Tongue to Task

Kevin Jesuino, Scott Medonca & Tim Raposo


Through movement and striking imagery, performers experiment with ideas of consumption and how it directly affects natural areas such as Woodhaven. The title comes from a line of poetry "Take my tongue to task" in Nancy Holmes' Woodhaven poems.

The performers sat in an area off a trail and ate red jello by hand, making animalistic noises in the meantime. They often reacted to noises made by viewers in a suprised manner, like a startled animal. Once finished with the jello they had, they would get up and head to a nearby tree, moving very awkwardly, to pluck a new back of jello and eat it.
