FEAST: a ballet combines sculptural and painted objects created by visual artist Corrie Slawson with original choreography by dancers Christina Lindhout and Kelly Korfhage to explore the peaks and valleys of human consumption. With FEAST, the complex narratives of seven commodities—Beef, Bananas, Coffee, Sugar, Minerals, Rubber and Timber—are represented.

The story of FEAST is a window into a system of ruler and ruled, consumer and consumed, complicity and resistance, and the pleasure and pain it produces. Dissent and desire are tangled up within a system designed to exploit human and natural resources and leave only some on top.

The real-world inspiration for the setting of FEAST is America and Europe’s Gilded Age of unchecked wealth and growth. The ballet depicts how this time period was blinded by the glitter and glory of an endless cycle of overconsumption. The dancers fall prey to a system with deeply troubling structures: as it farms and manufactures our desires it also feasts on human bodies and natural resources.

There have always been women and there has always been space. Womyn Space seeks to set the record straight on the involvement of women throughout history in cosmological research, discovery and creativity. Evoking the style of a mid-20th century educational filmstrip, Womyn Space questions authority in astronomy and celebrates the often unknown or hidden contributions of female space bosses. Amber J. Anderson and Elena Harvey Collins collaborated with me on this filmstrip.
