Cooking through the fourth wall

November 30, 2014 by antdina

Ferris Bueller tells us to “go home, it’s over.” The stage manager explains what is about to happen in Our Town. Hamlet acknowledges that we’re watching. All examples when the fourth wall is broken: when a character in a show speaks directly to us. Their eyes meet ours and we are no longer pious spectators. We participate. Our reaction speaks back to them. Cooking is performance art. And yet it’s a hidden drama. For unless you have the chef’s table, the […]

Curators designed the permanent exhibit as walk through millennial time.  It shows the progress of species by the only evidence we have: the bones left behind. Scientists point our attention to the hole in the pelvis.  This evolution provides a socket for the thigh bone and greater mobility on land. Or consider the shift […]
