a blind date between science and theatre in amsterdam

food for thought invites a scientist and an artist to have dinner together in one of the many restaurants of amsterdam. as the starting point of the conversation scientists from different academic and cultural backgrounds offer a menu of knowledge to their artistic table partners. in tasteful atmosphere the couples get the opportunity to exchange their views, ideas and experiences.

although the setting is intimate, the table is laid for a few more. you are welcome to pull up a chair and witness the conversations. later at night the conversation will be discussed during the living knowledge installation afterthoughts.

food for thought aims for breaking the borders of a purely academic or artistic context. by placing the conversations in the lively city-life of amsterdam and inviting unknown table partners to join dinner, food for thought challenges refreshing thoughts and an exceptional dinner-experience.

food for thought is an initiative by University of Amsterdam/Gian van Grunsven in cooperation with Theater Frascati as part of the event Orbis Pictus-Theatrum Mundi.
