The multidisciplinary art piece engages audience members in a conversation around the issue of food insecurity in Austin, exploring the question, "what would be possible if everyone in our community was fed?" The piece takes the audience on a journey where art is made and shared using the principles of abundance, generosity and community building. 

Admission to the event was a donate-what-you-can model, where attendees can choose to donate volunteer time, money, or goods to two partnering organizations, the UT Outpost and the UT Microfarm.

The Experience:

This installation was a collaboration devised by a team of many artists, from varied disciplines, collaborating with a unified mission. The work combines composition, dance, visual design, dramaturgy, media design, new technology, curiosity and play to create a one of a kind theatrical "meal" in which the audience is invited to sit at the table with the artists in an immersive live performance.

Funding & Awards:

A Recipe for Action has been generously funded by the Rainwater Innovation Grant, UT's Fine Arts Diversity Student Project Grant, and other donors, with venue venue sponsorship from Vesper.
