@CPR | Amanda + James: Party Dish

PARTY DISH is a cooking performance and eating disorder exorcism. A woman prepares linguini with clam sauce for the audience while live-mixing a layered sound and video landscape that mourns, ridicules and celebrates the joys, necessity and pain of consumption. It's a rambling lecture given by an unstable dinner host. It's a party.

Choreographed, written and performed by Amanda Hameline

Projection Design by Jace Weyant

Sound Design by Lavinia Bruce

Dramaturgy by Ethan Hardy 

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Amanda Hameline is a choreographer, dancer and designer. She creates performances that are rooted in the human body but also utilize text, props, and technology–everything from video projection, to hotplates, to stacks of cardboard boxes, to a summary of the history of fish cannery. Her works relish in the mundane and bring about a sense of productive dis-ease. Is it absurd or simply tragic? She's often not sure and is trying to figure it out. Amanda has presented evening-length work and split-bills in venues across New York City such as Kestrels, Coffey Street Studio, Arts on Site, CPR-Center for Performance Research, National Sawdust, Dixon Place, Triskelion Arts, and Martha Graham Studio Theater; and in Berlin at Lake Studios and Cordillera. She has also developed site-specific pieces for a variety of non-traditional performance spaces such as Christie’s New York, Pace Gallery, the Chelsea Hotel and in Miami at RAW Pop Up and The Moore Building. Amanda Hameline is also a co-founder of the non-profit production company, Amanda + James. www.amandahameline.com | www.amandaplusjames.com
