Fire Over Heaven, Thursday April 18
“You Are What You Eat and I’m Hungry” is a collaborative production by Liz Charky, Arti Gollapudi, Lindsay Head, Amanda Liu and stevie may, that incorporates elements of dance, music, theater and media to probe “collective histories that help us make sense of everything we see and consume”…Chris Nelson is best known as the lead singer of the storied NYC post-No Wave band, The Scene Is Now. His solo performances, while still rooted in song, have proven considerably more unpredictable and unhinged than his work in TSIN, which is saying something…The duo Skakun & Spadine will present a new work for a seesaw/bellows driven flute organ of their own design, , performed by Ashcan Orchestra’s Pat Spadine and Tim Rusterholz.

Directed by Liz Charky, in collaboration with Arti Gollapudi, Lindsay Head, Amanda Liu and stevie may
You Are What You Eat And I’m Hungry is an experimental embodiment that screams and whispers the collective histories that help us make sense of everything we see and consume. The performers, whose ages range from 20-40, are playing themselves. Their collective pronouns are she/her/they/them. They are hanging out in what feels like a NYC apartment. They move around the space, they dance, they play music, they talk to themselves, to each other, to whoever will listen. And they talk a lot. In their headphones, they hear their voice, an inner dialogue that hinders them from easily connecting with the other people in the room. But they try really hard to connect, to listen, and to be heard. They wear headphones and use verbatim theatre from their personal interviews, which cover topics ranging from memories about food and family, to descriptions of what the inside of their brains and bellies look like, to their aspirations and the imagined future memories that they hold. The audience encounters an opening up of individuals, a meditative and refreshing perspective on what it means to be hungry, to be seen, to listen and be heard. Run time: 30 minutes.

||. Chris Nelson
Chris Nelson has a long history of playing in rock bands. When performing under his own name he delights in an improvisational spontaneity not only as to musical content but also as to the nature of the performance itself. So he doesn’t yet know what he will do on 4/18, but is fairly confident that 1) sound waves will be generated; and 2) incendiaries will not be deployed. There may be special guests. But who knows? He hopes to entertain, but it might be wise to bring some reading material.
|. Skakun & Spadine
Valerie Skakun and P. Spadine have been working as collaborative partners since 2017. The philosophy of Skakun’s recent body of work began the moment she was struck by a car while on her bike and left unable to walk for a year. She has explored sculptures as objects of ritual and labor, ranging from time-based devotions to endurance trainings in order to transform mental and physical states of being. Spadine has worked under the Ashcan Orchestra, a pen name and performance ensemble as a vehicle for his audio/visual experiments since 2007. Informed by a sense of wonder, his work has sought to emulate, celebrate, and demystify the laws that govern the physical universe. Together they work in the realm in which the physicality of sculpture and sound overlap. Skakun and Spadine seek to explore the dual nature of labor and play, as a way to engage the world of wonder within the viewer through a physical catalyst.
