Bye for Now! Recess Time: CITRUS fest
BRING YOUR PLATE (GATHERINGS)30 June, Sunday
7.00-10.00 PM
Rear Courtyard
We want to close CITRUS fest in the same spirit as its opening – with lively and self-reflexive conversation over delicious food prepared in sustainable ways. And so once again, we are very pleased to have Practice Tuckshop to host, in a special edition of their ‘Recess Time’ programme!
Combining the art of cooking, making conversations and storytelling into a single encounter, Recess Time by Practice Tuckshop is an "ugly produce" communal dining experience. It is a long-running participatory work that stages a social event, i.e. a meal, as the site for performance and engagement.
"Makan Masters" go on veggie rescue missions to salvage unwanted or ugly produce, and incorporate them into a menu of their choosing. Recess Time conversations are also documented using an auto-ethnographic approach by a floating interviewer, known as the "Kaypoh" (Busybody) Queen/King and recorded inside the Recess Journal, which also contain messages from past chefs, photos and food-waste friendly recipes.
Note: The menu contains no pork, lard, beef and alcohol. Please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions or food allergies at least 7 days before the event. Halal-certified bento boxes can be made available upon request.
ABOUT THE ARTS WORKERS
PRACTICE TUCKSHOP
A key initiative of The Theatre Practice, Practice Tuckshop has advocated for sustainability in green practices since our inception. Our works push theatrical boundaries, to open up critical conversations on sustainability. As an arts space, we work with our artist-collaborators to incubate new works, and cultivate a space where different communities (and ideas!) can converge.
