No ordinary recipes \u2014 these recipes (and the personal stories connected to them) were collected from professionals in the world of dance.\u00a0For example, you will find ballerina Misty Copeland\u2019s recipe for saut\u00e9ed kale with flounder; tap teacher, choreographer and performer Brenda Bufalino\u2019s pasta sauce; and Ballet Hisp\u00e1nico Artistic Director and choreographer Eduardo Vilaro\u2019s recipe for black beans.\u00a0A blog on the\u00a0Red Shell Mgmt website<\/a>, Kitchen Choreography is a fun online collaborative cookbook that celebrates expressions of creativity through food as shared by dancers, dance teachers, choreographers, artistic directors, dance promoters, agents, managers and publicists, and the culinary curious.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

An examination of these offerings will give you the food idea you seek and insight into the life of the originator of the recipe as well as the world of professional dance. Kitchen Choreography is meant to be as diverse as the kaleidoscopic subject of dance.\u00a0Modern dance pioneer Doris Humphrey, the founding artistic director of the Lim\u00f3n Dance Company, was not particularly interested in cooking, but she did make desserts, and accordingly Kitchen Choreography includes her recipe for icebox cake.\u00a0Marcellus Harper, executive director of Memphis\u2019 Collage Dance Collective, contributed his family\u2019s recipe for crab cakes.\u00a0Diana Byer, founding artistic director of New York Theatre Ballet, contributed her chicken soup recipe to help cure the annual\u00a0Nutcracker<\/em>\u00a0cold.\u00a0Edward Schoelwer contributed a recipe for a food way popular in Cincinnati, his hometown, called gem\u00e9is.<\/p>\n

The seeds of Kitchen Choreography were planted decades ago during a conversation between Schoelwer, president of Red Shell Mgmt, and the legendary teacher and mentor Bessie Sch\u00f6nberg (for whom the Bessie Awards are named).\u00a0Sch\u00f6nberg had recently been a guest in the home of Merce Cunningham, and she reported that Cunningham was a very fine cook.\u00a0Thinking about other notable foodies like George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins, Schoelwer asked if there was a connection between cooking and choreography?\u00a0\u201cOf course,\u201d Sch\u00f6nberg answered, \u201cand it is easy to explain. Both are expressions of creativity.\u201d<\/p>\n

In November of 2020, at the height of the pandemic, when all the world was stuck at home, the Kitchen Choreography project was begun.\u00a0Quirky emails calling for recipes were sent out with the subject line \u201cHow is Your Kitchen Choreography?\u201d\u00a0Dozens generously responded by sharing their \u201cspecialties\u201d from their private lives (submissions are still welcomed).\u00a0And only ideas are being exchanged, not money.\u00a0Finding pleasure in life and community are the intended outcomes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Recipes have been collected from multiple sources so that the blog features dishes from the past as well as the present.\u00a0One will find recipes from Doris Humphrey, Geoffrey Holder, George Balanchine, Robert Joffrey, Tanaquil Le Clercq and Arthur Mitchell, among others.<\/p>\n

Now that a sizable number of recipes have been collected, Kitchen Choreography is live online and available to use, share and add to.\u00a0Just go to\u00a0redshellmgmt.org<\/a>. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
