Pif-Paf Bee Cart - Pif-Paf

Bee Guides Bombus and Borage are from a secret government organisation called The Human Union of Pollinators – preparing for the worst but hoping for the best with their mobile world of interaction, Bee wisdom and surreal fun.

Delve into the world of Bees, learn the pollen packing dance, the waggle dance and try out their Buzz Pollenator or their Flapper-Winger-Tronerators, meet a giant Varroa Mite, and maybe even get your nose pollinated! Suitable for all the family with rave reviews from festivals, environmental, food and agriculture events, schools and museums

Developed from Pif-Paf’s acclaimed touring installation-show HONEY, the Bee Cart is an exciting, accessible walkabout theatre piece for audiences of all ages. Pete Gunson formed Pif-Paf in 2003 in Manchester inspired by his engineering background and companies he’d worked with. Eleanor Hooper, joint artistic director, trained as a fine artist specialising in portraiture, mask making and performance art.

Commissioned by the British Science Association.

Pif-Paf invite to to join them on a beautiful big hearted journey through food, dance, live music, songs and tales from around the world. Join the Guild of Toasters and dance with their cart through the seasons as you toast your own lives with Batter Based treats from around the world in a love song to community.

TOAST was built from meeting musicians, cooks, dancers and story tellers from around the world who, like Pif-Paf, have made Sheffield their home town. They’ve stitched all these treats together into a show that moves around a space as we travel with their beautiful mobile Toast Kitchen full circle around the wheel of seasons and celebrate each other in intimate sharing of food, wild dancing, and lashings of live music.

FeastFest favourites Vamos Theatre are returning for 2023 and they’re bringing a PICNIC – a hand picked selection of three of their unique walkabout performances. Take a wander in Thames Barrier Park and you’re sure to come across one of these:

Cheapskate Catering, you’ll be simply amazed by their incompetence! Serving drinks and canapés at events, the Cheapskate team guarantee silliness, clumsiness, inappropriate flirting, over-attentiveness, drunken and attention-seeking behaviour of all kinds. Not to be forgotten in a hurry!

The Crimplene Crusaders: our twin-set clad campaigners who will keep a firm eye out for any slouching, flirting or hand-holding. On very special occasions, they may be persuaded to let their hair down and demonstrate some unrivalled disco moves to their favourite modern music.

The Light Brigade – Powered by the people! Turn the dynamo, light up the night and get this party started. The Light Brigade is on hand to charge up Light Festivals and night time events with colour and hilarity using the latest low-impact dynamo-technology. Family & environmentally friendly.

Chan Magazine

 

Chán馋 is a bilingual magazine dedicated to the UK Sinophone communities. Through thirteen contributions by seventeen UK-based writers and artists who self-identify as Sinophone diaspora, the first issue of Chán seeks to explore the interconnections between self and collectivity through food – essays, illustrations, images, poetries that construct lines of difference weaved together by memories of food. Instead of identifying as a bilingual publication, we would like to situate ourselves between languages – allowing space for mistranslation, the untranslatable, the incomprehensible, etc. In a time of uncertainties, we are all craving for food and what it signifies – care, support, intimacy and home.

“Food/Present” 2023

2023

Food/Present

Shoran Jiang

“Food Present” is an immersive journey that transcends boundaries and embraces the beauty of diversity, interweaving cultures and traditions through a shared appreciation for the art of food. I invite you to explore this AR artwork, and witness the power of unity, creativity, and culinary delights as they converge before your eyes.

“Food Present” evokes the enchantment of childhood wonder, co-created by the children themselves. Their drawings come to life in AR, weaving themselves into a gastronomic vision. These imaginative artworks embody the boundless imagination and inventive spirit of young minds, reminding us of the limitless possibilities that arise when we embrace our creativity.
Huge thanks to the young artists: Ansheng, Charlotte, Cindy, Dora, Elise, Lucas, Max, Muchen, Olivia, Rachel and Sophia, who have contributed creative images.
