RECIPE is the result of a performance and story sharing project developed within the community of Curtis Park and Five Points. Through public story sharing events, interviews, and research, stories were collected from residents and business owners about food and how food shapes our lives, relationships, and experiences of home. The stories became inspiration for a traveling theatre performance, funded in part by an IMAGINE 2020 grant.
