EDIBLE TALES IS A MULTIMEDIA DANCE INSTALLATION EXPLORING CULTURAL HERITAGE, SOCIAL JUSTICE AND SUSTAINABILITY.
Using food-related topics, the production shares embodied experiences, practices, and presentations rooted in BIPOC storytelling and indigenous land stewardship practices. An example is visiting an ancient Hawaiian fishpond to help with restoration efforts, learning about reciprocal ahupuaʻa land-care practices that honor ancestral stories & memories, and talking to community elders about Soul Food and its connections to the Black American experiences and the ancestral flavors from West Africa.
Our community and ancestral stories are transformed into movement narratives performed by intergenerational & multicultural artists.
