We are winding our way towards opening night this week. What started out as a conversation with my mother about our gumbo tradition many years ago, has become this little monster of a dance theater piece that has forever changed my life and how I think about food. With this incarnation of Our Daily Bread my collaborator and director, Ellen Sebastian Chang and I engaged in daily conversations about food; about the difficulties of having a slow enough life to
If I had the time it would be better to keep me on track if I would blog every day during this process... but these days are full and there is much to say about what has taken place over the last month so forgive me if this blog is more like a sampler plate, with only a small taste of many ideas... Since the last blog there have been several food parties that have gone down. We had a

We are in full effect with the food parties and gatherings that will lead up to the remount of Our Daily Bread at CounterPULSE coming up this November 15-18. Though I love the performance work, I have to say these parties are what really FEED me! (yes, pun fully INTENDED!) Coming together with folks in public as well as private spaces to share food, stories and get to know folks in deeper ways is really what it is all about.
By Edward Guthmann -Freelance writer and former SF Chronicle film critic Thanks for your wonderful "Homo File." It's very inventive and smart, and I felt it captured a lot about Sam very accurately. Also liked the casting of your lead actor as Sam. Would love to see how it develops. I knew Sam for a few years, probably starting in '78. I was in my twenties, writing for a local gay rag, the Sentinel, and also occasionally for the Advocate.

In 1948 The Polaroid Land camera revolutionized photography by allowing people to instantly and privately develop their own photographs. For Steward this was particularly important because any kind of evidence of deviant sexuality could be incriminating and may have cost him his job and led to prison time. He took these photographs in the hundreds and shared them with Dr. Kinsey and The Institute For Sexual Research where they were valued as a brave act of historic and scientific research.
We are in the final stages in the Homo File production and very excited by our progress this week. Working with many types of media is very exciting especially where it is related to how Sam Steward documented and articulated his desire in a social arena that would have preferred to render him invisible. Ned Brauer as Sam StewardPhoto: Gary Ivanek One of Steward's documenting practices of queer sexuality in the 50s was with his Polaroid camera. The
