Interested in creating a food and meditation session around your brand or product?

Do you dare to get playful with your food? Have you ever questioned the way you eat? During the playful eating workshop I challenge participants to approach their food differently. Maybe your food has to tell you a great story or it wants to connect you with your body. Considering how you eat may result in sensorial, mindful and intuitive experiences that bring great pleasure to the act of eating!

Completely tailored to your needs the workshop will enable you to dive deeper into the theory of secret seasoning, a framework for playful eating that I created together with Ferran Altarriba Bertran. It’ll get you out of your comfort zone into an experimental and playful mind of state.

The playful eating workshop is great for teambuildings, family gatherings, art events, exhibitions and more!

Food is everywhere nowadays. It is instantly available in restaurants and stores, advertised on every corner of the street and has also been sneakily integrated into our social media feeds.

Have you ever paused to become aware of the context in which you are making food choices?

With this project we took a deep dive into food decision making and how that may look like in the future. This project had multiple outcomes:

a funny booklet with comics
speculative future scenarios
experiential eating events

Scripted - an experiential dinner

The experiential dinner is a three-course meal that serves different future perspectives. With each course the setting of the restaurant changes in every aspect. Going from authorative to informative to … , the participants always start to discuss and speculate about the future of our food system which creates a great dynamic!

Wij namen deel met 16 collega's aan het belevingsdiner Scripted. Het was erg fijn om samen over de toekomst van onze voeding na te denken tijdens een gezellig etentje. De verschillende voorgelegde scenario's zorgden ervoor dat we de toekomst echt konden beleven, dit resulteerde in erg grappige momenten en interessante discussies!

I participated in Scripted Sandwich with some friend and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! The storytelling around the different scenarios was very interesting and sparked a lot of discussions amongst my friends and with the other participants during and after the event.

Scripted at your venue?

Are you looking for a unique teambuilding for your company? Do you want to host an unforgettable experience at your venue? Are you looking to have different & refreshing conversations at the table?

Scripted – the experiential dinner – might just be what you are looking for!

Scripted - 5 speculative scenarios

The project started with research into the (invisible) communication that happens between food & humans. The findings from the research were then translated into speculative future scenarios. Each of the scenarios describes a different futuristic world where the way in which we engage with food has changed completely.

These scenarios were eventually used to create experiential eating performances. The performances were all scripted around the future of our food choices.

Food meditation & storytelling

Acting as a food appreciation facilitator, Elise aims to enable participants to enjoy food mindfully.

During a food meditation and storytelling session, the partakers are guided through a story that is scripted around a certain food item. Whilst they are led into a completely different world, all of their senses will be engaged. The delicious story has an educational value as well as enables participants to connect with both the food item as well as their bodies.

Cookie meditation

During a cookie meditation session participants are invited to envision and visit a bakery in the middle of a green grassfield. There they meet the baker who shows them how he is making the cookies, making the participants smell, knead and taste. In a slow pace, partakers were taken through a conscious eating experience whilst enjoying a freshly baked cookie in a very mindful way.
