An Invitation to BRAINSTORM Dark Dining Ideas
Do you have ideas for a Dark Dining Projects sky’s-the-limit event?

Dark Dining Projects has been invited to open the 17th Annual KO Festival of Performance at Amherst College. This year, the Festival’s theme is food.

The two KO evenings will take place in a black box theater where we will have ample room, time and help to incorporate some of the many ideas that have captured our imaginations.

Here is where you come in:
Dark diners, foodies, artists from all disciplines, chefs, scientists, designers and architects, educators, people with sensory disabilities and folks who are just plain interested, all have ideas and experiences that can enrich Dark Dining Projects events. Do you have ideas you suggest we investigate?

Here is an example of something worth exploring: neuroscientist Charles Spence of Oxford University has found that seafood tastes better when diners hear sounds of the sea in the background; it tastes worse when accompanied by sounds of farms or inland environments. Conversely, chicken tastes terrible if the ocean sounds are in the air. Hummmmm, we can do something with that for sure.

Talk to us (actually, email us); We are all ears.

PRIVATE "BLINDFOLDED HAND-FEEDING PARTIES"
The Art of Feeding, the Experience of Being Fed
Amazing for couples, one-on-one, or for a small group
A unique gift for yourself or a friend
Slip on a blindfold. Sit back and be hand-fed a luxurious meal.
The art is in the feeding itself, in the sensory voyage,
and in the surprising range of feelings evoked by
such an intimate yet simple act.
