* KITCHEN MUSIC METHOD
– “Bread and Samba” Event at the MIMA Studio Cultural Center in Brooklyn, New York, spring 2012 filmed by the MIMA Team (www.mimamusic.org). MIMA, founded as our BHN by another Princeton University graduate, has been developing music workshops for mixed groups from low-income areas around the world as a way to awaken people’s creativity, which resonates much with the BREAD Method of community-revitalization and peace-building through collective bread-making workshops around the world. It was through cooperation between BHN and MIMA that the Kitchen Music Method was born in 2012, grounded in the way Brazilian Samba was born in the kitchen as slave women were playing music on their pots and pans in order to keep their spirits up through hardship.

* “BREAD AND CHOCOLATE”, Documentary with the participation of Nadezhda Savova and Laura Esquivel, Mexican author of “Like Water for Chocolate”, Bulgarian National TV
This documentary features Nadezhda Savova making bread and Laura Esquivel, Mexican author of “Like Water for Chocolate” making chocolate, as the two talk about the importance and power of food in human culture, explored through the iconic foods of bread and chocolate, which have also historically played key roles in rituals as sacred foods. Bread and chocolate resemble each other as perhaps the two foods that undergo the greatest stages of transformation and creativity from one substance and texture to the other. As such, bread and chocolate are beautiful symbols and metaphors of life and human relations, from the amount of salt (tears) in the bread that gives it the perfect flavor, to the levels of bitterness or milkiness of the chocolate. May your life be sweet and your spirit rise like bread!
