Today is the kick off of the Globesity Festival in NYC - a week long series of performances that confront the “beastly grind” of over-consumption.  Each of the participating artists engaged in a juice-fast before the festival, during which they “conceived a theatrical performance in response to consumerism,” that will be showcased at the festival.

Journalists, writers, and documentary film makers serve an obvious purpose in the food movement - researching our society’s eating patterns and reflecting them back in an accessible (ahem, digestible) format.  But what about the performance artist, the dancer, the sculpter?  Find out by checking out the performances at Globesity Fest, here.
