Workshop: Message & Audience Feedback

Message workshop pointers:

  • The message is in the food itself, and embodied in the event. How do you articulate the message to them?
  • Is it verbal? Do I verbally tell people the story behind the food message? Would I have a team, trained to relay the message to talk to the rations? Is there takeaway information? Like takeaway food?
  • Is this a food stand/cart? How is it branded?
  • Where is the message located in the branding/tangible things apart from food?
  • Make the audience appreciate historical circumstances
  • In message: explain what it's got to do with 'me' (audience). How do I/have I benefited from them going through this? Appreciation in a negative way—eg "thank God it wasn't me", like people in modern times living in period settings. Thankfulness/gratefulness.
  • How is it served? Is it a packaging & branding exercise where the rations are served in a metal tin, bento box style, eaten then are returned?
Audience workshop pointers:
  • How do you get them to care outside their friends, family, flat etc...
  • Teaser to exhibition.
  • Food is a tiny aspect of your project. Don't just focus here.
Thoughts:
  • Get people to huddle in a small space to recreate huddling and eating in trenches.
  • Vending machine style. Swipe phone/something to receive digital info and experience box.
