For this piece, I was concerned with eating as a performance. I wondered, what does mansplaining taste like? What’s it like to have a meal with my art? Or for my art to be the meal? Could my art eat me? To push the performance further I will be experimenting with senses such as sight, taste, and or smell. In contrast, I will also be locating the impulse(s) and or implementing various elements of Black and or “Quare” expression i.e. Call and Response, Vocalization, Improvisation, Masking, Moan, Functionality, Polyrhythm, Reading, and Shade within my Performances. I have come up with a list of calls for performances to execute my project.

I think these requests could prompt people to think about these social issues and/or identity politics in different and innovative ways. Maybe providing some solidity to social constructs. Changing the way, we experience social constructs. Imagine experiencing racism by taste. What does racism taste like? If racism is so bad why do we keep cooking it?
