Eat Pray Dance​
Thank you for coming to Eat Pray Dance, an original production brought to you by At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy and NAFA School of Arts Management Dance & Theatre. This collaboration between two different academies brings two institutions and their artists in one performance. The NAFA dancers take inspiration from the chefs of At-Sunrice to develop a site specific work, created especially for the space of At-Sunrice. Conceived by At-Sunrice's founder, Dr Kwan Lui and DrFil of NAFA, together with Asst Faculty Manager Chef Dean Yassin, Director of Craft, Service Excellence & Partnerships, Chef Sebastien Lefort and Director of Leisure Academy & Events, Ms Kori Millar, Eat Pray Dance aims to diversify the audiences of both schools and increase the awareness of the culinary and performing arts. Since this is a site specific work, we'll be thrilled if you take pictures, videos and share them through #EatPrayDance #At-Sunrice #NAFAdance. We hope you enjoy the production!

CAST (in order of appearance)​
INTRODUCTION
Guests are separated into 2 groups which will go through the entire school, viewing the different performances. (Follow the lights, to get the best experience)
SCENE 1
Dinner-table. We explore the relationships, both created and broken at the dinner table. Sometimes, the flavours we taste are affected by the company we keep.
SCENE 2
History. We revisit the colourful history of the spice trade, which has sparked wars and inspired art for millennia. When the east and west collide, cultures influence food and vice versa.
SCENE 3
Dream. We dance for, travel with, dream of food. Even as we dine, we discuss what to eat next. The centrepiece of the this scene is a living canapé.
FINALE
La Mian. We observe the making of hand-pulled noodles as dancers become a metaphor of the proteins being manipulated in the dough.
