'The Consumption Series': Exploring boundaries

Are we consumers, consumables or both? It's the question at the heart of 'The Consumption Series,' the dance-theater piece performed by Charles Slender's FACT/SF troupe.

'I had been living in Russia for a few years,' says Slender, a UC Berkeley grad who danced for Provincial Dances Theatre. 'Every time I came back home to Southern California, I would be struck by the way that American culture, and specifically Southern California culture, consumes. It was much different from the way that Russians consume.'
