About this Event
How To Starve An Artist is an innovative, passionate and entertaining show that blows open ideas about creative nourishment.
Award-winning Canadian poet (and food lover!) Rose Condo performs a series of original poems in her inimitable wry and engaging style.
Exploring the theme of feeding one’s inner artist, Rose simultaneously prepares and serves food to the audience.
Each audience member is given a ‘Starving Artist Kit’ as they enter, containing items to help inspire individual creative activity.
