DIS-RUPTED: A PERFORMANCE BY SANTINA AMATO

Crosstown Arts 430 / 430 N. Cleveland December 4, 2018 - December 4, 2018

Santina Amato

Dis-rupted is a durational performance that focuses on the materiality of bread dough and women’s bodies in a designated space.

This will be the largest project Amato has attempted with bread dough; inviting up to 15 female-identifying women to create 600-800 lbs of dough in a public performance setting.

The (anti)climax of the event sees the performers lay, stand or sit in the dough as it rises around them, consuming their bodies. This work is a continuation of Amato’s investigations into the materiality of dough and her focus on the notion of the intimate body, especially the female body.

Amato’s work can be viewed on her website: https://santinaamato.com/
