The Invisible Dog (New York City) and BUoY Arts Center (Tokyo) are thrilled to present a workshop dinner by Chiharu Shinod.
This performance is part of NAFAS, an international festival exploring the relationship between art and food with an exhibition of 70 artists and a series of performances, workshops and events. Discover the full program here
For this special NAFAS evening, artist Chiharu Shinoda invites participants to take part in Script Dinner, a workshop she has developed and presented in various locations.
Each guest arrives with two ingredients. From this unexpected collection, the group imagines a menu, cooks, and shares a meal together. Throughout the evening, participants take turns documenting what unfolds, from the first gestures in the kitchen to the conversations and encounters around the table.
After dinner, these fragments are gathered and read aloud. The meal becomes a script; its preparation, accidents, flavors, and exchanges are transformed into a collective performance created in a single evening.
今回、NAFASで行うのは、篠田が今まで様々なところでやってきた、『戯曲・ディナー』というワークショップです。参加者はそれぞれ２つ程度の食材を持ち寄り、そこに集まった材料から晩御飯のメニューを決めて、作ります。また同時に、調理からみんなで食べるまでの様子を参加者が交代しながら記録していきます。食べ終わった後、記録をもとに読み上げながら、その日の晩御飯を上演する、というワークショップです。
