'For our Mithus, in this world here and all the others.

May you know the women who made you.

And

For our Mothers, the ones that birth and all the others.

May you be remembered, always.'

I am beyond excited about this!

The world premiere of Theatre for One, Nairobi Edition by @NYUADArtsCenter

1 audience member. 1 performer.1 micro play

I've been working on this for months & it's so precious to me. I'll share some process in a thread
Week One sold out within hours, but you can get (free) tickets for Week Two if you keep an eye on this link.

They should be going on sale in the next hour or so...I'll let you know

I'm prepping for my tech rehearsal...so here's a song for you, this one very specifically I was listening to as I wrote the very first draft, and it definitely seeped into the piece

Early this year, a palm tree in the garden exploded in flowers...delicate fragrant creamy petaled flowers

We have been with the tree for over a decade and it had never flowered before.

It was just so beautiful.
The flowers remained for several weeks, and after they fell the the ground, they revealed a twisty knobbly network of branches that stretched up the sky.

It looked like a tree was growing out of the tree.

And at their tips were globules that looked like berries.
After a few months, the branches sort of fell off.

Yesterday's eyebrow raising news about the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) had me wondering about how we will feel the implications of this in our lives...

& it had me remembering a story about KMC from a lifetime ago

Bungoma, bumper harvests & burning bean cobs

A story thread
Many years ago I lived in Bungoma, working for an NGO.

At one point I was assisting with research looking at kitchen gardens, and how HIV/AIDS in the area was affecting farming...who was doing the farming, what was being grown, what it was being grown for...
It's been over a decade, but this particular story I haven't been able to forget

An elderly woman was telling us about the ways in which they used to farm & cook when she was much younger

Bungoma is lush with a treasure trove of delicious and nutritious indigenous vegetables

Here we go

A Chicken Tikka thread

A meandering unraveling

(Thinking about origins, adaptations, memories)
In my search for information about the origins of Chicken Tikka, I had to wade through pages and pages of references to Chicken Tikka Masala

Some say that the Chicken Tikka Masala was named/coopted/has become the national dish of the UK (you won't find it anywhere else)
Some also say, that it was developed by mistake in a restaurant in Glasgow... a (I'm sure hywite) customer ordered Chicken Tikka, then complained that it was too dry.

So the chef poured a a can of Campbell's tomato soup over it, stirred it up & added a dollop of cream
