Collectively create a soundscape by eating lunch in front of microphones, banging on kitchen percussion, and talking about the foods that nourish you.

Here’s the deal: Bring your own lunch to the Garfield Park Arts Center, but make sure it’s a meal that balances both your need for nourishment and convenience. You’ll then be invited to chew, crunch, munch, gobble – you know, eat! – in front of microphones while also considering what it is about this meal that nourishes you (however you define “nourish!”) and meets your need for convenience. A live musician playing ambient chords along with some “kitchen percussion” will play in the background with the sounds of eating, story sharing, and music blending together into a recorded soundscape.

Event Partners: Clockwork Music, Arts with a Purpose, and Garfield Park Arts Center.

Audience Note: If you are not comfortable being in front of a microphone helping to make improvisational music, tables and chairs will be set to the side … but we really encourage you to make some totally unique art with us! While this can be a come-and-go style event, here’s what will be going on when:

12 – Doors open
12:15 – Introduction, tutorial on reading a graphic score
12: 20- Write your own Lunch Story, talking with a neighbor is encouraged
12:30(ish) – Lunch is self-served (bring your own!). Eat and create this soundscape together.
1:30 – Mingling
2:00 – Doors close
