“Give me your tired, your poor,/ Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…” Emma Lazarus’ famous poem, inscribed as a welcome to immigrants on the Statue of Liberty, is the inspiration for the title of our next Food:Soul. BREATHE FREE will use poetry, short plays, devised work and participatory theatre to empower dialogue about immigrant…

Well, first off, I suppose I should come clean right off the bat: I love Once Upon A Bride There Was A Forest. I’m a fan of all of Kristen Palmer’s work (and of Kristen), but I’ll admit, I…

After the transformative experience of Understand Our Ground, we’re back to our more traditional Food:Soul format, sharing an extreme staged reading of a play we’re passionate about. And oh, are we passionate…
(Photos by Isaiah Tanenbaum. Post by August Schulenburg.) What a night. From the Creative Partners of Flux and all of us on the Food:Soul committee, thank you to everyone who made Understand Our Ground possible. Over 110 people showed up for food, poetry, plays, dance and dialogue on some very difficult themes. This project was a…

(All photos by Ned Thorne. Pictured: Shaun B. Fauntleroy, Rachael Hip-Flores, Ken Glickfeld, August Schulenburg, Pete Boisvert). So…better late than never, right? (Right?) And it kind of makes sense that out of all of our Food:Souls, this would be the one to go missing. After all, this Food:Soul report had to fight its way through…
(Photo and post by August Schulenburg. Pictured: Tarantino Smith, Aja Houston, Vernice Miller, Matthew Trumbull, S. Brian Jones, Isaiah Tanenbaum and Kristen Vaughn.)

(Photo and post by August Schulenburg. Pictured: Becky Byers, Aja Houston, Sol Crespo, Emily Hartford and Chester Poon.) Last night, while some Fluxers were off testing out our new LIC space (tentatively titled “The SandBox” after lead organizer Bad Sandy Productions) for Flux Sundays (more on that anon); six of us held our first rehearsal…
(If you know to whom the image above should be attributed, please email the information to Gus.) Food:Soul is Flux’s potluck play reading series, where we combine the community-building of sharing a meal with an extreme-staged reading of a play we’re passionate about. On Wednesday, November 6, Food:Soul–Understand Our Ground, will be held at Judson…

Quite possibly, true believers, with Ken Glickfeld’s awesome shots here, and Alisha Spielmann’s gorgeous work following.
