Mediating elements
In this chapter you will find six sections, each exploring one of what I have termed 'mediating elements'. These are possible components of a performance featuring food and music which one might purposefully use to create links between these two domains. As will be seen, some of these mediating elements may also be of help when seeking ways to connect performers and audience, or to integrate the performance space into the meaning of the performance itself. They might therefore not only be of use to someone designing a food and music pairing, but to anyone who wishes to establish a coherent and synergistic relationship between the different components of any performance.
