This project is a moving exploration of the relationships between body/self, home/community, and environment/ecosystem through the lens of food.  It took off from a central question: how does the way we experience and enact our own corporeality impact the way we live in and experience our communities and our environments?

Threshold Sites: Feast was supported by the Center for the Arts’ “Creative Campus Initiative,” the Wesleyan University Department of Dance, and the Wesleyan University College of the Environment. This project is the culmination of Nicole Stanton’s 2013 Fellowship in the College of the Environment’s 2013, “Reinvisoning the Commons,” and other campus interdisciplinary initiatives such as the Center for the Arts’ “Feet to the Fire.”
