, times, and identities. From your chapati, to your bagel, to your bao, to your pretzel. A dough for them all. All-purpose. Dough and dough making becomes a symbol for the collective, the slowing down, the tension between planning, being precise and adapting and improvising. 

Multi-disciplinary artists Mike Durkin and Tracy George will lead audiences through a series of performative rituals around sourdough bread making. We will share a collective community while making and sharing food together.
