Danspace Project
May 29 - 31

As part of Danspace Project’s 50th Anniversary season, Blondell Cummings’ Chicken Soup (1981), a solo based on her childhood memories of her grandmother in the kitchen, performed in 1982 as part of the Parallels series curated by Ishmael Houston-Jones at Danspace Project, will be remembered, reimagined, and performed by Forté-Saunders. On Cummings' work, Forté-Saunders has said, “I brought her with me, and we danced together, for a moment. Chicken Soup shows a Black woman in her own kitchen, scrubbing her own floors, snapping her own peas, wielding her own frying pan. By evoking this work, we get to examine those kitchen tools as portals—bending time to further the narrative of space, character, and rite.”  Find out more here
